President Trump says he did not notice cognitive decline in President Joe Biden during their November 2024 meeting, when they met in person at the White House shortly after the election. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Trump said that when he was asked whether he could detect any cognitive decline, his response was “No, not really.” He said Biden appeared “the same guy” he had been watching for a long time. The comments address Trump’s ability to observe changes in Biden’s condition during the transfer-of-power period. Both outlets report that Trump framed his assessment as based on what he saw during that meeting and did not claim to have identified specific indicators of cognitive decline. The reports focus on Trump’s statement rather than presenting independent medical or observational evidence regarding Biden’s cognitive health.
