Donald Trump faces mounting health concerns amid sleep claims and medical scrutiny
Observers have compiled videos and photographs that they say show President Donald Trump dozing off during public events 14 times since July 2025, noting bruising and swelling as additional signs of aging. No official medical assessment has linked these alleged episodes to a specific health issue.
In an Air Force One interview, Trump asserted that a planned strike on Iran would have been the biggest attack since World War II, a statement that prompted viewers and commentators to label it “crazy” and raise fresh worries about his fitness for office.
Trump’s niece, psychologist Mary Trump, told political operative Sidney Blumenthal that the president has an “undiagnosed condition” and is experiencing a “perfect storm of cognitive, psychological and physical decline.”
Separate medical reports released by the White House describe Trump’s health as “excellent,” with heart, lung and neurological tests showing no concerns. Some physicians have criticized the reports as unusually flawless, pointing out missing data such as ejection‑fraction measurements and cholesterol values.
A recently published biography, *Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump*, adds that the president is showing increasing fatigue and hearing deterioration, reinforcing the broader debate over his stamina and sharpness.
