Top Doctor Drops Trump Health Bombshell | The Daily Beast Podcast

Sarah Ewall-Wice, political reporter for the Daily Beast, speaks with Joanna Coles as Dr. Jonathan Reiner challenges the White House about the growing questions surrounding Donald Trump’s health, from his visible bruising and swollen legs to his repeated episodes of falling asleep in public and the mystery surrounding his medical tests and treatment. They dig into the White House’s increasingly combative response to questions about the president’s condition, the unusual number of specialists involved in his latest physical, and what his erratic sleep schedule could reveal. Then, Sarah breaks down the bizarre decoy-plane operation that secretly whisked Trump away from NATO while leaving senior officials and reporters behind, raising fresh questions about security and who knew what. The conversation also turns to Trump’s increasingly difficult Iran war and the growing problems it creates for his administration, before Sarah reports from a battered National Mall where a botched renovation has become another symbol of government incompetence.
