Donald Trump's physical and cognitive health has taken a turn for the worse. He gave an exclusive interview with NBC last night and during the interview he said that he loves to take these cognitive quizzes. Here's how he describes it. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
I take cognitive physicals, so I do a cognitive mind test, okay? And a lot of people wouldn't be able to do very well. Not easy. You know, you get to those last questions I've aced. I've done three of them. No other president has agreed to do them. I do them because I have no problem with it because I'm 100%.
Main Narrator / Host
And they're not called cognitive mind tests. They are cognitive exams to determine mental decline. Then Donald Trump talks about how he continues to take this aspirin over and over again. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
I'm 100% now. Still taking the aspirin?
NBC Reporter / Interviewer
Still taking the aspirin.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
I do. I take aspirin. And I don't want to change, you know, I don't want to.
Dr. Vin Gupta
So you go against your doctor's orders.
Main Narrator / Host
You do what you kind of feel.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
You know, I've been taking aspirin for 30 years, and I don't. I don't want to change it. So, you know, they say, take the smaller one. I say, well, I want that blood to be nice and thin running through my heart.
Main Narrator / Host
And then it gets worse from there. Donald Trump talks about how he loves to take these physicals. And he goes, I do this physical and that physical. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
I feel great. I mean, physically and mentally. I feel like I did 50 years ago. It's crazy. Now there'll be a time when I won't be able to give you that answer, but that time has income, you know, I do. I think it's very important. I've done more physicals. I take physicals just to give the report out.
Main Narrator / Host
And then he's asked by this NBC reporter, if at any point your age impacts your job, who's going to tell you that, Donald? Because I think the reporter saw what we're all seeing right there. Here, play this clip.
NBC Reporter / Interviewer
If at any point your age impacts.
MAGA Supporter / Commentator
Your job, who's going to tell you that?
NBC Reporter / Interviewer
Or do you think you'll know yourself?
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
I think I'll know myself. I think I'll know myself.
Main Narrator / Host
You know, and there's other examples of really serious kind of physical and cognitive decline during this interview as well. You know, one of the things that stood out to me, you know, is that he could just be saying this because he's terrified of what former President Bill Clinton might testify to when Clinton speaks with Congress about the Epstein files. So Donald Trump may be saying it for this reason, but Donald Trump, after, like, trashing former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump's like, you know what? It really bothers me that Congress, that the Republicans are going after Bill Clinton. Trump says, that hurts me. I don't want them to do that. He understood me. I liked Bill Clinton. You're the one who's going after him. What are you talking about? Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
It bothers me that somebody's going after Bill Clinton. See, I like Bill Clinton. I still like Bill Clinton.
NBC Reporter / Interviewer
What do you like about him?
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
Well, I liked his behavior toward me. I thought he got me. He understood me.
Main Narrator / Host
And we've seen Donald Trump repeatedly talk about these Cognitive exams. What was it? Two weeks ago, he randomly held a press conference about whole milk. No one's really even sure what that whole week about whole milk was about. Many believe that RFK Jr. Was trying to push raw milk, which may have killed a bunch more people in the United States recently. But then they changed it to whole milk because people realized how crazy it was. But anyway, Donald Trump's like, will the whole milk help my cognitive exams or just something crazy like that? Here, play this clip right here.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
So milk would help your cognitive ability? Absolutely. You can tell who's been taking cognitive tests? I've taken a lot of them. I've aced every one of them because I drink milk. It's good for. And it shows.
Main Narrator / Host
Now, even Donald Trump's former White House lawyer, someone who knew Donald Trump better than just about anyone in the Oval Office during the first term, former White House attorney Ty Cobb. Like, this guy represented the White House when Trump was in it. This guy. I was very close to Trump during the first administration, and he just did an interview with. With our friend Jim Acosta. And here's what Donald Trump's former White House lawyer said. When your own lawyer is saying this about you, that's usually not a good thing. Here, play this clip. But, Ty, it sounds as though you.
Ty Cobb (Former White House Lawyer)
Are concerned that he is not well. Oh, he's not well. I mean, I'm not. I'm. You know, look, I was very clear when my friend Joe Biden was shaking hands with the air and struggling to find the door to get off stage, and finally the whole country saw what I'd seen for a couple of years after the debate, that he was not well, that he was not capable of leading the country. And. And Trump is worse. I mean, you cannot do those screeds that he did for the G7 or the things that he had said about, you know, Greenland, the things he says about Venezuela, the things he says about, you know, his. His predecessors, Obama, you know, Biden. It's just. It's just. It's just insane, the things that he says. And. And I think this. I think the story needs to be, you know, how extreme this is not, you know. You know, isn't this, you know, a standard deviation from the norm? It's not. Is this. Is. This is so far out of bounds, people have to deal with it.
