Donald Trump recently completed his first physical exam since beginning his second presidential term.
He proudly shared that he scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the cognitive test, which the White House
backed by declaring him in “excellent cognitive and physical health.”
However, new photos showing a visibly slimmer Trump have sparked speculation. Captured while boarding Marine One,
the images reveal he’s lost around 30 pounds since 2022. While the weight loss has impressed many supporters, some health experts are raising flags.
Dr. Daniel Atkinson, speaking to the Irish Star, suggested that weight loss at Trump’s age—now 80—can sometimes signal
underlying health issues. “Older adults under constant stress may face conditions like diabetes, which can cause
unintentional weight changes,” he explained.
He emphasized this does not confirm Trump has any illness, but the potential risks shouldn’t be overlooked.
Trump, once famous for his love of McDonald’s and diet sodas, appears to have made significant lifestyle changes.
The White House has yet to comment on his recent photos but continues to assert his clean bill of health.
Earlier this year, concerns were also raised after images showed his hands appearing bruised during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
