Acosta Questions Trump’s Fitness as White House Points to Clean MRI and 100‑Minute Rally

On a podcast released Dec. 10, Jim Acosta said President Trump may not finish his term, calling him detached from reality and increasingly tired. Acosta argued Trump no longer holds rallies or regular press conferences, citing sparse public engagement as evidence of decline. Conservative outlets highlighted that the episode posted the same day Trump held a roughly 100‑minute rally in Pennsylvania to launch a national tour. The White House rebutted the criticism by noting an October MRI that reported Trump remains in excellent overall health, according to press secretary Karoline Leavitt. The New York Times previously reported reduced domestic travel and signs of fatigue, a characterization the White House disputed, as Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said Trump will campaign aggressively in 2026.
