Trump’s posture and blink have been criticized
Trump’s unusual way of standing has led to speculation of health problems.
The self-described “very stable genius” has repeatedly bragged about his ability to recall five consecutive words, citing a screening test commonly used for dementia patients, even while losing track of his surroundings on a regular basis. In a recent case, he crossed the curtain that was kept open for him after speaking at a rally.
In another, he seemed unsteady and tried to leave a White House event early after falling asleep during the event. Sometimes, he appears to wave towards a particular person.
Trump has often been recorded on television dozing off in the middle of White House meetings while staffers simply chatted around him. The White House has accused the media of selectively choosing moments where he blinks in a photo. One supporter tried to claim that his napping was a sign of intelligence.
His regular public snarks earned him the nickname “Teddy Does-Evelt” from comedians. Jimmy Kimmel.
‘I have some serious problems’
White House physicians have described Trump’s mental and physical health as ‘excellent’.
His unsteady and uncertain manner of walking, as well as his awkward stance during public appearances, have further fueled speculation that his mental and physical health may not be up to the “excellent” standards that the White House physician often claims.
Trump himself recently said “I have some very serious problems” without explaining what he meant, but later claimed it was a joke.
