1:22Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump appears to have missed his annual physical or he is covering up his annual physical for 2026. Let me repeat that. Donald Trump is either covering up his 2026 physical or he appears to have missed it or he's delaying that physical. Let me explain and let me also demonstrate Donald Trump's behavior over the past 12 hours, which is raising deep concerns even among the most right-wing media, which is now labeling him utterly insane. You see, Donald Trump's last annual physical was April of 2025, and that's what began raising a lot of alarm bells when you actually read it and you saw some of his conditions, which his physician was trying to cover up.
2:17Ben Meiselas:Then you'll recall in October of 2025, Donald Trump claimed that he was getting another annual physical, but said actually it was his semi-annual physical and that he does them every six months. Okay, well, whether you do them every six months or whether you do them every year, here we are now, April of 2026. Remember that October physical where Trump talked about advanced imaging, which then Trump said was an MRI, and then he said he was wrong and it was a CT scan, but just of the abdomen, all the BS they were feeding us. So here we are, April 2026. This is when his annual physical is supposed to take place.
3:00Ben Meiselas:And under any normal circumstance, a White House would announce, here's the date when it's going to take place at Walter Reed. We will publish the results. This would normally be on the calendar well in advance, so we would all know. But notice that Donald Trump, who loves talking about all of his cognitive exams, is covering this up. And let's just talk about his behavior over the past 12 hours. As Tom Joseph explains, Trump is on his last legs, badly slurring, weak, insane, labored, beaten by Iran, carcass-like, carcass -like, rotting, physically deteriorating. I mean, just look at him. Look at what he is going through.
3:48Ben Meiselas:But we don't even have to listen to him. We could listen to what the Washington Examiner is saying. a right-wing paper, a very right-wing conservative paper. Here's the headline from the Washington Examiner. Donald Trump is losing his mind. And while right-wing papers and websites are saying this now, Donald Trump is missing his annual physical or semi-annual physical, whatever you're going to call it, that's now being hidden. Think about it. Or they're just not going to announce it and think we'll forget. We keep tabs at the Midas Touch Network. And again, I'm giving you my opinion. I'll be clear.
4:29Ben Meiselas:As protected by the First Amendment, you could disagree, but my opinion is based on the fact of when he gets his annual exams. Pretty basic math. Here's what the Washington Examiner writes, though. Here's their opinion. Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump. Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics threatening entire civilizations with annihilation and comparing himself to God what would be the reaction they go on to say a 79 year old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos his episodes are becoming more frequent his good days further apart.
5:17Ben Meiselas:What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum. He never had those, but any remaining sense of self-control. Everyone around him can see it. Yet whether from ambition, cowardice, or weary acceptance, they keep looking for ways to rationalize his behavior. The tragedy is no longer Trump's. It is now America's. He is insane. He has lost his mind. Now, going back to Tom Joseph for a moment, what he posted was, as I mentioned, I'm just showing you Trump conduct and behavior in the past 12 hours. So Donald Trump, after posting AI images of himself as Jesus and attacking the Pope, he then started making videos of himself yesterday, reading Bible verses where he could barely get through the sentences.
6:12Ben Meiselas:And he's slurring and he's reading these Bible verses and it is really odd. It is really strange. This is the video he made yesterday while he once again backed down to Iran in the face of ceasefire deadlines and then he blamed Iran. Here's the video of himself that he made. This is incredibly bizarre. Play this clip. There shall not fail you as a man to be ruler in Israel. But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you and shall go and serve other gods and worship them. Then will I pluck them up from the roots out of my land, which I have given them.
6:58And this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among nations. and this house which is high.
7:14Ben Meiselas:And then earlier in the day, he called up CNBC and he said that he would have won the Vietnam War very quickly if he was in charge of the country. Donald Trump, who dodged the draft five times, the Vietnam War, he calls into CNBC, a business network, to talk to them about how he would have won the war in Vietnam quicker? Are you kidding me? Here, play this clip. I would have won Vietnam very quickly. I would have, if I were president, I would have won Iraq in the same amount of time that we won because essentially we've won here, okay? I mean, people can play games. The Democrats can say, well, we should have done better no matter what.
