Trump HEALTH COLLAPSES Rapidly IN FRONT OF WORLD!!!
Donald Trump's health is completely. collapsing. His cognitive physical. health collapsing before our eyes. The. White House panicking saying, "What we. are seeing is not actually happening.". The White House posted, "His eyes are. literally open in the clip you posted, you dumb-ass mouth breathers." And it. was the headquarters doing a post that. The Midas Touch had been pushing out. there on social media showing Donald. Trump clearly falling asleep during. multiple Oval Office press conferences.
this week. Donald Trump holding. interviews where his eyes look. completely swollen, his hands look. swollen, his ankles look swollen. There. were all the red flags, of course, with. Donald Trump not surfacing for about. eight days after that so-called physical. at Walter Reed where there were more CT. scans. Unclear were there many strokes. taking place. Many people have. speculated based on the droopy face, his.
inability to walk downstairs, his. inability to complete sentences, the way. his hand just looks absolutely. unwell, we'll just say. The blotches of. makeup all over, I mean, zoom in over. here. I mean, utterly deranged stuff. And you know, you think about it. Donald. Trump gave this interview with the New. York Post trying to defend. the indefensible. All the fact that he. keeps on getting physicals over and over. again. Here's what he told Miranda. Devine over at New York Post who almost.
looked like she was looking at him like. he was in hospice care, the way she was. having a conversation with him. Here, watch for yourself and tell me what you. think. Here, play this clip. >> No, people. >> had your health thing and you're you're. 14 years younger. cardiac health and cognitive health. >> Yeah, they said I'm very healthy. I just. I do physicals because I just want I. think I have an obligation to do it. But. I just came out with very good results. and I took a test, a cognitive test and.
I got 100% on it. I got I as the. expression goes, I aced it. And the doctors told me it's very, very. few people can ace that. It's actually a. tough test. You know, once you get past. the first half of the question. >> Yeah. >> those questions get difficult. >> memory? What what is it that you've got. a good memory? >> a great memory. I have a good Look, so. far, so good. Yeah. I hope I'm going to. keep it that way. >> And then he told those farmers in. Wisconsin that they have a much nicer. than him because their ear wasn't. pierced the way his ear was pierced.
Your ear wasn't pierced. What are you. talking about? They keep going on. claiming he was shot in the face by an. AR-15 bullet. You had a little bandage. on your ear and you never released your. medical records. Here, let's just play. this clip. >> or a small business. Now, I saw. myself. You have a way of life that. sometimes you're land rich and cash. poor. Sometimes you're lots of different. conditions, but. people that are on farms love being on.
farms. You wouldn't trade my life. You. wouldn't want my life. Believe me, you. don't want it. Your life is much better. than my life. And I will tell you, your. ear wasn't little pierced over here. You. didn't get pierced. You have a nice, safe, beautiful life, but I've seen. >> And then Donald Trump failed a real-life. cognitive exam before farmers in. Wisconsin by struggling to remember the. name of the Washington Monument. Here, play this clip. >> Look at that. I mean, look at that. It just opened yesterday. Just We just. opened it. So, that was going to take.
four years, 400 million. It took really about a. month. Okay. It was going to Can you imagine. Washington between Lincoln Think of. Washington, D.C. between. the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington. I think Just think about this. You know. that beautiful spire. in honor of the great George Washington. and the beautiful Lincoln Memorial. So, between there, thousands of feet long,
it was built in 1922, and to be honest, it never really worked. It leaked like a. sieve cuz it was stone and concrete. >> And you have the governor of New York, Governor Hochul, talking about Donald. Trump falling asleep, and you see him. clearly falling asleep there. You have. Governor Newsom of California talking. about Donald Trump constantly falling. asleep. I mean, it's indefensible what. we see right there, and they don't they. refuse to acknowledge it. I need to. bring in an expert right now who can. really break this down for us. I want to.
bring in a world-renowned. physician, Dr. Vin Gupta. He leads Midas. Midas Health, and I want to ask Dr. Gupta about all of the red flags. regarding Donald Trump's health collapse. before our eyes. Let's get the Midas. Health lead doctor, world-renowned. physician, Dr. Vin Gupta to help break. it down. Now, I want to bring in Dr. Vin. Gupta who leads Midas Health. Dr. Gupta, great to see you. You know, we've been. seeing Donald Trump's behavior this.
week, his physical condition, his. cognitive condition, the fact that he. was away from public appearances for. about 8 days before kind of re-emerging. with that. interesting physical that was taking. place at Walter Reed earlier, and then. we got the readout of I don't want to. call it a medical report cuz that. thing's not what a typical medical the. we'll call it a narrative that feel felt. a lot like a like a fantasy narrative.
