CEOs described as Trump-like returned from the meeting concerned that the former president was meandering and unable to think straight.
CNBC said, “I will say I was surprised. I've talked to several CEOs who either came into the meeting looking like a Trump supporter or thought they were leaning in that direction and said they were incredibly meandering and couldn't keep their head straight. Through the map they may not have been surprising, but they were interesting to me. Because these were people who might have actually walked out of the room thinking they might have a thing for him. As one person said, if you don’t think this is necessarily the case, it may not be any different or better than what Biden thinks.”

The report came from CNBC, a much more conservative business network, not MSNBC, and the people commenting on Trump's mental state were CEOs who were neither Democrats nor liberals. The CEO must be in the Republican wheelhouse. As a group, they have generally supported Republican presidential candidates for decades, so it's a huge red flag for these people to walk away from a meeting with Trump out of concern about his cognitive abilities.
For nearly a decade, Donald Trump has refused to release his medical records. Voters don't know what health problems the former president is hiding. President Biden, by contrast, has made public decades of medical records and his entire last physical exam.
Whatever Trump has been hiding, his condition has become evident in his speeches, appearances and private events.
There are real questions about Trump's perceived fitness for the presidency, and voters deserve answers before they cast their ballots.
