Donald Trump’s staircase struggle and wax‑like hand spark online frenzy

During a live broadcast from Air Force One after returning from the NATO summit in Ankara, President Donald Trump climbed the aircraft stairs slowly, pausing midway and gripping the handrail. Viewers on social media expressed concern about his health, with comments such as “Is he okay? He needs a wheelchair lift.”

At the same summit, a photograph of Trump’s right hand drew viral attention because the skin appeared unusually firm and discolored. Online users joked that the hand looked like a wax figure, with remarks like “Madame Tussaud will take her hand back.” The image sparked a wave of memes and speculation about the president’s appearance, while some defended the photo as normal.

Both incidents generated extensive online discussion about the president’s physical condition, though no official health concerns were reported.
