Overview
- After a Pennsylvania appearance Tuesday night, Trump posted on Truth Social that reporting on his health was “seditious” or “treasonous” and labeled the New York Times an “Enemy of the People.”
- He said he recently took a third cognitive exam and “aced” all three, and claimed Walter Reed physicians gave him “PERFECT Marks” on extensive medical exams.
- The physician to the president reported October MRI and advanced cardiovascular and abdominal imaging were “perfectly normal,” stating Trump remains in excellent overall health.
- The New York Times defended its reporting on shorter public days and signs of fatigue, saying Americans deserve rigorous scrutiny of leaders’ health and rejecting Trump’s language as false and inflammatory.
- Recent video and reports have shown Trump appearing to close his eyes or nod off during meetings, including a Cabinet roundtable this week on a farm-aid initiative.