than a reality, but I'm not an expert. here, so I I want to get your general. view of what you've observed with Trump. this week, whether it was the sleeping, the physical condition, the New York. Post interview with the swollen legs, the the swollen eyes now. It looks. underneath the eyes look very puffy. The. hands, of course. What what do you make. of it all, doc? >> Well, Ben, you know, I I think you and I. have been on the leading edge of this. many, many months ago before everybody.
was talking about it. And so, I just. want to say that I I don't think we were. overly speculating and I thought we've. been cautious from the start, but it's I. I also think we've been proven right. that there's. serious questions here that have not. been answered in a serious way by his. own physicians. And his so, number one, I would say I'll make three points. One, the medical documentation. was released on a Friday night. They. They reference his physicians who I've. repeatedly, and I think other many of my.
peers have repeatedly. uh. raised questions about their. professionalism, just how they speak. and how they write. They're not. They don't write in a medically. impassive, impartial way. They They. editorialize and and they're very. flamboyant in how they communicate. And. it seems like they're trying to get. across a political point versus just. simple medical documentation. As proof of that, they talk about AI. cardiac age. Listen, we're all bullish.
to some degree in medicine on the. promise of new technologies to improve. patient care. But to be citing that in a. physical exam for president is ludicrous. because none of that has been proven out. as being completely accurate. So, to. cite these things as part of a physical. exam uh. shows that there's an amateurism here at. play. One, two, they don't talk at all. about uh. real neuropsychiatric evaluation of his. executive functioning. They talk about. his MOCA test. He keeps talking about.
this Montreal cognitive assessment tool, which either he is misinterpreting or. his team is misinterpreting. I suspect. it's him. This is not something and. again, you and I have been having this. conversation for over a year now. You do. not get this test. uh with this type of frequency. It. doesn't make any sense. It's a scrappy, crude screening tool to assess cognitive. function. It barely screens for uh uh. early signs of dementia. It is not a.
great screening tool to understand. whether or not or an assessment tool to. understand whether or not you have the. executive functioning capabilities to be. the president of the United States. He. keeps doing it because I think he. understands at minimum that it's an easy. test to pass and therefore it's some. sort of flex that he's okay. It's It's. not answering the questions that serious. people have about his clear decline in. his mental status. Number three, I would just say that, you. know, we talk a lot about him being.
sleepy in these Oval Office meetings, whether he has a health care executive. or whether he has the Department of. Interior behind uh his seat uh behind. the Resolute Desk. He was just sleeping, very clearly falling asleep for periods. of time. Even if the White House wants. to deny it, it's obvious. I'll say this. as a pulmonologist, I worry. I mean, we we we need to. understand why is somebody so sleepy for. multiple periods of time throughout the. daytime hours. That's not normal. That.
is not a normal "Oh, they're just 80. years old. That's okay to fall asleep in. the middle of the day." No, usually. there's an explanation for that. And so, what is the explanation? They like to. parry it away that he's, you know, the. chief executive of. uh uh of the country and therefore that. explains that away. I'm not so sure that does. You know, his. his working hours are pretty limited. based on the way his White House. schedule that's reported out. He is. falling asleep in front of the camera. repeatedly and I worry about does he.
have a sleep disorder? Does he have. sleep apnea? You know, he's clearly. overweight if not obese, even though. though they like to fudge his vital. signs. uh and his overall biometrics. I do. worry, does he does he have sleep apnea? And they're just not either testing for. it or they're not. being completely transparent about his. health care. Uh so, whether it's just how they talk. about his health, whether it's the fact. that uh they're not talking about the. right type of testing when it comes to. his neurologic cognitive functioning, or.
whether there's just the complete. absence, Ben, of explanation for why he. is so sleepy. during multiple periods of time. throughout the day, there's clearly a. lack of transparency here on the part of. his medical team. And I think we're. asking appropriate questions, and we. continue to ask these questions because. the people and the public deserve. answers. >> You know, from a legal perspective, when. I try to break down. okay, what's happening in Bondy's. interview,
and I use my litigation past to say, "Look what they're hiding over here, and. this is not the language that's used of. transparency, and here's why." And I. would go through Bondy's deposition, and. I would say, "If you really wanted to. get out the truth, this is what would be. included. Here's what was omitted. And, you know, here we are in a medical. realm, and you look at that document.
that we can't even call a medical. report. It is a narrative, and we see, and you point out, there are gaps. There. are things that are being said there. from a medical professional that raise. red flags and raise these questions, things that you've seen in a narrative. there that no doctor who is. respectable would put in any report. ever. And so, you go, 'Looks like you're. putting this out there just to BS us.'. Now, why would you be doing that?
