Fox News isn’t just spinning these days.
It’s visibly cracking under the weight of defending Donald Trump’s rapidly deteriorating condition — and they’re doing it live, in front of millions.
On one side, you’ve got independent outlets like Midas Touch bringing on real doctors to ask real questions about Trump’s health, his strange MRIs, his slurred answers, and his bizarre behavior in cabinet meetings where he appears to nod off on camera.
On the other side? Fox News, acting like state TV for a fragile regime — inventing excuses so wild Kim Jong-un’s press office might blush.
It starts with Laura Ingraham, trying to spin away the viral clips of Trump seemingly falling asleep during a cabinet meeting and shutting his eyes for long stretches while Marco Rubio talks. Social media saw what it saw. But Fox? They try to turn it into a heroic quirk.
“Everybody’s going crazy because his eyes were closed for a few seconds,” Ingraham complains. Then she reaches for the most desperate comparison imaginable: Thomas Edison.
Her guest, Dr. Marc Siegel — Fox’s in-house Trump defender disguised as a physician — happily obliges. Trump’s not dozing off, Siegel suggests. He’s just like Edison taking “10-minute power naps.” Trump is a “beast,” a “machine,” they insist. Three or four hours of sleep. Eyes closed in meetings? Totally normal. Nothing to see here.
Except there is something to see.
Because while Fox is busy calling Trump Edison, actual doctors are calling the MRI story nonsense.
On Midas Touch, Dr. Vin Gupta calmly explains he’s consulted top radiologists across major academic hospitals. Their verdict: there is no such thing as routine “torso MRIs” as a standard executive screening test. You don’t just get a random MRI of your abdomen and heart for no reason. If you’re older, you might get targeted screenings, but not some vague “perfect MRI” story that never explains what they were looking for.
Trump can’t say what body part was scanned. His team only releases partial results. Fox fills in the gaps with pure fiction.
Siegel rants that it’s a “disgrace” people want proof Trump can pass a cognitive test. Then he accidentally says the quiet part out loud: Trump “passes one every day” just by walking in and out of press conferences.
Except Trump is the one constantly bragging about acing cognitive tests — like remembering five words in a row and repeating them. The obsession is weird. The explanation is weirder. And Fox is stuck trying to sell it like it’s normal.
Then things get even more surreal.
Laura Ingraham turns to the new FBI director, Kash Patel — a former right-wing podcaster now flying around on taxpayer-funded jets — and asks him about reports that he’s using the FBI plane for personal joyrides to pick up his girlfriend and go to wrestling events.
Instead of denying it, Patel basically shrugs and says yeah, he uses the jet and he’s “entitled” to a personal life and trips with his partner. Ingraham laughs it off. If a Democrat did this, Fox would stage a week-long meltdown. But for Trump’s FBI? It’s just another Tuesday.
On the Epstein files, Ingraham tees up a fake victory lap: why did it take so long to release the documents? Patel boasts about “40,000 pages” produced, then carefully adds they’re only releasing what’s “lawful” and “not prohibited by court orders.” Translation: they’ve already prepared the excuse for not releasing anything truly explosive. Promise transparency. Blame “the law” for every missing page.
Meanwhile, Fox hosts pump propaganda about affordability and inflation. Kayleigh McEnany claims Trump brought inflation “down to the 3% range” and paints him as the savior of consumer prices — while ignoring that prices remain 15–20% higher than a few years ago and that Trump’s trade wars and debt explosion helped create the mess in the first place.
When asked if Americans are getting impatient with affordability, Trump’s response is pure gaslighting: “Affordability is a hoax started by Democrats.”
People struggling with rent, food, gas, and medical bills hear that and know exactly who’s lying.
By the end, Fox’s coverage looks less like journalism and more like a live-action cult infomercial. They excuse Trump’s naps, normalize mystery MRIs, justify private jet perks, rewrite economic history, and even push xenophobic panic about “too many foreign-born people” eroding American culture.
They’re not reporting on Trump’s decline.
They’re covering it up — and cracking on air while they do it.
