Recent public appearances and absences by Donald Trump have sparked speculation about his health. Observers noted bruises on his hands and swollen ankles, leading to concerns about his well-being. However, Trump’s doctor provided an update stating that his cardiac age is significantly younger than his actual age.
Trump underwent a routine yearly checkup at the Walter Reed Medical Centre, where his doctor, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, confirmed his exceptional health across various aspects. Despite receiving a Covid-19 booster vaccine and flu shot, doubts linger among some about the President’s health.
Photographs of Trump’s hands with dark marks raised questions about potential health issues, with some speculating about intravenous treatment. The White House attributed the bruises to frequent handshaking and aspirin use. Concerns were also triggered by Trump’s appearance at a 9/11 event, where his face seemed lopsided, though no official health concerns were reported.
Trump’s swollen ankles, which overflow his shoes, were linked to chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition in older individuals. His absence during the Labour Day weekend fueled rumors about his health, with hashtags like #trumpisdead trending on social media. Trump later dismissed these speculations as fake news.
Furthermore, Trump’s mental acuity came into question after making false statements, including a claim about his late uncle’s connection to the Unabomber. These inaccuracies have added to the scrutiny of Trump’s overall well-being, raising concerns among the public.
