Trump's Cognitive Decline: Why Isn't This the Biggest Story?

Trump's Cognitive Decline: Why Isn't This the Biggest Story?

Jim Acosta sits down with Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast to discuss a question that's not getting enough attention: Is Donald Trump showing signs of serious cognitive decline?

Wilson and Jong-Fast break down Trump's recent press conference performance, comparing it to the media's relentless coverage of Joe Biden's age and mental fitness. They ask the uncomfortable question: Will Trump make it through his full term?

The conversation reveals a stark double standard: where are Fox News's "Who's pulling the strings?" segments now? Why was Biden's every stumble breaking news, but Trump's rambling tangents and confused statements get a pass?

Wilson notes that Trump is actually six months older than Biden was when the age discourse dominated headlines, yet Trump's mental decline appears "much more marked" than Biden's ever was.

The discussion also covers:

Stephen Miller and Marco Rubio's growing influence in the administration

Trump's failed tariff policy and missing revenue

Encouraging signs for Democrats heading into the 2026 midterms

Cook Political Report moving 18 House races toward Democrats

Why the generic ballot is as favorable as it's been since 2018

With guests Rick Wilson (co-founder, The Lincoln Project) and Molly Jong-Fast (MSNBC contributor, author).
