Donald Trump Declared in “Excellent Health” — But Critics Say There’s More to the Story

Former President Donald Trump recently received a clean bill of health from his doctors, with the White House medical team calling him “fit to serve.” But not everyone is convinced — especially longtime Republican strategist Rick Wilson, who claims Trump may be showing signs of serious mental decline.

As the 2024 election aftermath continues to ripple through political circles, Trump’s April 2025 health report has reignited debate about whether he’s truly up for another term.

What the Doctors Are Saying

Trump, now 78, underwent an extensive health evaluation involving 14 medical specialists. According to Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president exhibits “robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and general physical function,” adding that Trump’s “active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being.”

The screening included tests of motor skills, reflexes, sensory responses, and mental wellness markers such as anxiety and depression. Trump was reported to have lost around 25 pounds since his previous term, improved cholesterol levels, and no signs of concerning neurological impairment.

“He’s in excellent health,” Barbabella confirmed, noting only minor sun damage and scarring on Trump’s ear — a lasting reminder of the 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

But Behind the Scenes, Critics Aren’t Convinced

Despite these glowing reports, Rick Wilson — co-founder of The Lincoln Project — is urging Americans to look beyond official documents. In a Times Radio interview, Wilson didn’t mince words:

“He is incoherent,” Wilson said. “His inability to articulate any thought or position without constant asides, constant lapses, the verbal aphasias he is experiencing at various points.”

Wilson, a longtime Trump critic, insists the former president is no longer mentally sharp enough to serve another four-year term.
