CNN’s Jake Tapper is at it again, aggressively peddling a baseless narrative that President Trump is somehow “unwell,” even bringing on a doctor to speculate from afar. This comes right after Tapper admitted the media “dropped the ball” on Biden’s obvious decline, using that failure as cover to target Trump now.
The hypocrisy is glaring—corporate media shielded Biden for years, ignoring his stumbles and absences, but now fabricates health concerns for Trump, who maintains a grueling schedule and aces every medical check.
Tapper hosted Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN medical analyst and former cardiologist for Dick Cheney, to dissect Trump’s recent behavior. Reiner had posted on X: “I’m seriously concerned about the health of the president and adding no one should be happy to see the president like this. He looks unwell.”
Intrepid presidential health reporter Jake Tapper has doctor on to claim that Trump’s speech performance is evidence that he’s unwell.

In the segment, Tapper pressed Reiner on Trump’s speech patterns, saying, “So you call his cadence manic and uncontrolled. And then earlier today. And this is not the first time this has happened. And the president appeared to be struggling to keep his eyes open during a public White House event in the Oval Office earlier today. We’re showing the video right now. I don’t know if that worries you. What’s your take on that? What is that?”
Reiner responded, “So he’s he’s done this several times now in the last few weeks. He’s fallen asleep in a crowded Oval Office and he’s also fallen asleep at cabinet meetings with people talking directly to him. And that’s what’s called increased daytime somnolence. And there are a lot of things that there are a lot of things that that can do that. Sometimes people with sleep apnea, people who wake up many times during the night and don’t get restorative sleep, have that. That’s treated typically with CPAP, with CPAP masks.”
He continued, “We’ve never been told the president has has sleep apnea. So but it’s jarring to see the president go from basically asleep in the Oval Office to, you know, really this rapid fire pace, you know, during basically a 30 minute speech that he gave in 18 minutes. It was. And again, what I said last night is no one should be happy to see that. Certainly his supporters shouldn’t have been happy to see him so so sort of loud and and almost out of control. And his detractors should not be happy to see him.”
This stunt follows a pattern of media desperation. Just last week, Trump blasted The New York Times for similar smears, calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” in a fiery Truth Social post. As we reported, Trump highlighted his perfect medical records and unmatched work ethic, declaring, “There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best.”
Earlier this month, Trump ranted against the “crazy lunatic” press for these very attacks, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealing his MRI results as “perfectly normal.” Trump mocked the media’s obsession, noting how they defended Biden’s frailty while questioning his own sharpness.
In what possible way does Trump come off as unwell? The man pulls 16-hour workdays, rallies crowds, and dominates every room he’s in. Recent clips show him on fire, cracking up audiences with sharp wit and energy that shames his critics.
Just last night Trump roasted the fake news for spreading bogus health rumors, stating “The rumor was I PASSED AWAY! I went 28 days [of public appearances] in a row. I took the kid to play GOLF…then I got a call. ‘You’re OK?!’ I said, I’ll be back in the Oval in 30. They said I passed away! THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK.”

Trump hit more zingers.
“I said the word TARIFF is my favorite word in the Dictionary! Then the fake news got me! Religion? God? Family? Wife? Your children? I said, they got me on this one! So now tariff is my FIFTH favorite word! Now I’m OK!”
? LMAO! President Trump is making everyone crack up every 5 seconds at this point ?

And slamming Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, noting “Hillary was a nasty – I was gonna use the B word. My wife would NOT be happy.” “Hooh, I would NOT want to go home to Hillary! She was NASTY!” “Hillary has a much higher IQ than Kamala. Probably 50 or 60 points higher. She’s NASTY.”
? TRUMP'S ON A ROLL RIGHT NOW ??

Trump’s stamina exposes the media’s lies—while they hid Biden’s decline, they can’t touch a president who’s sharper and stronger than ever.
Tapper’s fakery hits new lows. As we detailed back in May, he’s a complete hypocrite who once defended Hunter Biden as “the smartest man Joe knows,” only to later trash him as “sleazy and unethical” for book sales. Tapper dismissed the Hunter laptop story as “too disgusting” in 2020, calling it “wildly unhinged,” while knowing the truth.
This is the same guy who ignored Biden’s cognitive issues for years, only pivoting now that Trump’s back in charge. It’s pure grift—Tapper’s career is tanking as Americans see through the bias.
These smears won’t stick. Trump’s schedule and achievements speak for themselves, while the corporate media crumbles under its own hypocrisy.

Yet, Biden was completely healthy when he couldn’t complete his sentences or shit his pants in front of the Pope. Tapper was pushing he was fit as a fiddle. The only health issue Trump has is dodging bullets from a Trantifa nut job.
