BOMBSHELL report: Trump health DETERIORATING QUICKLY

Almost lost in the new year and the weekend of kidnapping. Nicholas Maduro was a bombshell report in the Wall Street Journal, not a liberal rag by any means about the rapid deterioration of Donald Trump's health. And by the way, he never had the MRI. What? Trump talked about the MRI three times.

Caroline Leavitt talked about the MRI three, four times, and he never had an MRI. I'm going to explain it all to you. This piece from the Wall Street Journal revealed that Donald Trump often ignores what his doctors tell him. He knows more, he says, and that basically genetics are going to determine how long and how healthy he's going to live. And to be honest,

there is a little bit of truth in that, like much of health is determined by genetics and then lifestyle kind of layers on top of that environment, layers on top of that. Trump is probably only alive because of that. I don't think Trump understands the degree to which genetics is saving him. An obese 79 year old who doesn't exercise and eats 2000 calorie meals, not a day, 2000 calorie meals of fast food probably would be dead already were it not for his genetics. But a few of the things we learned from this Wall Street Journal piece, Trump at one point, because of the

swollen ankles, did try wearing compression stockings. But I guess it wasn't working particularly well. So he abandoned that. The article mentions Trump struggles to stay awake. Trump did try wearing compression stockings, but I guess it wasn't working particularly well. So he abandoned that. The article mentions Trump struggles to stay awake, which I think is a generous way to describe it.

I would call it Trump regularly falling asleep in public and jerking awake sometimes. But they describe Trump struggles to stay awake. And Trump says that he doesn't fall asleep. Sometimes he just closes his eyes. We'll get back to that. Trump also said during this interview with The Wall Street Journal about his health,

that he doesn't have any hearing issue whatsoever, even though Trump is regularly asking for questions to be repeated, sometimes a second time, sometimes a third time. Here is just one example. This one, he needed Melania to come in and bail him out. He had no clue what he was being asked. Mr. President, I have two questions for you.

First, with after your phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky today, do you plan to speak with Russia's President Putin in the near future?

What if he was president? Here is Melania interpreting. I will be here. I will be. We're having a very. All right. So anyway, it seems obvious Trump is having a hearing issue. Not a huge deal. We can deal with that. He's almost 80, but he's got to go. No, my hearing is absolutely perfect.

Then we get to the incredible revelation. After months of talking about Donald Trump's MRI, what was it for? When was it done? What were the results? The White House weighing in on Trump's MRI. I've never had an MRI. All of this time, it was a CAT scan.

Trump is explaining it and the White House is explaining it. And they're releasing summaries, by the way, back when they released the results of the MRI. And I said, these are not results. This is like a paragraph summary from a doctor. We want the actual results.

The document from a radiologist. Had we gotten that, we would have immediately known it was a cat scan, not an MRI. Now the cat scan is faster. There are a number of different reasons you would do an MRI versus a cat scan. Depends what you're looking at. Depends why the cat scan does explain a couple of different reasons you would do an MRI versus a CAT scan. Depends what you're looking at. Depends why the CAT scan does explain a couple of things. The timeline for Trump's visit to Walter

Reed, where he had a full workup and an MRI and cognitive test and all this stuff. MRIs, typically, you know, you're talking 30 to 45 minutes in the machine. You got to get ready for it. It wasn't really adding up. The CAT scan is fast. So the CAT scan actually clarifies how was it that Trump did so much stuff, even though he was only at Walter Reed total for a couple of hours.

Now, CAT scans do subject you to radiation, whereas the MRI does not. That's one of the great things about an MRI. No radiation. And whenever you are deciding to do a CAT scan, you are weighing the information that you would get the seriousness of whatever you're looking at against the radiation. I'll give you an example.

Some of you know that high cholesterol runs in my family. And when I was I don't even know how old, 37 or something like that. I started kind of keeping a close tab on my LDL. We got to a point where my doctor, my cardiologist said, listen, we could do a cat scan, a cardi of what's it called? The calcium score, which is a cat scan to look at calcium calcification in the arteries. But it's a bunch of radiation. And the truth is, we're probably going to treat your LDL regardless.

And in someone your age, your cart calcium score could be zero because it's soft plaque rather than hard. But we'd still give you the statin. So I said, it doesn't sound like we should subject me to the radiation. And he said, I completely agree. You think about when you do a cat scan radiation versus information versus how would it direct

treatment. In my case, either way, I was going on the statin, so I didn't need it. Doctors determined we need to give Donald Trump a cat scan. The radiation is worth it for whatever we are looking at. Doctors said the CAT scan was done to definitively rule out cardiovascular issues and it revealed no abnormalities. It still doesn't tell us exactly what the scan was.

So no MRI all this time talking about an MRI that didn't exist. Third, Trump's skin is now so delicate that Pam Bondi, his attorney general, Nick was giving Trump a high five and she was wearing a ring that nicked Trump's hand and Trump's hand started bleeding. And it apparently caused concern around Trump. Wow.

Why? Why is he bleeding so easily? Fourth, Donald Trump is increasingly irritated and agitated by coverage of his health. And we have a conflict because there is reporting that Donald Trump is only working 12 to 5 now versus the White House claiming in The Wall Street Journal article that he's working all day, every day, day and night.

Trump's staff are also reportedly counseling him. You got to keep your eyes open during events. Trump claims he's never asleep during these events. He's just resting his eyes, listening. Staff, I guess, buying into that farce have said, well, maybe listen with your eyes open. Of course, we know that Trump is asleep, so it's a much harder thing to do. Trump denies that he's falling asleep at all.

He says it's relaxing to close his eyes to listen. And then finally, this is just wild. While flying to a campaign event, according to the report, Trump ate McDonald's fries, a quarter pounder, a Big Mac and a filet o fish. I went to the McDonald's website that is over eighteen hundred calories. OK, that's close to what most adults should be eating in an entire day. Trump ate it as one meal. He's having single fast food meals of over eighteen hundred calories.

Incredible stuff. And then buried in all of this aspirin. And then buried in all of this aspirin. Let's talk about that. and buried in all of this aspirin. I that going on.
