New concerns regarding Donald Trump’s well-being have emerged following his recent appearance alongside First Lady Melania Trump at a service commemorating the 24th anniversary of the tragic 9/11 attacks. During the event at the Pentagon Memorial near Washington, where the US president addressed service members and families of victims, observers on social media noted an unusual aspect of his demeanor.
Speculations circulated on social platforms suggesting a noticeable droop on the right side of Trump’s mouth, raising questions about the 79-year-old’s physical and mental condition. While some criticized these health-related speculations as insensitive, attributing Trump’s appearance to being shaken by the recent assassination of his associate Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, others voiced their concerns about his well-being.
One user on social media shared a photo of Trump’s face, alleging signs of a possible minor stroke, claiming it was not an isolated occurrence but persisted for a significant duration. Another individual mentioned observations of Trump appearing to fall asleep during the 9/11 ceremony and experiencing facial drooping while relaxing, expressing doubts about his medical fitness.
However, an opposing viewpoint portrayed Trump as appearing fatigued and distressed due to recent events. During the service, Trump honored the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, expressing sorrow over his death and emphasizing Kirk’s enduring impact on the youth. Trump also revealed plans to posthumously award Kirk the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the US, drawing parallels between Kirk and the 9/11 victims.
The White House has refrained from commenting on the latest health-related concerns surrounding Trump. Earlier in September, speculations regarding Trump’s health were fueled by audio from a phone interview with Scott Jennings, a former special assistant to President George W. Bush, where Trump’s voice sounded congested and fatigued while discussing matters with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite these speculations, both Trump and the White House dismissed any health-related rumors promptly.
