Donald Trump has sparked renewed health fears as his bruised hand is now “swollen”, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

Journalist Aron Rupar said on X that “Trump’s black hand was looking extra gnarly and swollen today”. This comes after people on social media reacted to another event that started rumours regarding the US President’s health. A recent Trump’s speech sparked concern as he appeared to slur.<\/p>\n

This happened during an event at the White House, where he was presented with the Washington Coal Club’s ‘Undisputed Champion of Coal’ title for his efforts to scale back federal greenhouse gas regulations. During his speech he said: “The undisputed champion of beautiful, clean coal. We have to proceed always — I don’t use the word coal, you know, it needs a PR job because it has had a bad reputation for a while. So we’re not allowed to say the word coal anymore. It has to be preceded by beautiful, clean coal, OK? We’re cleaning it up very good.”<\/p>\n

When he tried to pronounce the word “undisputed”, Trump stumbled over his words.\u00a0<\/a>He then said: “And I’m proud to officially name the undisputed — just when did this come out, Mr Speaker?”<\/p>\n

Rumours regarding his health were also addressed by his niece, who said “there seem to be some indications that he has some cognitive issues.” In an interview with the CNN, Mary Trump, who is a clinical psychologist, addressed the recent rumours on the president’s health and said she thinks her uncle “has had undiagnosed, untreated, psychiatric disorders for many, many years”.<\/p>\n

The US President also answered a reporter’s query about a bruise on his hand<\/a> spotted at several events, including the unveiling of his Board of Peace for Gaza, and said that was due to a pill he took. He said: “I’m very good. I clipped it on the table, so I put a little, what do they call it? Cream on it.” The president then added: “But I clipped it. I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don’t take aspirin if you don’t want to have a little bruising. I take the big aspirin. Now, when you take the big aspirin, they tell you you bruise.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump has sparked renewed health fears as his bruised hand is now “swollen”, it has been claimed.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":422671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[141,49,50,51,47,52,48,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-422670","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-top-news","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-topnews","14":"tag-topstories","15":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
