Measles goes viral as world moves on from Trump The David Pakman Show - January 23, 2026 Jan 23 Already a website member? Watch the show commercial-free  here  | Want to become a member? Sign up  here Growing concern about Donald Trump’s cognitive decline is being met not with transparency but with frantic spin from his inner circle. Over-the-top praise from figures like Lara Trump, calling visibly rambling and confused performances “brilliant” and “dominant,” signals panic rather than confidence. The exaggeration asks people to ignore what they can plainly see and hear, and that kind of cult-style myth making only amplifies doubts instead of calming them. Trump’s interaction with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins exposes a deeper problem with his foreign policy rhetoric. Pressed on why he would invite Vladimir Putin to a peace board while also warning that Putin is a territorial threat, Trump never resolves the contradiction. He deflects, rambles, and reframes authoritarian leaders ...

A band-aid on a festering hand wound

A band-aid on a festering hand wound Something's up with Trump's health and we should really find out what it is. Aaron Rupar Dec 11 Band-aids are visible on Trump’s hand during his dozy Dec. 2 cabinet meeting. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty) PN is supported by paid subscribers. Become one   ⬇️ The Epstein files and illegal boat strikes aren’t the only coverups taking place right now in the White House. There’s also something clearly wrong with the president’s health that the administration is trying to conceal from the public. Going back   months now , the back of Trump’s right hand has often been visibly discolored and bandaged when he appears in public. He   works assiduously to conceal it  from cameras by covering it with his other hand. Nonetheless, Getty photographers have gotten in the habit of taking shots of the malady whenever they can, including during his  ugly hate rally  Tuesday evening in Pennsylvania.

How Sick Is He?

How Sick Is He? The physical and mental health of the president is a state secret Dan Rather and Team Steady Dec 9 Credit: Getty Images We need to have a serious conversation about Donald Trump’s health — what we know, and, more importantly, what we don’t know, which is a lot. Just how bad or good is it? We’ve tallied many indications of flagging vitality, just in his second term alone, and by any reasonable analysis he is not a picture of good health, to say the least. Ronald Reagan was 69 when he took office. In his second term, Trump was almost ten years older than Reagan. Now, for a normal 79½-year-old, he is doing just fine. He holds down a full-time job. Much of his life is lived in front of cameras. He manages to get up and down the long flight of stairs to Air Force One without help. But he is the President of the United States, arguably the most powerful and pressurized position in the world. A President of the United States has to be better than just fine. Trump’s mu...

My Message to Trump and Fox…

My Message to Trump and Fox… Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Dec 5 By Ben Meiselas You both started this week by attacking Meidas. It did not end well. Donald: You went on an unhinged rant posting MeidasTouch interviews and then demanding that the GOP abolish the filibuster because of our reporting. You got so worked up over our reporting you then made 400 posts in an hour that showed how utterly deranged you are. Rupert Murdoch and Fox: You spent hours of your programming this week attacking the reporting of Meidas Health, where Dr. Vin Gupta exposed Trump’s fake MRI doctor’s note and reported on Trump’s deteriorating physical and mental condition. Guess what? Now everyone is asking about Trump’s health and if he’s covering up Alzheimer’s like his dad had or some other degenerative cognitive condition. In both cases, where Trump and Rupert attacked Meidas, it backfired. More people are paying attention to Trump’s failures and his pathetic behavior. Trump has never loo...
