All the telltale indicators Donald Trump’s well being is faltering as hypothesis mounts
Every time Donald Trump manages to complete a presidential task, it’s met with an expression of pity and mild annoyance. The sort of face you might pull as your sick, old family dog lumbers around the living room and rips a fart without realising.
Type ‘Donald Trump’ into Google and it’s very likely you’ll be met with an autosuggestion of his name followed by ‘health problems’ as one of the top recommendations. Probably just after ‘…Iran’ or ‘…Melania separate beds’.
The Orange Manbaby has exhibited traits many commentators have raised their eyebrows at over the last 16 months – whether that’s his infamous “word salad” speeches, his bruised hands or limping around the Oval Office.
Verbal incoherence
Whether he’s ranting on Truth Social (often at the expense of sleeping), or spewing from the pulpit during one of his rambling speeches – Trump’s control on language is slipping. And that’s usually a sign of a brain on the decline.
For example – he thinks he’s fighting “eight wars”. Just earlier this month, Trump waffled on to reporters about how, “I settled eight wars. And in every case the people, the prime ministers or presidents, wrote letters thanking me.”
Are the eight wars in the room with us now, Mr. Trump?
This particularly worrying clip did the rounds on social media and had viewers screaming: “The President has lost touch with reality.”
Experts have been picking out signs of his mental disorientation since 2024, when a speech where Trump was lambasting Joe Biden in March that year suddenly turned into a eulogy about actor Cary Grant.
“How good was Cary Grant?” Trump beamed to a confused audience.
It’s the changing of subjects halfway through sentences. It’s the arrogant delusions, it’s the vacancy behind the eyes. It’s like chatting to your drug-fuelled uncle at a BBQ – except it’s every day. Oh, and unlike Uncle Darren, Trump’s in charge of the most powerful country in the world.
This April 30 senior US doctors went on record to declare Trump “mentally unfit”. “It doesn’t take a psychiatrist to know that the US President has demonstrated erratic behaviour,” their spokesperson told the British Medical Journal.
Then there’s his social media output, which features a huge amount of memes and waffling sentences. Again – it’s the type of output you’d expect from a hippy who’s been to one-too-many Glastonburys, perhaps popped one-too-many acid tabs.
Essentially – it’s all just weird. We would definitely avoid Donald Trump at social functions.
Physical deterioration
Even for a bloke in his late 70s, Trump is still in bad nick. He’s got a limp on-par with Kevin Spacey’s ‘Verbal Kint’ in the Usual Suspects – and there’s been a great deal of speculation about his use of nappies due to incontinence.
Now, we’re not dieticians here at Daily Star. Who are we to claim that Trump stuffing his face every day with a Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, Fillet-O-Fish, a large chocolate milkshake and 12 diet cokes is having a negative affect on his health?
You are what you eat though, right?
In a clip from Charlie Kirk’s ‘funeral’ last September, Trump can be seen doddering onto stage to join the right-wing influencer’s widow, Erika. One of Trump’s dinner lady arms snakes around Erika’s waist as he greets her, while she goes to do the same.
The widow’s hand goes searching for its place on Trump’s back, only to momentarily jolt back when she stumbles upon the protruding outline of what many commentators have claimed was a nappy underneath his suit.
“Erika has grabbed Trump by the diaper,” said viewers underneath the now-viral moment.
That was a comical moment. The state of Trump’s hands and his swollen ankles… that’s a slightly more serious topic, if you’re going by the analysis of health professionals.
In almost every public appearance over the last year, Trump’s hands appear as if slathered in makeup to mask serious bruising. Doctors say this is a telltale sign the US president is receiving regular, undisclosed medical injections to keep him alive.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says it’s because he “shakes hands” so much.
Come on now. That would be a LOT of ‘shaking’ – I mean we’ve all heard the rumours Trump and Melania sleep in separate beds. But does that mean… he’s ‘shaking’ his hand too much? Come on now. Ahem.
At least his ear seems to have miraculously grown back.
