Donald Trump’s address to the nation on Wednesday left many baffled. Not much because of what he said, but the way he presented himself. Now, a top doctor and professor has made an alarming statement on Donald Trump’s speech, sharing that he’s seriously concerned for his health.
The president held an address to the nation on Wednesday. Although many reacted to Donald Trump’s statements and claims, many of which turned out to be false, others felt that something wasn’t quite right.
Trump, who is usually calm, appeared to be shouting into the cameras, speaking directly to the American people. The speech lasted around 20 minutes and focused on the economy and immigration, with him criticizing his predecessors in the Oval Office several times.
Several social media users questioned whether something was wrong with Trump, and so did an expert in the medical field. Jonathan Reiner, cardiologist and professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University, wrote on X, “I’m seriously concerned about the health of the president.”
Speaking with CNN host Jake Tapper on Thursday’s edition of The Lead, Reiner elaborated on his stance that something could be seriously wrong with the president. Moreover, he claimed Trump had a “maniac cadence” which was “very disturbing.”
“Well, it wasn’t the content. I thought the content was just standard fare that we’ve become accustomed to. But it was the way it was delivered. It was delivered with a manic cadence, almost a frantic cadence. It was as if you felt like you were listening to a podcast on 2x. And that kind of manic delivery was very, very disturbing. Very pressurized speech,” Reiner said.
Medical expert says Trump’s behavior is “disturbing” in new health claim
“And as the address went on, his cadence of his remarks became quicker. And we’ve never seen the president like that. He seemed almost frantic. And it was disturbing to watch. It was disturbing because he’s the commander-in -chief. He’s not just the head of the government. He’s the commander-in-chief of the greatest armed forces this world has ever seen. And it was disturbing to see him with such an almost uncontrolled cadence.”
The White House has previously responded to questions about Donald Trump’s health, including his swollen ankles and bruises on his hands.
Jonathan Reiner said the White House should be “more forthcoming” about Trump’s conditions, which “no one should be happy to see.” The expert also noted that Trump appears to have fallen asleep several times during meetings.
“He’s fallen asleep in a crowded Oval Office. And he’s also fallen asleep at cabinet meetings with people talking directly to him, and that’s what’s called increased daytime somnolence. And there are a lot of things that can do that. Sometimes people with sleep apnea, people who wake up many times during the night and don’t get restorative sleep have that,” Reiner told CNN.
“Jarring”
“That’s treated typically with CPAP or CPAP mask. We’ve never been told the president has sleep apnea. So, but it’s jarring to see the president go from basically asleep in the Oval Office to, you know, really this rapid-fire pace during basically a 30 minute speech that he gave in 18 minutes.”
