"He is deteriorating before our eyes": Rumors about Trump's health spiral out of control

British journalist Andrew Neil reported that a source close to President Trump described a decline in his physical and mental condition. Meanwhile, extreme assessments by an anonymous physical therapist about incontinence and serious diseases are circulating online without medical evidence. The White House publishes an official medical report stating Trump is in excellent health, but the gap between the reports fuels public suspicion.

British journalist Andrew Neil reported that a person close to US President Donald Trump described a decline in his physical and mental condition, quoting: "He is deteriorating before our eyes." The remarks were published against the backdrop of the war with Iran and reignited rumors about the health of the 80-year-old president. Separately, a physical therapist named Adam James, who is not Trump's doctor, claimed that the president suffers from incontinence, heart failure, and kidney disease, based on an anonymous source – without any medical documentation. In contrast, the White House published an official medical report from late May, in which his doctor Dr. Sean Barbella stated that Trump is in "excellent health" and fit for duty. The report notes a weight gain to 108 kg, mild leg swelling, and bruises on his hands due to handshakes and aspirin. Congressman Jamie Raskin demanded a comprehensive neurological examination and full disclosure. Former associate Anthony Scaramucci dismissed claims of dementia but noted behavioral issues. The gap between the anonymous reports and the official report leaves the truth about Trump's condition unclear.
