A physician who appeared on MS NOW Sunday morning pushed back on Donald Trump's early morning boast about acing a cognitive screening test, warning that the frequency with which Trump appears to be taking the exam raises questions rather than answering them — because the test is typically administered when doctors are already concerned about something.Dr. Vin Gupta was responding to Trump's 12:35 a.m. Truth Social post in which the president claimed to have scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, calling it an "approved high difficulty cognitive test" that no other president has taken and describing the result as evidence of "extreme intelligence."Gupta was not impressed. "This is a screening tool, at a very high level, for early signs of cognitive decline or dementia," he said. "It is not something that assesses the ability to do the world's hardest job under pressure — executive functioning. It is not that tool. It's not a neuropsychiatric test."He also questioned Trump's characterization of the exam as difficult. "I don't think a lot of people find it to be terribly difficult, as he describes it."But Gupta's sharpest point came when the anchor asked who typically initiates the test — the patient or the doctor."Traditionally, it is the latter," Gupta said. "It's something that if we're getting it frequently, say every four to six weeks, like it seems like they're doing, that is something that is used to surveil an underlying condition in typical scenarios. In this case, this is not a test you routinely would otherwise do with this type of frequency."Gupta also raised broader concerns about transparency surrounding Trump's physical, which was released late on a Friday night and included what he called "overly editorialized language" — including references to an AI tool assessing Trump's cardiac age and an explanation attributing bruising on both of Trump's hands to handshaking. "This is not professional medical language that you use to describe somebody's physical condition," he said.

President Donald Trump’s “pursuit of retribution” has led to the ousting of several GOP lawmakers he’d perceived as inefficiently loyal, but in doing so, may very well have doomed his future nominees for the remainder of his term, health care reporter Joseph Choi argued Sunday in an analysis published in The Hill.Earlier this month, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) was defeated in his GOP primary race by his Trump-backed challenger, Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA). Cassidy was among the few Republican lawmakers to vote to convict the president for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and would go on to call for Trump to drop out of the 2024 race.And, while Trump may have succeeded in helping oust Cassidy, the Louisiana Republican still maintains his position as chair of the influential Senate Health Committee, a position with the power to derail any of Trump's health agency nominees.“The next few months could determine whether [Cassidy’s] legacy is restraining the Trump administration’s more extreme elements or ultimately ushering them in,” Choi wrote.“In the coming months, Cassidy will play a major role in elevating the next round of federal health leaders, presiding over the nominations of former Deputy Surgeon General Erica Schwartz to be the next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Nicole Saphier to be next U.S. surgeon general and whomever the administration picks to replace former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary.”Cassidy ended up being the deciding vote in confirming Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom he was initially skeptical of but convinced to confirm after receiving assurances that the HHS would adhere to vaccine safety guidelines.Now, with “nothing to lose,” noted Joseph Antos, senior health policy fellow emeritus at the American Enterprise Institute, speaking with The Hill, Cassidy could prove a problem for Trump’s health nominees going forward.
