A viral video from Donald Trump’s New Year’s appearance at Mar-a-Lago has sparked renewed debate about his health after viewers noticed a change in his walking style. Social media users questioned his movement, while others dismissed the concerns as age-related. The clip has reignited broader discussion about transparency surrounding the president’s health.
President Donald Trump has once again raised fresh health concerns after the white patch was spotted on his hands during an event months back. Recently during an appearance at Mar-a-Lago to celebrate New Year’s, he was seen dragging his right leg while walking. In a viral video, Trump momentarily adjusted his posture upon noticing cameras, prompting speculation and questions from observers about his physical condition and what he may be hiding. Let’s find out what happened.
As per multiple social media posts, new health concerns surrounding Donald Trump have emerged after a video from his New Year celebration at Mar-a-Lago began circulating on X (formerly called Twitter). In the viral clips, the 79-year-old president is seen dressed in a tuxedo, and he is accompanied by his wife, Melania, in a sparkling gown. The couple arrived hand-in-hand at the estate.
However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed Trump appearing to drag his right leg before suddenly adjusting his stride, as captured in a video shared on the X account CaltoActivism. "Omg!! Trump just showed up at Mar-a-Lago to celebrate New Year's, dragging his right leg, and quickly adjusted his walk when he realised the cameras were on. What's Trump hiding?” the user wrote in the post.
As soon as the video surfaced on social media, it quickly grabbed attention and sparked debate. One user wrote, “He’s almost 80; give the man a break.”
Another wrote, “Legit just saw the world's most awkward power walk.” “Trump always finds a way to make an entrance; his gestures spark curiosity no matter the moment or the crowd watching.”
“Shit, I do that at 62. The muscles just don’t work like they used to. I will say I couldn’t do a 3 hr presser like he can. I got 2 min for any convo and then I’m out,” one added.
While one said, “OMG!!! You're a joke! 🤣 "Dragging his leg???" 🤦🏽♀️ THAT'S HOW HE'S ALWAYS WALKED!!!”
“He’s not dragging anything 🙄 don’t forget the man is like 80 years old. Most people half his age can’t walk without a limp .. just sayin🤷🏼♀️”
According to CNN, another recent appearance of new bruising on Trump’s left hand has reignited public discussion about his health, nearly a year after he became the oldest president to take office. Earlier, the president displayed a persistent bruise on his right hand, which the White House attributed to frequent handshakes and aspirin use.
While, as per medical experts, brushing is likely harmless and common with age, they note that Trump’s limited disclosure about his health continues to invite speculation and heightened scrutiny.
