Donald Trump's White House has come under renewed scrutiny over the president's health after journalist Jonathan Swan said on Wednesday that crucial details about Trump's medical condition were being 'very well concealed' even from some of his most senior aides, despite an unprecedented examination by 22 specialists at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland in May.
A string of public episodes and visible ailments raised questions about how robust the 80-year-old president really is, and how honestly the White House is describing it. For months, Trump has been filmed apparently nodding off during meetings and high‑stakes summits, walking with visibly swollen ankles and turning up with bruised hands and a persistent rash on his neck. He has repeatedly boasted about 'acing' a dementia screening test that he presents as proof of high intelligence, while his meandering, off‑topic tangents in interviews and speeches have become their own subplot to his second term.
