Experts Voice Concern

On CNN Dr. Jonathan Reiner said the public deserves a clear answer that Trump is “fit for duty,” noting visible bruising on his hands, swollen ankles and that the president has appeared to fall asleep in public — describing it as “severe daytime somnolence.”

Contrasting Claims

Trump had announced on May 26 that he “finished my 6-month physical” at Walter Reed, saying everything checked out “PERFECTLY” and that he had “aced” cognitive tests — a claim critics contrasted with the gaffe and medical concerns.

Succession Questions

Commenters pointed out that if the 25th Amendment were invoked Vice President J.D. Vance would assume duties, though he has also faced public miscues, including a May 5 moment where he fumbled papers while speaking.