And then you put in all these other. factors. And I know you and I speak a. lot about that. So, talk to us just a. little bit about what. what would resolve all of it? Like like. if we wanted to know the answers, there's a way to know the answers. We. would get certain types of tests. There. would be things that would happen and we. would go, "Got it. That's how we would. know that they're hiding." What would. normally happen in a situation like this. if this was a credible process? >> Sure. I mean, you know, I think at this. point I would say let's say for example.
the fact that. Ben, they they like to talk about. the fact that the president has bruising. on the on both of his the backs of his. hands uh because he's on high-dose. aspirin, because he wants to be on. high-dose aspirin, and because he's. shaking hands with a lot of people. You know, that would you might say that. that passes the test of credibility if. it was on one hand, his dominant hand, where he was shaking hands with a lot of. people and he was on high-dose aspirin. Okay, fine. Maybe Maybe I would buy that.
as a secondary complication of being on. high-dose aspirin. Usually, somebody on. high-dose aspirin would have perhaps. stomach bleeding, bleeding of the. stomach lining. Perhaps you would see. some evidence of that in lab workup or. on just subjective review of their. symptoms, how they live their. day-to-day. None of that is obviously coming through. in his physical exam. But the fact that. they're even saying that, and I mean, Ben, they're putting that in the. physical exam that they think he has. bilateral bruising of the back of his.
hands because he shakes a lot of. people's hands and it's a secondary. complication of being on high-dose. aspirin. They're putting the explanation. and they're editorializing in the. physical exam part. That's not That's. not normal. You don't do that. You don't. put AI cardiac age to justify somebody. being 14 years younger than their. chronologic age in the physical exam. That's editorializing. That's That's. providing your own opinion in something. that should be an objective statement. based on what you're saying during your. examination. So,
number one in terms of what we should be. seeing in this case is what is a normal. physical exam of the president and. what's a normal readout here without the. editorialization. We cannot trust. anything in my view that this medical. team puts out because when they put it. out on a Friday night, 3 days after he. actually got the exam. Why the delay? Why a Friday night? They didn't want to. bring attention to it. Fine. Uh. that's obvious. Friday night hoping. that's going to escape scrutiny. Uh two, why the editorialization? Three,
why didn't they know going back to our. initial discussion on this back, you. know, many, many months ago that he got. a evidently a CT instead of an MRI of. his torso. He had to be his own docs had. to be corrected then by the by the. patient himself, the president in this. case. That makes no sense. It makes me wonder. if the president actually even trusts. his doctors. to put out a statement that won't cause. more questions than reassurance, hence. the Friday night report. I wonder how.
much trust he actually has in this. medical team not to actually create more. of a worsening confusing situation. Uh so, part of this is just the the. communicator, the messenger in this. case, his own team. I think they're. they're they're creating more trouble. for themselves and for the president uh. than they realize. Two, just release the actual reports at this. point. This. you know, it's not hard to release the. actual facsimile of. the labs. Just release the labs. Release.
the actual reports of the imaging. studies that they they supposedly got or. did not get. And let us, the the peanut. gallery in their view, make our own judgment here. You know, they have the ability to just release. the reports. Just release them. Some presidents. choose not to, some presidents choose to. release everything. Why not just release it at this point if. there's nothing to hide in their view? And the fact that they continue to. filter out, curate these medical notes. on Friday night, then.
uh with all this editorialization and AI. cardiac age, which no credible physician. would ever put in a physical exam, much. less bilateral bruising from handshaking. plus high-dose aspirin. You know, these. are signals that he doesn't have a team. that is serious about their profession. anymore. They're serious about. maintaining their job, if you ask me. But this is also symptomatic of the. broader set of {quote} doctors around. him. at the FDA. FDA commissioner that was. has since been fired, Marty Makary.
Somebody I had a lot of respect for as a. clinician back in the day, but uh saw the uh. a path that was not favorable, went on. Fox News during the pandemic, spread a. lot of falsehoods, became the FDA. commissioner, no surprise, got fired cuz. he played a game that he shouldn't have, betrayed his own profession. Look at. Mehmet Oz, classic sort of archetype of. uh spreading snake oil uh for the. pursuit of power. You know, he's not going to be acquitted. uh well in the in in the courts of the.
Hippocratic oath at least. Uh his. surgeon general nominee, third in line, uh Ben her claim to fame is having a. supplement line. And you know, it seems. like you have to be profiting off the. profession of medicine to be the surgeon. general. surgeon general nominee. And so it's all. to say none of the docs around this. president are credible. Certainly his own medical physicians. have have lost all credibility, if you. ask me. And I would last I would just. say, you know, why don't There's all. these questions about his sleepiness?
I say this as a pulmonologist, why not. just release the report of his sleep. study? He is clearly overweight. Get a sleep study, if they haven't. already, get one, and release the report. of that. And at the curated filtered. version of whatever they describe that. sleep study to be, which you know, very. few people actually trust at this point. I don't know if they're going to do. that, but if you're asking me what they. should do, that's what they should do, but they're not going to do it clearly. because past is prologue.
