Trump’s Texts to CNN Host Renew Health Speculation
Donald Trump has sparked a fresh frenzy about his health after giving a very unorthodox CNN interview.

The 79-year-old president gave an exclusive interview to State of the Union host Jake Tapper Sunday, but bizar
rely texted his answers in at an unspecified time before the show rather than speaking in person or calling.

In his interview, graphics of Trump’s texts were shown on screen.

On X, however, CNN viewers speculated that Trump turned to his keyboard to avoid being seen—if it was even him sending the texts at all.
