Cardiologist Dr. Jonathan Reiner expressed grave concerns about President Donald Trump's physical and mental health ahead of his third Walter Reed medical checkup in 13 months. In conversation with "CNN News Central" Reiner called for mandatory presidential health disclosures to Congress and the public, comparing the matter to fitness requirements for pilots and Secret Service agents. He demanded credible explanations for Trump's visible health issues, including bruising attributed to "vigorous handshaking"—which Reiner argued is an insufficient explanation — and severe ankle swelling diagnosed as chronic venous insufficiency, despite no edema appearing earlier in the year. Most concerning to Reiner is Trump's severe daytime drowsiness, or somnolence, including multiple instances of falling asleep in the Oval Office and potentially during the Arlington National Cemetery Memorial Day observances. Chronic insomnia increases dementia risk, decreases cognitive function, raises cardiac complications, and ages the brain by 3.5 years, Reiner explained. The prominent CNN medical analyst has become a leading voice questioning Trump's fitness for office.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

Steve Schmidt, former Republican operative, had a scathing response to the Trump administration and MAGA on Memorial Day.The co-founder of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project described "MAGA's ultimate disgrace" and called President Donald Trump and his White House "America's most despicable men and women."He reflected on Memorial Day, the ultimate sacrifice that Americans have made serving their country around the world — and warned that there were forces trying to infiltrate the military and dishonor its reputation."And it's not abstract and it's not history, not for the families of the Americans killed in action in Iran, not for the families whose loved ones are buried in section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery," Schmidt said."The grief never abates — 26 years of war and the United States has been transformed by it," Schmidt explained. "What it has produced is a soft tyranny, an autocratic man in freedom's chair who desecrates in word, and deed and action, with every breath, the sacrifice we honor and celebrate."Schmidt described Trump's attempts to change the military and MAGA's influence. "He is a contemptuous man and a contemptible one," Schmidt added. "He is a low down, no good man, a liar, a felon, an abuser of women and children, a man who dishonors and disgraces the American military and whose attempts to transform it into a personal pretorian guard are a national obscenity. The military does not belong to Trump, and it does not belong to MAGA. It belongs to the nation. And it is made up of the nation's sons and daughters. It is our most precious resource. It is our most fragile institution. And it is being broken in half by America's most despicable men and women. We should not tolerate it."
