Trump sparks health fears with rambling speech and ‘nasty’ black hand – ‘Seriously unwell’ | World | News

Donald Trump sparked major health fears on Monday as viewers raised concerns over his “rambling” speech and bruised hand. The moment came during a remembrance ceremony for “angel families”, relatives of people killed by undocumented migrants. 

The Presidents rambling White House speech veered wildly off course with Trump switching between talking about the Mayor of New York to a massive snow storm and then having a conversation with a woman in the audience who has bad eyes. Critics of the 79-year-old leader have claimed memory lapses, faltering language and increased anger are signs of dementia. His conduct in recent months has also fuelled rumours.

Trump was talking about “shoveling snow” when he then appeared to veer off couse and say “hello darling how are you to a member of the audience”.

He then proceeded to repeatedly ask a “friend” in the audience if they were ok. He said: “My friend right. Are you ok? Yes you, are you ok? Are you ok?”

The member of the audience replies to the president and then Trump asks if her eyes are ok. Trump then claims he “gave her a lot of money to get her eyes fixed”.

Derailing the even further he then launched into a detailed speech about paying for her medical care.

“That doctor ripped me off, but that’s okay!” Trump said, drawing laughter from the room.

The speech has caused X users to rush to the platform to address the presidents health.

One user claimed that “this event is totally off the rails”. In response to this tweet one user replied: “Could be a sign of dementia”.

Another zoomed in on Trump’s bruised and said that “it doesn’t get enough attention that there is clearly something seriously wrong with the president’s health and the White House is covering it up”.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the Republican blamed the heavy bruising on a high dose of aspirin he takes on the recommendation of doctors. He said: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart.”

The president has constantly and passionately denied any claims that he is in anything but tip-top shape, even releasing the results of a medical exam and MRI test, claiming he had “as good a result as they’ve ever seen.

After a New York Times article looked into his health, Trump posted a furious reply online: “After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean ‘THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

It did not take the president long to take a swipe at Europe, claiming the continent is becoming “unrecognisable” and “not heading in the right direction”.
