Ex-White House doctor calls for 'medical evaluation' of Trump after disturbing new video

Ex-White House doctor calls for 'medical evaluation' of Trump after disturbing new video

A former White House doctor has told Donald Trump he desperately needs to seek medical attention after a Truth Social post.

Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who served as cardiologist to former Vice President Dick Cheney, took to X and urged Trump to receive an evaluation. Reiner wrote, "Earlier in the week the president threatened to kill an entire civilization. Now he posts a video of a woman being beaten to death.

"To put it mildly, that’s concerning behavior. If he was a member of your family you would urge him to see a doctor. He should have a medical evaluation.",,,,,

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, wrote on X, "DHS did the same earlier today. It was for exactly as vile a reason as you can imagine; basically Breitbart’s old 'black crime' vertical as official government policy. There hasn’t been an administration this openly racist since Wilson invited the KKK to the White House."

Reiner has criticized Trump in the past and commented on his mental strength several times, criticizing Trump for conflating the basic 10-minute dementia screening tool with evidence of exceptional intelligence. He previously urged the president's advisers to "beg him to stop bragging" about the test.

"In 2019, the journalist Michael Edison Hayden obtained more than 900 emails sent to Breitbart editors in 2015 and 2016 by Stephen Miller, who is now Trump’s main domestic policy adviser, urging them to focus on violent crimes committed by people of color and immigrants."

The entire Trump administration, from top to bottom, is full of sick fucks. The Republican party is full of sick fucks. Trump's MAGA supporters are all sick fucks.

DJT is a very dangerous swamp dweller.

They're rife with him describing violent acts, mostly against women, with utter glee. He gets off on people being brutalized, maimed, and murdered. It's just gotten worse now. Not that I disagree with anything the good doctor is saying...

He needs to be locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane. He is a clear danger to the entire world and that goes for those people that are enabling him. Not one member of his cabinet, or his MAGA congress or senate seem to give a rat's ass about their own children's future. Their silence speaks volumes and that makes them all as morally corrupt as he is

I can't conceive of how that will look and who will be able to take action. But he just won't last 3 more years.

Reagan at least had real professionals running the government for him, and took advice from time to time.

They will continue to ignore it. What will it take for them to act?!

Dr. John Gartner is a psychologist, former Johns Hopkins University Medical School professor,

He was interviewed by Joanna Coles after Trump threatened “a whole civilization will die tonight” ie Iran, last Sunday.

Gartner said he is a malignant narcissist who - gets off on the suffering of others. This is who he is! And he’s getting worse.

Ranking member of House Judiciary Cmte formally asks White House physician to conduct cognitive exam of Trump, citing truth social posts and Trump’s statements at Easter Egg Roll

“Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent
with dementia and cognitive decline. And, in recent days, the country has watched President
Trump’s public statements and outbursts turn increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane,
deranged, and threatening”

15. Raskin demands Trump cognitive test in 25th Amendment push

trump is clearly impaired.



https://www.axios.com/2026/04/10/raskin-demands-trump-cognitive-test-in-25th-amendment-push

House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) is demanding the White House physician perform a cognitive test on President Trump in light of his recent comments on Iran.....

Driving the news: In a letter to White House physician Sean Barbabella, Raskin insisted that he "conduct a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment of the President, including a formal cognitive screening instrument, and publicly release the results."

The Maryland Democrat said Trump's recent demand to "Open the Fuckin' Strait" and threat to kill Iran's "whole civilization" are "plainly out of the realm of normal politics."

"We have indisputably entered the realm of profound medical difficulty and concern," he wrote.

Zoom in: In addition to the cognitive exam, Raskin asked for a detailed report on Trump's physical and mental health, including a list of "any medications he is currently taking and their potential cognitive side effects."

He also asked that Barbabella make himself "available for a briefing, under oath, with Members of the Committee on the results of this assessment."


State of play: The letter was sent just before a briefing Raskin is set to give to fellow House Democrats on the 25th Amendment.

He has been making the case that lawmakers are empowered to take action, pointing to language in the amendment that allows "such other body as Congress may by law provide" to declare Trump unfit for office.

Even Ivanka couldn't get him to go to a real doctor.

He would never let a real doctor give him a real exam.

He would never accept a real diagnosis.
