Dr. Oz Gives Trump the Weirdest, Grossest Compliment Yet
Dr. Oz dismissed national concerns about Donald Trump’s health on Wednesday, saying the president is “as healthy as a bull.”
The administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services told the New York Post Podcast that “Trump’s success in longevity and good health is due to his incredible passion for what he does.”
Oz further claimed that Trump’s testosterone levels were “excellent,” recalling an instance in which Trump was on his daytime talk show and shared what the president claimed was a doctor’s note. “The only problem was his weight, which he still gives me a hard time about today,” Oz said.
But America is not convinced. Trump’s decision to drag the country into another people’s war in the Middle East, his extreme threats to wipe out Iranian civilization, and his recent public mistakes, including discoloration on his skin, repeatedly fall asleep during critical meetings, his inability to stay focused and his amnesia over the most basic details — have collectively alarmed the public about the 79-year-old’s mental health and his continued fitness to hold the nation’s highest office.
Last week, Trump forgot when Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg deceasedand that of his the GOP’s staunchest criticsNorth Carolina Republican Thom Tillis is still in the Senate. Trump also chose to go to a UFC tournament instead of overseeing his administration’s peace talks with Iran, and DoorDashed McDonalds to the Oval Office in a public relations stunt that even he retroactively admitted was “sticky.”
Even his own advisors anonymously admitted that Trump’s extreme mood swings derailed peace talks with Iran.

A group of MAGA thought leaders, including Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, have denounced Trump’s recent behavior regarding the Iran war. Trump’s response, which involved completely disavowing his political acolytes, drove a deeper wedge into his movement.
Liberal lawmakers, for their part, invoked the 25th amendmentformally challenging Trump’s mental acuity. Fifty House Democrats filed legislation create a commission that could remove Trump from power and install Vice President JD Vance to replace him.
Other Democrats have called for the president to undergo brain tests by the end of the month. Jamie Raskin, member of the House Judiciary Committee required that Trump take a cognitive test by April 25, citing Trump’s increasing aggression against Iran.
