"As bruised hands and cankle swelling fuel rampant speculation about President Donald Trump's health, those he chooses to surround himself with would have you believe he was wrestling alligators or running marathons on weekends. In a new deep-dive in New York this week, the magazine's D.C. correspondent Ben Terris sat down with Trump and some members of his team, who at times delivered bizarre, sycophantic defenses of the president's health."
"The guy is too healthy, Marco Rubio said in an interview at the White House. He's too active.

The surrounding narrative from aides stressed vigor and robust fitness, framing visible signs as inconsistent with claims of poor health.
