Donald Trump has sparked renewed concerns about his health after an unusual CNN interview where he texted his responses instead of speaking live.
Text-based Interview Raises Eyebrows
The 79-year-old former president gave an interview to CNN’s Jake Tapper, but chose to send his answers via text message. This style of communication has led some to speculate that he wanted to avoid being seen in person.
During the interview, Trump discussed his views on the Gaza-Israel conflict and issued a stark warning to Hamas. The graphics of his texts were displayed during the show, which some viewers found unsettling.
Concerns About Public Health Visibility
Viewers on social media raised doubts about Trump’s ability to participate in a traditional interview format. Many questioned if it was indeed Trump texting, given that he had not been seen publicly since Tuesday.
Some noted that his absence from public events had fueled rumors regarding his health, with one comment suggesting that texting instead of calling implied he might not be physically fit enough for a phone conversation.
Ongoing Health Rumors and Responses
Despite the growing concerns, the White House has not commented on Trump’s health. He has previously acknowledged issues such as chronic venous insufficiency, which causes swelling in his ankles.
Trump’s occasional difficulties in walking and his recent public absence have intensified speculation about his physical condition, with some even suggesting dramatic scenarios about his health.
