Former White House cardiologist Dr. Jonathan Reiner has renewed scrutiny over Donald Trump's health after claiming the US president appears unable to stay awake during the day, fuelling another round of online debate about the 79-year-old leader's fitness for office.
Reiner's remarks followed renewed viral clips of Trump appearing drowsy during recent public appearances, including Memorial Day commemorations at Arlington National Cemetery. While the White House has not publicly addressed the latest comments, the physician warned that chronic sleep problems and daytime somnolence can carry serious medical consequences, particularly in older adults.
