Raised questions
Wilson warned that passing a cognitive test doesn’t mean the 78-year-old president is free from age-related problems.
Trump’s April 2025 health report eased some critics but raised more questions for people like Wilson.
Journalist Timothy L. O’Brien, on MSNBC, said Trump is haunted by the fear of cognitive decline, like his father experienced.
O’Brien added that Trump’s talk of a third term is driven by ego or self-preservation, but he doubts Trump will actually run again.
The shift
Trump’s April 2024 health report marked a change from his usual vague updates during past campaigns. While he promised a full medical disclosure, he mostly shared selective notes, like a 2023 letter calling him in “excellent” health without detailed tests.
His campaign defended this approach, highlighting his busy schedule and past cognitive screening from 2018, but no recent cognitive test results were made public. Supporters like Dr. Ronny Jackson vouched for his health, but critics argue the visible signs suggest otherwise.
