And so I'll read this piece quickly and then I'll toss it back to the guys.

But here's an example from this piece right here.

This is what Donald Trump said to this writer, Ben Terrace.

My father had one problem, Trump said.

He started getting, what do they call it?

He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press secretary for the word that escaped him.

Alzheimer's, Levitt said.

Like an Alzheimer's thing, Trump said.

Well, I don't have it.

Now, I'm just going to say it's probably not a great sign and doesn't speak to your mental faculties when you can't remember the name.

of the diagnosis that you yourself are being accused of having and that your father had when it has to do with memory loss and and and you know mental decline cognitive decline and all the like but that was really just the beginning um you know of the story as well but i found that line in particular uh guys you know very very revealing and especially the way that trump kind of volunteered you know felt the need to say that himself to this person who was prying about his health

Well, let's talk about how this piece opens by Ben Terrace.

This is how he describes it.

I don't want to give you my characterization.

Let me just read it.

This is from Ben Terrace about showing up at the Oval Office

to ask donald donald trump questions about his health when i arrived at the oval office in december to talk to donald trump about his health the president was standing next to a couple of men clutching pieces of paper labeled talking points these are two doctors trump told me before i could ask a question and by the way i don't know them they're not my best friends they're respected doctors that practice out of walter reed and they happen to be taking care of me for anything but i don't need any taking care of because i'm in perfect health

I do purposefully every year or less a physical because I think the American people should know that the president is healthy.

So you don't get a guy like the last one who was the worst thing that ever happened to older people.

Because I know people in their 90s that are 100%.
