"United States President Donald Trump has dismissed concerns about his health in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, despite scrutiny of his sometimes-drowsy appearance and the patches of makeup that have recently appeared on his hand. The interview appeared in Thursday's edition of the newspaper. In its pages, the Wall Street Journal reporters confronted Trump with questions about his age, fitness and statements about his recent health treatments."
"Let's talk about health again for the 25th time, Trump told the interviewers at the outset of their conversation. Trump is currently 79 years old. Should he complete his second term in full, he will be 82 years old by its conclusion. That would make him the oldest sitting president in US history, breaking the record set by his predecessor, Joe Biden. But just as Biden faced scrutiny for his ageing mind and body, so too has Trump."
President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about his health and denied slowing down, responding with mild irritation to questions about age and fitness. He insisted that repeated attention to his health amounted to redundancy. Trump is 79 and would be 82 if he completes a second term, which would make him the oldest sitting U.S. president. Recordings have captured him appearing to nod off during public events, and close-up images showed thick patches of makeup on his hand. Trump initially said he had undergone an MRI scan but later clarified he received a CT scan after a doctor described it as such.
