Donald Trump’s Baffling Bump Sparks Fears for His Health: Mysterious Lumps and Bruises Fuel Wild Speculation
- Fresh footage of the US President sparks concerns about his health after a bizarre shape is spotted under his clothing
- Eagle-eyed viewers claim it could be a medical device, such as an LVAD, used to help a weakened heart pump blood
- Others rubbish the claims, saying the protrusion is nothing more than a phone or a wallet, or even part of a bulletproof vest
Donald Trump’s health has once again come under scrutiny after a baffling bump was spotted under his clothing in recent footage. The US President was seen walking towards waiting reporters after exiting Air Force One last Friday, but it was what appeared to be hidden in the pocket of his suit that really caught the attention of eagle-eyed viewers.
The small, rectangular shape was visible around Trump’s lower torso, sparking a frenzy of speculation about what it could be. Many quickly took to social media, claiming it was more “evidence” of Trump’s reported ailing health. “Wow, he looks incredibly sickly. There’s no doubt he has an LVAD,” wrote one viewer.
However, others were quick to rubbish the claims, saying the protrusion was nothing more than a phone or a wallet. “It’s a card holder. He doesn’t use a traditional wallet,” said one. Others even speculated it was part of a bulletproof vest. “He’s wearing a vest because people keep trying to kill him,” wrote one.
This isn’t the first time Trump’s physical appearance has come into question. In recent months, the 79-year-old has been photographed with dark bruising on his hands, which he has tried at times to cover with makeup. His physician later attributed the marks to routine bruising from frequent handshaking and aspirin use.
In August, the White House revealed Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency – a condition in older people where blood can pool in the veins. The White House disclosed the diagnosis amid growing scrutiny over photos showing severe swelling in Trump’s legs. Still, that explanation did little for the President as he was then rumoured to be dead over the Labor Day weekend in September, after being unusually quiet.
As the speculation continues to swirl around Trump’s health, one thing is certain – the mysteries surrounding the US President’s physical appearance are far from over.
In a stark reminder of the intense scrutiny Trump is under, one viewer wrote, “It’s pretty obvious that he wears a lot of devices for his health”. But for now, the White House remains tight-lipped about the mysterious lump, leaving the public to draw their own conclusions.