Main Narrator / Host
It's dangerous.
Ty Cobb (Former White House Lawyer)
Very dangerous.
Main Narrator / Host
Yeah.
NBC Reporter / Interviewer
And.
Ty Cobb (Former White House Lawyer)
And look. I mean, look at the. Look at the damage we have. We have allies, you know, allies that have been our allies for 100 years, you know, through. Through wars, blood and treasure. You know, who will not share intelligence with us because of the war crimes that Trump has committed. They won't share intelligence with us because they're afraid that it goes from Trump to Putin. You know, we are in a place we have never seen before, and we need to navigate out of it as quickly as possible or we're going down.
Main Narrator / Host
And one of the other signs of Donald Trump's demented mind and the cognitive decline that many people suggest is Alzheimer's. The lots of medical people are saying, could it be Alzheimer's? Could it be rapidly accelerating dementia or other things? Just the attacking of female reporters. We know Donald Trump's horrifically misogynistic. We know he's a horrible person. But the way he snaps immediately at female reporters, he's always done that his life. But kind of the uncontrollable nature of it right now. Like, you remember what happened with Kaitlan Collins two days ago. Play this clip.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
Maybe get onto something else.
Mary Trump
What would you say to people who.
Reporter / Interviewer
Feel like they haven't gotten justice? Mr. President?
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
Something that people care about. Yeah. What did you say?
Reporter / Interviewer
What would you say to the survivors who feel like they haven't gotten justice?
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
The worst reporter. No one to see. CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile.
Reporter / Interviewer
Well, I'm asking you about survivors of Jeffrey Epstein.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
You know why you're not smiling? Because you know you're not telling the truth, and you're a very dishonest organization, and they should be ashamed of you.
Main Narrator / Host
And then about two months ago, when he was on Air Force One and he yelled at the reporter and said, quiet, piggy. Quiet, piggy. And then you have, like, Trump sycophants around him, whether it's MAGA Mike Johnson or whether it's JD Vance basically trying to say that's just Donald Trump's humor. He's very observant. He's a very funny guy. Like the other day when Donald Trump attacked Kaitlan Collins, that just shows Donald Trump's awareness. Here, play this clip.
MAGA Supporter / Commentator
I mean, there was a moment in the Oval Office, I wasn't even in there, but I was in the West Wing, and somebody sent me where he was talking to Kaitlan Collins, who's the CNN anchor. And I have, like, a decent relationship with Kaitlan Collins, which is unusual given that she's from cnn. But the president, she's asking a question. The president says, why don't you ever smile?
Main Narrator / Host
Yeah.
MAGA Supporter / Commentator
And it's actually like so perceptive. Even if you're asking a tough question, even if you take your job very seriously, like, why does it always have to be so antagonistic?
Reporter / Interviewer
Well, I laugh because I saw online everybody was calling him sexist for saying that. And I literally said the same thing about Kaitlan Collins a year ago on my show. She never smiles. Every once in a while you have to smile. Roger Ailes used to tell us that every once in a while you can remember. Smile. Show the viewers that you have a heart.

Main Narrator / Host
The reporter was also asking Donald Trump about why Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, was part of the raid of the Fulton county election offices where they raided and took all of the 2020 election ballots. And Donald Trump's description of Tulsi Gabbard in is that she is foreign governments. He refers to Tulsi Gabber, the Director of National Intelligence, as he describes her as Xi's foreign governments. What do you mean she's foreign governments? Are you saying that she's an agent of foreign governments? Play this clip.
NBC Reporter / Interviewer
Why is Tulsi Gabbard there?
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
I don't know. But you know, a lot of the cheating comes from it's international cheating. You have people, they say from China.
Dr. Vin Gupta
Trying to put something.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
Let me ask you social media, do you think China tries to influence our election?
Main Narrator / Host
We know that foreign governments try to.
Sponsor Ad Narrator (DeleteMe)
Influence a lot of things.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
Well, that's what she's foreign government.
Main Narrator / Host
And of course, you know, at the Midas Touch Network, we have to get expert opinions. So we have Dr. Vin Gupta, who leads Midas Health, renowned doctor, renowned physician. Here's what he says to us about Donald Trump's behavior recently. Let's play it, Ben.