>> And doc, finally, want to switch gears, but not. too much because we are talking about. medical assessments of of people and the. types of assessments that can be made or. not be made. What I find interesting um. and very uh disturbing actually are some. of these changes to Medicaid coming in. 2027 pushed by Trump and MAGA. And there. are these Medicaid work requirements. that starting in 2027, it seems like. every 6 months.
a doctor is going to. not have to make a a medical you know, medical diagnoses, go beyond that, and. make a adjudication. of whether as a result of certain. medical conditions. a individual is capable of of working. And so now the physician becomes a. judge. Um and as opposed to what the. physician should be doing, doing the. tests, putting the labs, getting all the.
accurate information, how can I treat. you, but now becoming a. basically a de facto work judge to make. decisions. for Medicaid and to say you can or can't. work. And with all of the Trump regime. saying we're if if we think that you. made the wrong call, we're going to prosecute you for fraud, and you as the doctor may now go to.
prison. That may make doctors just say, I'd. rather just say you can work because if. I say you can't work, and then the Trump. regime says I'm engaged in fraud, I can. now go to I can go to prison, you know, for that. It it it seems to have how do. you see this issue? >> That was beautifully described, Ben, and. it's completely accurate. This is the concern. Uh you know, for our audience out there, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid. Services just released a an updated rule.
stating that they expect people on. Medicaid, when given this issue of work. requirements that you have now every 6. months, supposedly, starting very soon, early 2027, if you're on Medicaid, you're going to. have to demonstrate, you're going to. have to submit paperwork every 6 months. to your state Medicaid agency. stating that uh. you're working a pre-specified period of. time. There's a variety of rules. I'd. encourage you to look it up if this. affects you or a loved one. What are those rules? And if you if you, for example, cannot.
meet those work requirements, if you. can't work because of a medical. condition, usually, Ben, the the. expectation, and I think this is very. sensible, is that people could. self-attest that they could not work. And I can tell you in many instances, I. care for very sick patients, those out. of the ICU, uh both in my uh reservist. capacity in the US Air Force, but and. also as a civilian intensive care unit. physician, I've seen a lot of people, Ben, that.
you know, for whatever reason, uh may. not be able to make it into a clinic. clinical visit with me, uh. but at baseline are not doing well. because they've been in the ICU for a. period of time and are just have a poor. functional status, or have terrible. emphysema, and just can't get around all that well. anymore, and don't need me to state the. obvious. But what are they now saying? They're basically saying that you can no. longer self-attest that you have a. work-limiting condition, medical.
condition, even if you've been able to. do so and your medical record justifies. it. No, you have to get a physician or. medical provider to sign off on. paperwork every 6 months. And what's the complication here is it's. exactly what you said. What physician. decided to go into the profession of. medicine to heal patients. to now suddenly be put into a position. where they have to adjudicate. who does and does not get health care. insurance. This is the moral injury that. they're introducing this administration.
is introducing into the profession of. medicine. As if they haven't already. made the lives of physicians harder by. reducing the number of people that have. access to health care by making the. lives of um pediatricians a lot harder. by making all uh. the rhetoric and dialogue on safety and. efficacy of vaccines far more. complicated than it needs to be. Now. they're basically saying for a very. vulnerable population, those on. Medicaid, you as a physician or a. medical provider will have to sign. paperwork documenting that a patient can.
or cannot work uh to justify their. access to needed medical care. One, it's. immoral that we as a society are even in. this place in the first place. We. shouldn't have to be in this place to. begin with. Everybody deserves health. care as a basic human right. But number. two, the notion that a physician went to. medical school or a nurse practitioner. went to nurse practitioner school or a. physician assistant went to physician. assistant school to engage in this to. understand, well, gosh, you have the.
capability to work a specific job and. therefore uh you are granted uh the. ability to have have access to Medicaid. Or no, you do not have the capability to. work a specific job. Therefore, we're. going to go exempt you from work. requirements and therefore you can. maintain your access to Medicaid. This. is not our job. We have 15 minutes then. in that clinical visit to actually do. direct patient care. What no provider. wants to be doing this. No patient is. driving in to see their provider in a. busy downtown clinic to have to engage.
in this conversation. So all they're. doing is they know what what's going to. happen. They know that people are not. going to be able to navigate this every. 6 months, the paperwork, the signatures. They already knew that in the first. place. Now, they're just making it even. harder. So, what's going to happen? Those that are on the fringes of medical. care, on the fringes of just basic good. quality of life from a healthcare. perspective, they're going to suffer. They're going. to suffer and they're they're just. basically guaranteeing that people are. going to fall off the rolls and that a. lot of people are necessarily going to.
suffer and likely die because of this. policy. This is moral injury. This is the. definition of moral injury. >> Dr. Vin Gupta, thank so much for your. time.
