Critics circulated footage they say shows Trump nodding off during recent appearances, notably a Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on May 25. Online chatter intensified over his stamina and speaking patterns at events.
Trump, 79, visited Walter Reed Medical Center for a physical on May 26 and posted on Truth Social that "Everything checked out PERFECTLY." The administration has not released a detailed medical report. On CNN, Dr. Jonathan Reiner said the president shows "severe daytime somnolence" and urged the White House to clarify that Trump is fit for duty.
