Absence Sparks Rumors
Trump’s four-day absence from public view last week intensified speculation. Some claimed he might resign or was hospitalized. The rumors prompted Trump to respond over the weekend on Truth Social, calling the chatter “fake news” and insisting: “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.”
Medical Explanation
According to the White House, the bruising on Trump’s hands results from frequent handshakes, worsened by his daily aspirin regimen. Officials confirmed in July that the leg swelling stems from chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that affects blood flow from the legs to the heart.
Still Going Strong
Trump remains the oldest U.S. president in history. He will turn 83 by the end of his second term in 2029. Judging by his recent 42-post spree on Truth Social, he shows no signs of slowing down.
