  • Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones criticised Donald Trump, claiming the president was in 'free fall' and needed 'intervention'.
  • Jones suggested Trump's health was declining, comparing his current state to his late grandfather's dementia and claiming his brain was 'not doing too hot'.
  • He also alleged that swelling around Trump's ankles indicated heart failure and described Trump's suggestion to attack Iran's water supplies as a 'war crime'.
  • Jones called on Republicans to acknowledge Trump's perceived decline, stating, 'We’re sorry he’s obviously had an aneurysm or something or a stroke'.
  • This criticism marks a significant shift, as Trump previously appeared on Jones's show in 2015, praising his reputation, and other right-wing podcasters like Joe Rogan and Andrew Schulz have also recently criticised Trump.
