Trump sick again: Video footage goes viral

Due to two video clips that rapidly spread across the internet yesterday (21), there has once again been intense discussion about the health condition of 79-year-old American President Donald Trump. One video shows the President, who arrived at Mar-a-Lago in Florida on March 21, descending the stairs of Air Force One with great difficulty and caution, where his firm grip on the handrail and his visibly fatigued state drew everyone's attention.

The other video shows his extreme difficulty in sitting down at a small table during a ceremony honoring the Navy football team held at the White House on the same day, where photographs clearly captured him gripping both sides of the table, changing his facial expressions, and slowly sitting down. Due to this, various opinions regarding his age and health condition began to emerge across social media and news headlines.

This series of events is not isolated, and many other signs indicating the President's health issues throughout 2026 had been reported by the media. Many also paid attention to a red spot and rash visible on the right side of his neck during several events in early March, which White House physician Sean Barbabella stated was a condition caused by a common skin cream used under medical advice. Additionally, there was discussion about large purple and black bruise marks seen on his hands during the Davos summit in January and on several other occasions, which the White House stated were due to frequent handshakes and his daily high dosage of aspirin. Although doctors had warned against taking such a high aspirin dose of approximately 325 milligrams, the President had stated that he held a certain traditional belief regarding it.

It has also been revealed that he has been suffering at various times this year due to a condition of leg swelling (CVI) identified earlier in 2025, and although he attempted to use compression socks for it, he later stopped. Various incidents related to the President's health have been reported since January, including a video of him limping on New Year's Eve and a decrease in his public appearances by February. Furthermore, in mid-March, during an event for Women's History Month, issues regarding his memory arose when he confused the names of former advisor Kellyanne Conway and current press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

However, amidst all these issues, the White House and the President continue to assert that he is in perfect health. Dr. Sean Barbabella and the medical team indicate that Trump's cognitive test results are excellent, and the President believes he is physically and mentally as good as he was 50 years ago. While these signs of aging, skin problems, and bruises on the body, which are expected for Trump, who is set to celebrate his 80th birthday in June 2026, can be considered medically normal, doctors' attention has been drawn to issues such as the use of high aspirin dosages. Meanwhile, millions of people have watched these events across social media and major news channels, and criticisms are being leveled regarding his extreme fatigue and transparency. Due to the President's health issues, various opinions are also emerging through some media outlets regarding his future political activities and the readiness of Vice President J.D. Vance.
