Author Claims Trump Is Hiding Health Details From His Aides [View all]

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.
