Amid ongoing speculation about his health, U.S. President Donald Trump was recently seen ‘limping’ during a golf outing at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Footage of the 78-year-old president slowly exiting his golf cart and appearing to drag his right leg has gone viral on social media, further igniting discussions about his well-being.
Viral footage of Trump sparks speculation
The video, which surfaced over the weekend, captures Trump taking cautious steps as he dismounts from his golf cart and prepares to take a shot. Observers on social media were quick to analyze his movements, with some describing his gait as “wobbly” and others claiming he moved his leg like a “piece of wood.”
Twitter user @polemus, who shared the clip, questioned the president’s mobility, writing, “Donald Trump moves his right leg like a piece of wood? #grok does not report any issues related to that.” The tweet, along with the video, quickly gained traction, with users drawing various conclusions about Trump’s physical condition.
Social media reactions
Many online commentators expressed concern over the president’s mobility, suggesting that his limp could be a sign of an underlying health issue.
“Looks like he is dragging that right leg. Hmmm,” one user wrote, while another commented, “Something seems to be going on.” Others, however, attributed his movement to age-related stiffness and wished him well.
Previous health concerns resurface
This latest wave of speculation follows an earlier incident just days ago when a large bruise was spotted on the back of Trump’s hand during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The mark led to further conjecture about the president’s health, with some questioning whether he had undergone medical treatment.
Adding to the concerns, more visible marks were seen on Trump’s hand on Monday during his speech at a White House event announcing a major investment from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). The appearance of these marks has only fueled speculation about potential medical treatments or conditions.
White House responds
Amid mounting scrutiny, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the concerns in a statement to Fox News Digital, dismissing the speculation and affirming Trump’s vigor.
“President Trump is a man of the people and meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history,” Leavitt said, downplaying the significance of the marks spotted on his hand.
Ongoing speculation
Concerns over Trump’s mobility are not new. His right leg has been the subject of speculation for years, with discussions intensifying since he returned to the Oval Office. However, the White House has yet to confirm any serious medical concerns regarding the president’s health.
As Trump remains in the public eye, questions about his physical condition persist, with many awaiting further clarification from official sources.
