Donald Trump health concerns
Rumors of president Trump’s ill health have been spreading in the press and on social media for some time, particularly after he became the oldest sitting US President in American history in January 2025.
Speculation reached its peak in September, when the 79-year-old seemed to be missing for several days, having not attended meetings or conferences.
Yet, this didn’t stop the health concerns from swirling.
Late last year, speculation heightened once again when people allegedly spotted a ‘mysterious lump‘ on the President’s body.
Across a series of events, the 79-year-old was spotted with what appeared to be discoloration or light bruising on the back of his left hand – this comes after he’s been spotted with bruises seemingly on his right hand.

In late October 2025, the President told that he had an MRI at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
“I got an MRI. It was perfect,” he said at the time. “I mean, I gave you the full results. We had an MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.”
Trump’s doctor, Sean Barbarella, told the Wall Street Journal it was performed to ‘definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues.’
Dr. Barbarella also spoke to ABC News, stating the President stays ‘in exceptional health and perfectly suited to execute his duties as Commander in Chief.’
