White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the claims, saying: “President Trump was listening attentively and running the entire three-hour marathon Cabinet meeting.”
Growing Health Questions
Health concerns have mounted in recent weeks, with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz urging Trump to release MRI results. The White House complied, stating the president’s scan was “perfectly normal.”
Before briefly closing his eyes during the meeting, Trump lashed out at reporters over recurring questions about his health: “You always find something new, like, ‘Is he in good health?’ Biden was great,” he said sarcastically.
He continued, “I sit here and do four news conferences a day… I ask questions from very intelligent lunatics. You people. I give the right answers. There’s never a scandal… but you do stories about Biden was in wonderful health. The guy couldn’t do a news conference for eight months.”
“If I go one day without doing one, ‘There’s something wrong with the president.’ I’ll let you know when there’s something wrong… Right now, I think I’m sharper than I was 25 years ago, but who the hell knows.”
