Trump’s Health Under Scrutiny After ‘Dozy Don’ Incident at Drug Price Event
President Donald Trump, at 79, has sparked concerns about his health and stamina. Recent images of him appearing to nod off during an announcement have drawn criticism, with opponents dubbing him 'Dozy Don'. The White House has dismissed the incident, attributing it to Trump's strong stamina, as praised by aides and Cabinet members.
Trump's health has been a topic of discussion, especially given his age. He is the oldest man ever inaugurated as U.S. President. Over the summer, the White House revealed that Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition affecting vein valves. However, a recent medical examination conducted by his personal physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, including an MRI and cognitive tests, confirmed that Trump was in 'excellent overall health'.
The incident in question occurred during an announcement about cutting prices for weight-loss drugs. Images of Trump appearing to close his eyes sparked questions about his on-the-job performance. The White House spokesperson clarified that Trump was not sleeping and took questions from the press during the announcement.
Despite the incident, the White House maintains that Trump's strong stamina allows him to participate in lengthy public events. His opponents, however, continue to express concerns about his health and performance. Trump's next medical examination is awaited to provide further insights into his health status.
