Ex-White House Cardiologist 'Seriously Concerned' Over Trump's 'Manic' Address Delivery
A prominent cardiologist and former White House physician has raised serious concerns about President Trump’s health. Dr Jonathan Reiner, who once treated Vice President Dick Cheney, questioned Trump’s appearance and behaviour during a recent prime-time speech. His remarks come amid growing public speculation about the president’s condition.
Dr Reiner described Trump’s speech delivery as 'manic', noting a stark contrast between the festive background and the president’s intense tone. He later stated that 'no one should be happy to see the president like this' and added that Trump 'looks unwell'. These observations have fuelled wider discussions about the president’s fitness for office.
The cardiologist has previously questioned the White House’s explanations regarding Trump’s health. In 2020, he challenged the administration’s claim that an unannounced MRI scan at Walter Reed was routine, arguing that advanced imaging is diagnostic, not a screening tool. He has also criticised the vague language in medical memos, insisting the public deserves access to specific clinical data. Meanwhile, social media users have pointed to other unusual signs, including Trump appearing to nod off during meetings and wearing bandages on his hand at multiple events. Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove has also expressed concern, hinting that the president might be taking Leqembi, a drug used to treat Alzheimer’s. Despite the speculation, Trump maintains that he is in 'excellent health'.
Dr Reiner’s comments reflect broader unease about the transparency of Trump’s medical records. His concerns, combined with public observations, have kept the issue in the spotlight. The White House has yet to address the latest claims in detail.
