American Confidence in Trump’s Health Tanks Amid Odd Medical Visit
Most Americans no longer believe President Trump is healthy enough to do the job, a new poll finds, as questions revolve around a surprise medical visit he made over the weekend.
Recent vote Since The Washington Post, ABC News and Ipsos shows that 59% of Americans don’t think he has the mental acuity to become president, and 55% think he’s not physically fit to do so. That figure represents a sharp increase from last fall, when only 45 percent of Americans thought he was not physically fit enough to serve as president.
The poll was taken before a bizarre medical visit that raised questions even among Republicans about the president’s health and fitness.
On Saturday, Trump left his Florida golf course rather suddenly for what staff said was a dentist appointment that was not previously on his presidential schedule.
“There has been such a lack of candor about the president’s health that even a visit to the dentist raises questions. The WH has a dental office (Pres Biden had a root canal done there), so why a Saturday morning visit to Florida?” said Jonathan Reiner, who served as former Vice President Dick Cheney’s physician. “Maybe he just likes that dentist.”
Rep. Nancy Mace also job a mysterious “pray for President Trump” with no context, only fueling more theories.
“So yesterday Trump is at his golf course in Florida. He’s playing and all of a sudden he’s leaving for a dentist appointment. His press team says it was a regular appointment but it wasn’t on his presidential schedule,” said January 6 insurrectionist Trisha Hope. laid. “Today @NancyMacé posted this. What’s going on?”
“Why did the White House lie yesterday that Trump’s obvious medical emergency was a ‘scheduled’ dentist appointment that wasn’t on his schedule and caused him to suddenly leave his golf course?” conservative commentator Cheri Jacobus thoughtful. “What IV drip does he get at the start of each month? And what’s wrong with his leg?”
Of course, Trump has always claimed that he is in great physical shape, although it is clear that he has lost at least one step since his first term. But the secrecy surrounding his health doesn’t just worry political insiders. This is alarming across most of America. And it’s becoming clearer and clearer, from his falling asleep at public meetings to his editing ramblings on 60 minutesto that mysterious dentist appointment.