8:01If I did it in one week, they should have said, they'd say we should have done better look at venice will i took it over in 45 minutes
8:08Ben Meiselas:and commentators across the country and across the world are seeing what's happening i mean in iran by the way they're saying the nobel peace prize goes to the 25th amendment but you take a look at i'll show you george lopez a 92.3 comedian george lopez says the following on trump let's play it if you had cognitant decline yeah and you worked at anywhere at barragons on on victory and they said hey there's about the right here that's laying out the silverware has cognitive decline i don't think you should be near the knives no that hello he'll be all right you wouldn't let a valet person be cognitive decline and be working so we have a guy that's the leader of the free world with cognitive decline, who is attacking the war just on his own.
9:01I mean, listen, I always think everybody's Mexican. So I think Trump, he's remodeling the house he don't own. He's starting shit with other countries. His son-in-law is over there, hired them. I mean, if you have a job where you can hire your family, you have a job. You don't have a career. Because they're not going to be like, who's this fool right here? I don't know. I just started working at America's Prince. I told you just to come. But, I mean, the idea that this guy could get away with so much and have it really kind of go uncalled on.
9:36Ben Meiselas:Or George Galloway, from George Lopez to George Galloway. That's a spectrum right there. Here's what George Galloway says. Play this clip. The truth is, Donald Trump is both in rapid cognitive decline, perhaps in dementia, at the same time as retaining some of the low cunning of the criminal real estate developer in New York City that was under the wing of Roy Cohn. And that combination is far more toxic than any alcoholic cop. or Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who I think has been spot on talking about Donald Trump's declining health and what Pritzker believes to be very serious dementia, in his opinion.
10:28Ben Meiselas:And I share that opinion. Here, play this clip. I mean, it's clear that he's not sure what he's saying from moment to moment, and then he'll promise something and then not deliver it. He'll say something, then he'll say something completely contrary to that. And I don't know anybody that acts like that, that doesn't have some kind of a problem and some kind of issue thinking things through. That is what I think. And I've been saying that for some time. I think he's got some dementia. And you want to talk about paranoia and dementia. Again, in my opinion, here's what Donald Trump was posting all night.
11:07Ben Meiselas:He was posting things like this. Wow, director of national intelligence says Democrats changed the standard for impeachment right before impeaching Trump. They changed it so evidence no longer had to be credible just to get Trump. Literally treason, literally treason. Or there's this email, and there it is, the damning email obtained by King Solomon through FOIA. In a stunning exchange, CIA director turns to fellow director John Brennan and asks if he would join in toppling the United States government during the November 3rd, 2020 election. Brennan not only agrees, but also expresses his gratitude.
11:49Ben Meiselas:It's like making this up, like this never happened. Like this is like truly deranged stuff. Or how about Donald Trump posting this? Wow. CIA plus 51 spies caught plotting a coup in 2020. Add your name, we're burying Hunter's laptop to save the vegetable Biden. This is treason with receipts. None of this is true. They're just making it up. And this is what he's posting. Or how about this? Trump has been preparing for this war with Iran for over 40 years. He's been preparing for it. Again, utterly deranged behavior right here, utterly delusional behavior right here. And then you've seen again just the way Donald Trump's been speaking and behaving or how about when Donald Trump said yesterday that he has spoken with this what he says he's like making up conversations and people are mocking him Donald Trump writes Iran doesn't want the straight of Hormuz closed they want it open so they can make 500 million dollars a day which is therefore what they are losing if it is closed they only say they want it closed because I have it totally blockaded so they merely want to save face.
13:03Ben Meiselas:People approached me for days ago saying, Sir, Iran wants it to be open. Iran wants the strait to be open immediately. But if we do that, there can never be a deal with Iran unless we blow up the rest of their country, their leaders included, Donald J. Trump. Who are you talking to? Who are you having these conversations with? And people are mocking him. They're like, they were large men with tears in their eyes. And they said, sir, sir, there will never be anyone as handsome as you. You're the most handsome. Obliterate them, Donald. Obliterate them. What the heck is going on? And I'll just leave you with this.
13:43Ben Meiselas:Midas Health President, Dr. Vin Gupta, the Midas Touch Network. Here's what he told me recently. Let's play it. What are you observing, Doc? Yeah, you know, Ben, from the very start i think number one uh he's the president of the united states so let's hope he's getting uh beyond the headlines the care that he needs he does have a family history importantly of age-related dementia his father you know famously this has been well documented fred trump uh had age-related cognitive decline and it manifested frankly and a lot 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.
14:29We'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.
14:58Ben Meiselas:There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. We'll keep you posted. We'll keep following when Donald Trump's appearance, when his appointment rather is at Walter Reed.
