Fresh concerns about the health of former President Donald Trump have emerged following his absence from a CNN interview. During the interview with Jake Tapper, Trump, aged 79, chose to convey his responses via text messages before the show commenced, surprising viewers.
Instead of appearing on-screen, graphics displayed Trump’s messages as he discussed his aspirations for peace in the Gaza-Israel conflict. He made a strong statement, vowing for the “complete obliteration” of Hamas if they did not release the hostages.
In response to a final inquiry by Tapper regarding the government shutdown, Trump replied optimistically, stating, “Good, we are winning, and cutting costs, big time!” The TV network has not disclosed how they confirmed Trump as the sender of the texts.
Viewers took to Twitter to express confusion and speculate about Trump’s well-being, with some calling for a wellness check. Criticism came from American politician Daniel Goldman, who questioned the unconventional nature of a text-message interview and raised concerns about Trump’s prolonged absence.
Despite passing a recent medical exam and being deemed fit for duty both physically and psychologically, Trump has faced health issues since assuming office, including chronic venous insufficiency, swollen ankles, bruising on his hand, and a noticeable drooping mouth.
