Since taking office, President Donald Trump has consistently expressed that he is in good health.
However, on multiple occasions, left-leaning outlets have reported that Trump is suffering from a certain health condition.
This time, such a report came from the New York Times.
In an article by New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers and analyst Dylan Freeman, claims of Trump’s aging and the effect of his health are documented.
The article, titled “Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office,” appears to allege that the president is suffering from aging and is unable to keep up with the demands of public events and interviews, compared to his first term.
“Still, nearly a year into his second term, Americans see Mr. Trump less than they used to, according to a New York Times analysis of his schedule. Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, in 2017, although he is taking more foreign trips,” the article states.
“He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average,” it adds.
Rogers and Freeman pointed out that during an Oval Office meeting on Nov. 6 concerning weight-loss drugs, the president spent most of his time sitting as his officials did most of the talking.
“At one point, Mr. Trump’s eyelids drooped until his eyes were almost closed, and he appeared to doze on and off for several seconds,” the article states, before adding that Trump only stood up when a guest fainted next to him.
Trump reacted to the New York Times’ allegations about his health in a furious Truth Social post, specifically directing criticism at Rogers.
The president cited his administration’s accomplishments before noting that, despite all the victories, the Times is focused on a “hit-piece” against him.
“The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again,” he began.
“This cheap ‘RAG’ is truly an ‘ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE,’” Trump later said.
The president then lambasted Rogers, whom he accused of working solely to defame him.
“The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out. Despite all of this, I have my highest Poll Numbers, ever, and with record setting investment being made in America, they should only go up. There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (‘That was aced’) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now! GOD BLESS AMERICA & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” he said.
