'Running Out of Options': Physical Therapist Claims Trump Has Kidney and Heart Disease

A physical therapist has claimed President Donald Trump is suffering from congestive heart failure and chronic kidney failure, allegations shared online after the 80-year-old attended the World Cup final in New Jersey on 19 July. The claims, which also allege urinary and bowel incontinence, have not been supported by medical records or an official diagnosis, and IBTimes UK cannot independently verify them.

The news came after Trump joined FIFA president Gianni Infantino on the pitch at the New York New Jersey Stadium, where Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time. He presented medals to players from both teams and appeared alongside Spain captain Rodri during the trophy ceremony, a moment that became an online talking point in its own right.
