Questions Raised Over Health of US President Donald Trump at Age 80
US President Donald Trump, at 80 the oldest to serve, is described by his physician as being in "excellent health" following a May evaluation. However, cardiologist Dr. Jonathan Reiner has raised questions about visible symptoms such as bruising on Trump's hands and leg swelling, suggesting the White House has not provided sufficient information for public assessment. While the White House attributes these signs to factors like aspirin use and chronic venous insufficiency, Reiner calls for more transparency, noting historical secrecy around presidential health.