Dr. Vin Gupta
From the very start, I think number one, he's the President of the United States. So let's hope he's getting beyond the headlines, the care that he needs. He does have a family history, importantly of age related dementia. His father famously. This has been well documented. Fred Trump had age related cognitive decline and it manifested, frankly. And a lot of his family members have actually spoken out about this. There's a lot of similarities between what we're seeing more and more frequently. Frequently we're observing a lot of the trends that we first noticed a few months ago. There's a symmetry between some of these earlier signs in his case and what his father went through. Mary Trump, others of his extended family have spoken out about this symmetry. But what are we seeing? We're seeing again, we're just observing the facts here. Just to say we don't have his medical data, I don't have access to his medical chart. But this is what everybody's observing and he's the president. So I think the scrutiny is fair word finding difficulties. The fact that he has inattention, you know, he loses his train of thought. Everybody is describing these speeches as meandering, covering 30 different topics in the course of say two minutes. He's meandering. So that's inattention, clear inability to express his own thoughts, difficulty completing a sentence, tangential speech, of course, memory issues. He doesn't know that he's talking about Greenland for even the course of his sentence. And he confuses it with Iceland. There's significant concern and you know, that's just on the nature and content of a speech.
Main Narrator / Host
More from Dr. Gupta here in terms of what he had to say to us. Let's play this clip right here.
Dr. Vin Gupta
But he's lashing out, he doesn't have, he's having elements, I would say. You know, some people say, well, is he showing signs of early Alzheimer's or early, just age related, cognitive, perhaps? A lot of the symptoms that we just talked about are consistent with those diagnoses. Again, we're just observing what we're seeing. But frontotemporal dementia, you know, the acting out, behavior changes, lashing out, acting unreasonable, you know, one, again, one could say this is his core fundamental personality based on what we've seen over the last, over frankly his entire adult life. But it's getting worse.
Main Narrator / Host
And just taking a look at some of Donald Trump's family members, here's what his nephew Fred Trump III has said about Donald Trump's deteriorating health. Play this clip.
NBC Reporter / Interviewer
I know what I saw in my grandfather. I know what I saw in Donald's older sister, my Aunt Marianne, who in the end, thank you for saying I am not a doctor. I don't pretend to be. I just, I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers. What it, what it is. Donald's cousin John Walters had dementia. It runs in the family. I'm not happy about it because guess what, I worry about it myself. You know, when I wears my glasses over on the top of my head now, I don't know, that may be half irs, but.
Mary Trump
Right.
NBC Reporter / Interviewer
It runs in the family.
Main Narrator / Host
He.
NBC Reporter / Interviewer
He looks older and I get it. I mean, I'm not saying anybody who is in that office looks different than when they come out, but the things he's spewing and the craziness and he just can't stick to a message.
Main Narrator / Host
And here's what his niece Mary Trump had to say about his deteriorating health. Let's play it.
Mary Trump
Concerns over Donald's physical and mental decline are mounting even among Republicans. Donald is 79 years old and a deeply unhealthy person. His father had a very serious case of Alzheimer's that went on for about 15 years. Every day, Donald seems increasingly feeble and unable to focus. Even the New York Times is starting to catch on to this. And as he weakens, so too does his hold over the Republican Party. On November 19, journalist Amanda Marco speculated in an article that it was Donald's MRI that spurred GOP House members to reverse their stance on the vote to force the release of the Epstein files. She wrote, quote, the White House continues to deny there are problems with Donald's health. But since they lie about everything, those words mean less than nothing. The public evidence that the 79 year old Donald is not doing well is hard for even the most die hard MAGA types to ignore, unquote. Recently, according to the Daily Beast, Donald accidentally boosted a post from an account literally called Impeach Donald for a third time. Included was Senator Mark Kelly's message reminding service members they can be constitutionally obligated to refuse legal orders. In other words, Donald promoted calls for him to be removed from office. It's another day proving the obvious. Donald cannot tell his allies from his enemies, his days from his knights, or his own propaganda from uncomfortable truths about his failures.
Main Narrator / Host
And I just also find it interesting that Donald Trump would say, you know, I'm so upset they're going after Clinton, Bill Clinton. And Donald Trump said that with respect to the files, only Bill Clinton is on like, it's Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and I'm not on the files at all. You're on the files 38,000 times. I saw this one meme over here that says Donald. It's true though, that Donald Trump. Donald Trump's name appears more in the Epstein files, that Harry Potter's name appears in all seven Harry Potter books. Here's what Donald Trump, though, says about him being on the Epstein files. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump (Interview Clips)
I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epson. And in fact, if you look at the DOJ, they announced, you know, they released 3 million pages. It's like this is all they're supposed to be doing. And frankly, the doj, I think, should just say we have other things to do because that whole thing has turned out, I mean, other than Bill Clinton and, you know, Bill Gates and lots of people that have. There are a lot of questions about it, but nothing on me.

