Trump sparks major health fears with slurring speech - 'Seriously unwell'

Recently, concerns about President Donald Trump’s health have been circulating on social media after his speech at the White House. He was being honored by the Washington Coal Club with their “Undisputed Champion of Coal” title for his efforts to roll back federal greenhouse gas regulations.

During his speech, Trump repeatedly emphasized “beautiful, clean coal” and stumbled while trying to say “undisputed.” At one point, he asked, “just when did this come out, Mr. Speaker?” which drew attention online. Many people commented on social media, expressing worry about his health and noting that parts of his speech were confusing or rambling. Some joked about “clean coal,” comparing it to “clean mud,” while others wondered about the president’s clarity and cognitive function.

Observers have pointed out that recent public appearances, including his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, have sometimes been difficult to follow. During that event, he even confused Greenland with Iceland. There have also been instances where he appeared unsteady or seemed to doze off briefly.

Mary Trump, the president’s niece and a clinical psychologist, told CNN that she believes he may have “undiagnosed, untreated psychiatric disorders for many years.” She added that his age may contribute to “some cognitive issues,” citing his difficulty staying on topic and occasional confusion about his surroundings.

In addition, the president recently explained a bruise on his hand, seen at several events, by saying it was caused by a minor bump and a pill he takes. Health experts note that as people age, skin becomes thinner and more prone to bruising, and medications like aspirin can make minor bumps more noticeable. Pharmacist Thorrun Govind explained that “repeated or unexplained bruising should be checked,” but minor bruising can be common in older adults, especially on the hands and arms.

Overall, these observations have prompted discussion online about the president’s health and cognitive function, while experts remind the public that some age-related changes can be normal but should be monitored if concerning.
