Donald Trump’s health doubts spark doctor skepticism and public concern

U.S. doctors are questioning the health of President Donald Trump after multiple sightings of bruises on his hands and swollen knees. Cardiologist Jonathan Reiner told The Washington Post that the White House’s explanation – that the marks are caused by aspirin use and frequent handshakes – “does not make much sense for me.” Former presidential physician Jeffrey Kuhlman echoed the doubts, noting a lack of transparency surrounding Trump’s upcoming annual physical. An Ipsos poll for The Washington Post found that only 41% of Americans believe the president is physically fit to serve.

Commentators in Norway have warned that Trump’s unpredictable behavior is unsettling Western leaders, describing him as a “huge bull” charging ahead and challenging European, Australian and Canadian officials. The pieces highlight concerns that his actions could have broader implications for U.S. foreign policy and regional stability.
