Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, has suggested “there seem to be some indications that he has some cognitive issues”. In a chat with CNN, Mary, who is a clinical psychologist, addressed the swirling rumours about her uncle’s health.
She expressed her belief that Trump “has had undiagnosed, untreated, psychiatric disorders for many, many years”. She went on to say: “Given his advancing age, there seem to be some indications that he has some cognitive issues, hence all of the cognitive tests he’s taking, his behaviour, his inability to stay on topic.”
She further noted that “it seems that he’s not exactly aware of where he is”.
“Donald is a deeply insecure man. I refer to him often as a black hole of need. He’s constantly in search of things to fill that void. “Usually it’s money but sometimes it’s recognition, sometimes is power,” she added.
On the subject of the peace prize, Mary Trump didn’t mince words. She stated: “it doesn’t have to be more complicated than the fact that Barack Obama got one, and he can’t handle that”.
Earlier this week, the US President responded to a journalist’s question about a noticeable bruise on his hand during an event where he unveiled his Board of Peace for Gaza.
He explained that it was the result of a minor mishap, saying: “I’m very good. I clipped it on the table, so I put a little, what do they call it?, cream on it,” reports the Express.
The president then advised: “But I clipped it. I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don’t take aspirin if you don’t want to have a little bruising.
“I take the big aspirin. Now, when you take the big aspirin, they tell you you bruise.”
The White House confirmed the incident, stating: “At the Board of Peace event today in Davos, President Trump hit his hand in the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise.”
Pharmacist and health expert Thorrun Govind spoke to The Mirror about the issue, explaining: “Our skin becomes more fragile skin as we get older.
“In most cases it isn’t serious, but repeated or unexplained bruising should be checked.”
She added: “As we get older, the skin becomes thinner and loses some of the protective fat that cushions blood vessels underneath.
“Small blood vessels can break more easily. This means even a minor knock can lead to noticeable bruising, particularly on areas like the hands and arms.”
She also pointed out that “aspirin can make bruising more likely, because it slows the body’s ability to stop bleeding after minor knocks”.
