'Not medically well': Trump's health questioned after his face seen drooping at 9/11 event

President Donald Trump spoke at the Pentagon for the annual Sept. 11 event, but some of his expressions are prompting questions about his health.
After large bruises appeared on Trump's hands and his legs swelled as a result of chronic venous insufficiency, observers have been hyper-focused on the president's health. The 79-year-old leader was the oldest person ever inaugurated as president when he was 78 years and 7 months, and he'll be the oldest president in history upon leaving office.
Journalist Aaron Rupar posted the video to X and BlueSky, noting only that it was Trump at the speech with no additional commentary. "Umm whats going on with his face?" asked media personality and political commentator Joanne Carducci (@JoJoFromJerz).
Progressive platform "Call to Activism," similarly asked what was "going on with Trump." "A photo on Getty from this morning; is the media not going to discuss whats happening with his face? If it were Joe, this would be everywhere non-stop," remarked freelance reporter Laurie Brookins on BlueSky.

Sounds almost like Bell's Palsy. I had a co-worker who had that.

(26,974 posts)The mouth dragging down on one side. I'm surprised his speech isn't affected/slurring.
What happened with my Dad, (who was a million times better man than trump.)

(1,538 posts)The last time Trump shut his face for more than an hour was when he was rushed to Walter Reed with COVID.
There is every likelihood that his disappearance last week was health related.

(20,202 posts)coupled with other medical conditions both physically and mentally, he should step down tho, but Vance is horrible too along with the cabinet and administration plus the horrible GQP.
The USA is failing.

Other symptoms of a stroke include slurred speech, congested or hoarse voice and trouble walking. Which pedo Trump displays.
I think they are using AI to correct that side of his face when he gives those rambling stilted speeches. But when he is falling asleep at a ceremony they don't fix his face.

There definitely seems to be a progression in his facial changes recently. The 911 memorial photos are the worst I've seen. Something's going on.

When I was a kid one of my Aunts kept stealing stuff like silverware and salt and pepper shakers...which she collected. She just took things she liked right out in the open.
When my Mom asked why she took them she said they were hers and she was taking them home. She had dementia of some kind. It may have been Alzheimer's but it wasn't regularly diagnosed back then.
Trump seems to have his good days and bad days. Soon they will all be bad days. His health and mental stability are rapidly declining. If this had been Biden, we would have had a president Harris.

The droning monotone in his speeches is tired sounding.
Sir, Sir. Please die Sir!
