Donald Trump is 'genuinely unwell' but shows no clear signs of dementia, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has claimed in a pointed public intervention that has reignited debate over the president's health. Posting on X, Scaramucci said Trump, now 80, remained 'fairly vigorous' and warned critics not to underestimate him, even as he accused his boss of making statements so extreme they amounted to a 'war crime.'
Trump's condition, fuelled by clips of apparent lapses in memory, moments where he seemed to nod off in public and visible bruising and swelling spotted on his body. Those episodes, widely shared online, have been seized on by opponents who argue the Republican contender is in significant physical and cognitive decline. Allies, though, insist there is nothing abnormal about his behaviour or appearance for a man of his age and insist his health is 'perfect.'
