Donald Trump‘s health has been a subject of concern since his second term began in January. The President of the United States has shown many signs that indicate that there might be something wrong with his cognitive health. His latest public appearance has furthered those concerns.
Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to expand his Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. In addition, his new order also plans on reinstating a fitness test for children, which was previously discontinued. At the ceremony, Vice President J.D. Vance accompanied him, while many sports stars also attended, showing their support with Trump’s order.
A shocking moment came at the end of the press conference, when the President appeared to take a turn. His body surprisingly jolted, maybe after hitting the podium or some sort of involuntary switch. Another instance from the same ceremony further sparked concerns. There was a moment when he was looking for Triple H, the WWE superstar who was in fact standing right beside him. He called him “an amazing athlete,: and said that the WWE star has been his friend for a long time. However, he quickly began scanning the room to find him, all while Triple H was standing right beside him. Bizarre right?
The status of Donald Trump’s health has been a hot topic for so long now. Even though the White House report for his annual examination showed that he is in “excellent” health, many people think otherwise. Some social media users firmly believe that his cognitive health is rapidly declining, while others feel that the media puts extra work into highlighting his “naturally awkward” moments.
Can any doctors explain what just happened with his body here?pic.twitter.com/wvbm9ysZiA

Following the recent incident, one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, “It’s not immediately obvious that Trump apparently ran into the podium. But he did seem to move weirdly. Maybe he hit his elbow aka funny bone? I still had to watch it a few times to figure out why he reacted like that.”
Another added, “Look, I’m the last person to stand up for Trump, but for the love of God…enough of the fake crap. You can clearly see he hit the podium.”
He didn’t know the podium was there?
More like this is a guy who’s had a stroke or a mini stroke & his foot or leg gave out.

A third wrote,”Stop with the misinformation and/or starting rumors. There is plenty enough to question and point at without fabrication.” There was also a moment where Trump seemingly stumbled over his words, further solidifying the rumor that there is something wrong with him.
