Allies in the White House have allegedly claimed Trump’s health is falling apart in front of their eyes as the war with Iran has begun to effect the president’s cognitive abilities
Donald Trump’s allies believe he “deteriorating” in front of their eyes and fear his condition can “only get worse”, it is claimed. The US President, 80, is said to be showing signs of his age and “lashing out” at those close to him, White House sources have said.
It comes amid a growing fear that he has paid no attention to intelligence reports relating to his war with Iran. And some commentators believe the conflict is taking a toll on Trump’s health.
Veteran journalist Andrew Neil said: “’Donald is deteriorating before our very eyes,’ I was told in Washington this week by a close confidant who sees him regularly.”
Writing in the Daily Mail, he added: “His physical and mental health is in decline. Those around him don’t know what to do about it. It can only get worse. He’s 80 – and it’s showing’.
“But it’s not just age – or the decline in cognitive capabilities that can afflict those entering their ninth decade. Trump is lashing out at all and sundry in frustration at the lack of any good options now facing him.”
It comes after we reported physical therapist Adam James alleged Trump “consistently smells like urine” and is “not going to be around much longer”. The medical professional believes the US President has congestive heart failure and chronic kidney failure.
The expert claims Trump has congestive heart failure (CHF) – which means his ticker isn’t working effectively enough to clear fluid from the body – and chronic kidney failure.
To manage these conditions, James alleges Trump is likely on IV diuretics, which pull fluid from the body by forcing him to pee. Mr James said: “I have just received a DM from a source who confirmed for me that the President consistently smells like urine because of his urinary incontinence.
“This is on top of his bowel incontinence that he’s been famous for, for years. The source also states that the President is receiving daily IV medications. This explains why his hands bruise so frequently. Trump is consistently pictured with mystery bruises on his hands.”
James continued: “If he was going to have daily IV medications, it would must likely be IV diuretics to get the fluid off of his body. Daily IV diuretics probably along with fluids to stop him getting dehydrated.”
