Following his “routine yearly checkup” at the Walter Reed Medical Centre in Bethesda, Maryland, Trump’s physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, said: “President Donald J. Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and physical performance.”
Alongside the check-up, Trump received a Covid-19 booster vaccination and his annual flu jab. However, despite this encouraging health update and the White House addressing the speculation, unusual incidents have left some people unconvinced about the President’s well-being.

Images of Trump’s hands have sparked the most significant health concerns during his presidency, with dark marks appearing and disappearing. The bruise-like marks have sometimes seemingly been covered with foundation makeup, prompting speculation he might be receiving intravenous treatment.
However, the White House has maintained that the bruising was caused by a combination of “frequent handshaking” and his use of aspirin. A letter from his doctor, Barbarella, previously explained: “This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.” (Mirror)
