A top doctor has warned that there’s “reason to be worried” about President Donald Trump’s declining health.
His comments follow a New York Times report revealing that Trump had dramatically reduced his work schedule compared to his first term in office, carrying out 1,029 engagements against 1,688 in the first 10 months, a drop of 39 percent.
Now, a leading public health physician, Dr. Vin Gupta, has claimed that Trump is visibly slowing down, saying “clearly something is happening” to his mental capability.
“Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because that’s just the moment that we live in,” Gupta said during an appearance on The MeidasTouch Podcast. “There’s a reason, and they’re worried.
“Frankly, piecing this all together, there’s a reason to be worried based on his public performance.”
Gupta, who previously served as chief medical officer at Amazon, annihilated Trump’s claims that he didn’t know which part of his body he had an MRI scan on during a check-up in October, calling it “utter nonsense.”
Speaking to the press on Air Force One, the president admitted he had undergone the scan during a visit to Walter Reed Medical Center on Oct. 10, but was evasive about why.
Gupta also questioned Trump’s mental fitness. “It is clear there is age-related cognitive decline, that’s obvious,” he said.
“His response to someone fainting in the Oval Office conveyed that, he didn’t show any signs of concern, he didn’t really do anything, he was slow to respond—and that slowness and fatigue you’re seeing more and more in his public events.”
