Donald Trump privately raged at aides over media coverage of his swollen ankles and even urged his press secretary to address the 'cankles' issue from the White House podium, according to a new book detailing the 80-year-old president's health troubles during his second term in Washington.
Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan sets out a catalogue of age-related concerns that those around Trump allegedly witnessed up close. The book follows months of public scrutiny of the president's physical and cognitive condition, from his habit of nodding off in meetings to visible bruising on his hands and a rash on his neck, and attempts to piece together what was happening behind closed doors.
