Trump Is Reportedly In Worse Health Than Secretive White House Will Admit

Trump has been much less mobile since his return to the White House. Most of Trump's events, including on Friday, take place with the president seated, due to his reportedly poor health.

As we all age, our mobility isn’t what it once was. There is no shame in aging, but when a presidential candidate was sold to the country as being more fit for the job than the person he replaced, and then it turns out that this claim might not be true, that is a big problem.

United States presidential history is loaded with examples of presidents who hid their health problems. FDR hid his use of a wheelchair. JFK never let on to the wide variety of issues that plagued him. Republicans covered up Ronald Reagan’s mental decline, and Republicans covered up the severity of Eisenhower’s heart problems.

Donald Trump has taken this behavior to a different level.

Trump has refused to release his medical records. Trump’s presidential physicals read like propaganda to such an extreme degree that they are joked about and mocked.

The mainstream media is afraid to point out or discuss any potential Trump health issues.

The report that we are about to discuss is an example of why it is difficult for presidential administrations that aren’t transparent about presidential health to push back on stories, no matter the source.