This episode zeroes in on growing concerns about former President Donald Trump’s physical and cognitive health, sparked by a series of recent media appearances and interviews. The Meiselas brothers unpack Trump’s televised interviews, public statements, and erratic behaviors, analyzing his health with commentary from medical experts, former close advisers, and family members. They also discuss the potential implications of these issues for the Republican Party and U.S. democracy.
The brothers play and dissect clips from Trump’s recent NBC interview, where he boasts about taking “cognitive mind tests” (01:57–03:36).
Trump repeatedly emphasizes his health, stating:
“I've done three of them. No other president has agreed to do them. I do them because I have no problem with it because I'm 100%.”
— Donald Trump (02:27)
The hosts mock his terminology and self-diagnosis:
“They're not called cognitive mind tests. They are cognitive exams to determine mental decline.”
— Main Narrator/Host (02:32)
Trump’s reliance on habitual medication is highlighted, especially his pride in taking aspirin against medical advice:
“I've been taking aspirin for 30 years, and I don't want to change it...I want that blood to be nice and thin running through my heart.”
— Donald Trump (02:56)
Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb weighs in with a striking rebuke:
“Oh, he's not well...And Trump is worse...The things he says about Venezuela, his predecessors, Obama, you know, Biden. It's just insane, the things that he says...This is so far out of bounds, people have to deal with it.”
— Ty Cobb (06:29–07:38)
Cobb also raises national security concerns:
“We have allies...who will not share intelligence with us because of the war crimes that Trump has committed. They’re afraid that it goes from Trump to Putin.”
— Ty Cobb (07:41–08:10)
Trump’s increasingly unhinged reactions toward female journalists are dissected, with clips of him attacking CNN’s Kaitlan Collins (08:49–09:22):
“The worst reporter...I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile. I’ve known you for 10 years.”
— Donald Trump (08:59)
Commentary on sycophantic defenders who spin Trump’s sexism as humor and “perceptiveness” (10:02–10:44).
Dr. Vin Gupta offers an expert assessment, noting:
“He does have a family history, importantly, of age-related dementia...There’s a symmetry between some of these earlier signs...and what his father went through.”
— Dr. Vin Gupta (13:31–15:13)
Specific signs listed include:
Dr. Gupta expands on potential diagnoses:
“A lot of the symptoms that we just talked about are consistent with those diagnoses [Alzheimer’s, age-related cognitive decline, frontotemporal dementia]...It's getting worse.”
— Dr. Vin Gupta (15:18–15:55)
Trump’s nephew Fred Trump III and his niece Mary Trump both speak about the strong family history of dementia and their concerns about Donald’s noticeable decline:
“It runs in the family. I’m not happy about it because...I worry about it myself.”
— Fred Trump III (16:04–16:36)
“Concerns over Donald's physical and mental decline are mounting even among Republicans...he seems increasingly feeble and unable to focus...his days from his nights, or his own propaganda from uncomfortable truths.”
— Mary Trump (17:04–18:37)
“I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein...There are a lot of questions about it, but nothing on me.”
— Donald Trump (19:14–19:37)
On cognitive exams:
“I've aced every one of them because I drink milk. It's good for—and it shows.”
— Donald Trump, jokingly touting milk for brain health (05:38–05:54)
On dangerous decline:
“This is so far out of bounds, people have to deal with it.”
— Ty Cobb (07:38)
On family history:
“Every day, Donald seems increasingly feeble and unable to focus.” — Mary Trump (17:15)

Banter between the Meiselas brothers is ongoing, humorous, and irreverent but underpinned by a clear concern for democratic values and the seriousness of the former president’s health. The show incorporates medical expertise, insider perspective, and direct audio from Trump and his circle, combining incisive critique with plainspoken, often sarcastic, language.
This episode delivers a comprehensive exploration of Donald Trump’s declining mental and physical status, drawing on interviews, expert analysis, family history, and Trump’s own words. The brothers use their trademark mix of humor and directness to argue the stakes for Republicans, the presidency, and the country at large—inviting listeners to watch, judge, and remain vigilant about who seeks the highest office.
