Is Trump's Health a Secret?
Stroke Speculations
People have been discussing President Donald Trump's health for some time. Some speculate he might be hiding a serious condition. A doctor from Washington State University believes Trump had a stroke last summer, potentially affecting the left side of his brain, which controls the right side of the body.
Symptoms Noticed
- Movement Issues: Videos show Trump shuffling his feet and holding his right hand with his left.
- Speech Difficulties: Earlier this year, he struggled with clear speech but has since improved.
- Recent Observations: At a Mar-a-Lago event, he was seen dragging his left leg slightly before trying to conceal it.
Increased Public Napping
Trump has been caught napping more often in public. The doctor suggests this could be due to hypersomnolence, a condition causing excessive daytime sleepiness. The White House attributes this to Trump's demanding schedule and lack of sleep, but this doesn't fully explain the issue.
Social Media Theories
Social media has been rife with theories:
- Some believe Trump had a stroke during a May speech.
- Others think it occurred in September when his face appeared to droop.
Other Health Concerns
Trump has additional health issues, including:
- Swollen ankles
- Bruises on his hands, possibly from excessive aspirin use.
Age and Lifestyle Factors
At 78, Trump became the oldest U.S. president. He turned 79 over the summer. He admits he dislikes exercise, prefers fast food, and consumes diet soda regularly.
