The authors of a bombshell book about Donald Trump have provided telling insight into how the president deals with his health woes within the White House.
Trump, 80, has infamously suffered from visibly bruised hands and swollen ankles during his second term, and has been caught on camera falling asleep during meetings at the White House and in other high-stakes summits.
The president has also sported a mysterious neck rash, bragged repeatedly about "acing" a dementia screening exam that he claims measures intelligence, and has a habit of rambling off-topic during interviews and speeches.
Regime Change authors Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan pointed out in their book that Trump also struggles with his hearing and would reroute meetings from the East Wing to the Oval Office as the acoustics were better.

(37,179 posts)Stuff like this might not make editorial muster in a newsroom for a variety of reasons, not least because it might not pass multiple source tests, but it's easier to print in a book because publishers' reputations are not as tenuous as regular news organizations are. Once in a book, it's the authors' credibility on the line more-so than the publisher's.
