Tim Walz Says Trump Must Release Medical Tests Amid Signs He's 'Fading'

Source: Huff Post

Nov 30, 2025, 01:07 PM EST | Updated 3 hours ago


Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) accused President Donald Trump of behaving erratically after a Thanksgiving rant where he raged at the Democrat and called him a slur.

During a Sunday morning appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” the 2024 vice presidential candidate suggested the president was “fading physically,” and his “mental capacity” should also be serious cause for concern.

In a late Thursday evening rant, the president called Walz “seriously retarded” while falsely accusing him of allowing “hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia” to invade his state.

Walz shot back by demanding Trump release the results of an October MRI, a request he doubled down on while speaking to newscaster Kristen Welker on Sunday. “Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, we ate, we played Yahtzee, we cheered for football or whatever,” he explained. “This guy is apparently in a room ranting about everything else. This is not normal behavior. It’s not healthy.”

A follow up was asked as to what they were scanning and he said "idk, I know it wasn't the brain cause I aced my cognitive test" ( not verbatim)

I'd say someone took that test for him. He is unhealthy mentally and physically. Well, but I think his cheese slipped off his cracker at an early age.

I’m often in a room WATCHING FOOTBALL ranting and ranting. Do I have a problem Governor?

Sunday evening levity.

Go IGGLES and whomever the Cowboys are playing, except the Chiefs. It’s so complicated.

It was announced only a few weeks ago that he needs double-hip surgery, so maybe the MRIs are checking his back, hips and legs? I don't know, but it would make sense that they're monitoring the bones, muscles and joints of his back. He clearly is having trouble with balance and walking straight.

His right side of his face is ALL WRONG AND DROOPY. His right leg is out there swinging in arcs like permanent jimmy leg. He has major right side effects. He has cognitive effect of a stroke. And he has major stamina issues too which can be a stroke effect.

He has had a stroke in his left brain hemisphere.

I have seen this stoke in a family member. He is lucky he still has right arm function.

... But if this is true, we'll never be told until after he has kicked the bucket.

Did anyone see the movie "The Madness of King George"?

Snoozing and I don’t remember seeing anything like that out of President Biden. I know he paused in his speaking because of his stutter but not napping like everyday like the orange turd.

And don’t get me started on his grade school insults that the orange menace says! Retarded, stupid, piggy…it reminds me of the 3rd and 4th graders I substitute teach that I have to remind them “how would you feel if someone said that to you”?

God bless Gov. Walz, for having the guts and integrity to state the obvious in public.

Trump's demise:

Happening within 1 month.
Within 1 to 3 months.
Within 3 to 6 months.

Where to place my bet?

Unfortunately yesterday, today or tomorrow aren't available bets.

Based on available evidence - the bruise on his hand common in dialysis patients, the bulge under his jacket (portable dialysis equipment) - I'd go for the 1 to 3 month choice.

Never wished bad things on other people before, but Wicked Witch Trump and his Flying Monkeys have brought me to this.

everything is painful and irreversible leading to a quick end. I hope he's conscious for every minute of misery. I hope he looks in the mirror 20 times a day and sees the decrepit, stinky old pervert that we see. I hope he feels the bitterness and hopeless feeling we Americans have felt since he took office in January.

I want my Country back. I used to feel pride in what was once an America to be proud of even with it's faults and mistakes throughout our history. Now, mostly shame. I had hoped to revisit Europe, but, not with this shame and stink of MAGA. I hope to raise my flag and hold my head high once again but my concern is the lingering effects of this nightmare. If there are no penalties to be paid, the effects will be lasting and will encourage continued poor behavior.
