President Donald Trump posted a long message on Truth Social after a Democrat doctor questioned his mental sharpness. He called the claims “treasonous” and defended his health in a nearly 500-word post. The president made it clear he was angry about the ongoing rumors regarding his age and fitness for office.
According to Express, the post came after Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat running for Senate, said Trump has been dealing with a “cognitive deficit” for over a year. Dr. El-Sayed pointed to a recent MRI scan Trump had and suggested the president seemed confused about why he needed it. Reports also surfaced that Trump appeared to fall asleep during a Cabinet meeting, adding fuel to the health concerns.
Dr. El-Sayed spoke on The Briefing With Jen Psaki and said, “If you have forgotten why you need an MRI, that itself suggests a certain cognitive deficit.” He added that this issue has been visible in Trump’s actions over the past year. The doctor also worried that weak leadership could harm citizens’ access to medical care.
Trump fired back with proof of perfect health scores
Trump quickly responded by bragging about his medical exams at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He said he goes “out of his way” to complete long and thorough checkups. According to Trump, top doctors gave him “PERFECT Marks” and said they had never seen such strong results before.
The president was especially proud of his cognitive test scores. He said he has taken the cognitive exam three times, something no other president has done. Trump claimed he “ACED all three” of them in front of many doctors and experts. This focus on mental fitness comes as the president continues making major policy decisions, including allowing Nvidia to sell restricted chips.
He wrote that few people could do well on the test, “including those working at The New York Times.” Trump made it clear he believes his test results prove there is nothing wrong with his mental fitness.
Beyond defending his health, Trump used the post to highlight his work ethic. He wrote, “There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best.”
He argued that his achievements prove he is fully capable of leading the country. Despite the health debate, Trump has stayed busy with his duties, even interrupting meetings to ask unusual questions.
Trump listed several accomplishments, including boosting the economy, ending multiple wars, and tightening border security. He claimed these successes have created an “aura” around the United States that makes every country respect America more than ever. For Trump, his policy wins are the ultimate proof that questions about his mental sharpness are completely wrong.
