In early 2025, Donald Trump’s health checked out well in a detailed physical and cognitive exam. The report praised his active lifestyle and essential bodily functions, giving no indication of health risks. Yet Republican insider Rick Wilson believes Trump is showing signs of mental decline during public appearances, despite the official reassurances.
Wilson, who has tracked Trump since 2015, points to increasing incoherence and lapses in speech that mirror early dementia symptoms. He questions whether the former president will finish another term. Journalist Timothy L. O’Brien also raises concerns about Trump’s motivation and fears tied to cognitive decay, arguing these factors cloud Trump’s political future.
These contrasting views fuel ongoing debates about Trump’s true fitness for office.
