\u201cThe Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact opposite. They know this is wrong, as is almost every thing that they write about me, including election results, ALL PURPOSELY NEGATIVE,\u201d Trump wrote. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out. Despite all of this, I have my highest Poll Numbers, ever, and with record setting investment being made in America, they should only go up,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (\u201cThat was aced\u201d) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump, who is on course to be the oldest sitting president in U.S. history, didn\u2019t help his argument that he is not suffering physical or cognitive decline in his rambling Truth Social Post.<\/p>\n
While listing off his accomplishments during the 2024 election, the president wrote that he \u201cone our Nation\u2019s Districts by 2750 to 550,\u201d instead using the correct word \u201cwon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has frequently lashed out at suggestions that he is in mental or physical decline\u2014a criticism long aimed at his 83-year-old predecessor, Joe Biden.<\/p>\n
This is despite Trump often appearing in public with bruises on his hands<\/a> and swollen cankles, and confirming that he underwent an MRI scan<\/a> at his second physical in a year.<\/p>\n Questions about Trump\u2019s apparent diminished state were raised earlier this month when the 79-year-old president seemed to doze off <\/a>during a press conference in the Oval Office regarding the cost of weight-loss drugs.<\/p>\n Tuesday\u2019s expos\u00e9 from The New York Times suggests that Trump may be lowering his workload to better cope with the strains of being president. This includes scaling back his official appearances by 39 percent\u2014from 1,688 appearances during the first ten months of his first term down to 1,029 this year.<\/p>\n Trump is now starting his day later on average than he did during his first term and is working for shorter periods. In 2017, Trump\u2019s scheduled events began just after 10:30 a.m. on average, according to the Times\u2019 analysis of Roll Call data. <\/p>\n However, Trump now begins his planned events in the afternoon on average, at 12:08 p.m., while still ending them just after 5 p.m.<\/p>\n The White House has attempted to push back on claims that Trump\u2019s health is in decline or that it is hiding his frailties<\/a> from the American public. <\/p>\n White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Beast that it has been \u201copen and transparent about the president\u2019s health, which remains exceptional,\u201d whereas the previous administration \u201ccovered up Joe Biden\u2019s cognitive decline and hid him from the press.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"President](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DLC2NFY7O5DCPFQHR5ORPPJ2YY.jpg\")
