Donald Trump appears to have been struggling to keep his eyes open at cabinet meetings. He was seen with a loping limp in a recent video taken while he showed his grandson around the White House. On top of the customary pancaked concealer, he has taken to wearing two thick Band-Aids on the back of his right hand.
Don’t worry, though, folks, there is nothing to see here. Trump “remains in excellent overall health,” according to his physician, Dr Sean Barbarella.
Under pressure, the White House released information about a recent MRI scan that has raised more questions than it answers. Barbarella claimed it was a “preventative” chest and abdominal scan that was normal for men of Trump’s age.
Seasoned doctors voiced their doubts. “There’s no chance that this was just sort of routine preventative care. First of all, it’s not part of routine preventative care,” Dr Jonathan Reiner, former US vice-president Dick Cheney’s cardiologist, told CNN.
When it comes to Trump, Americans have given up hoping for the truth. Maga keyboard warriors don’t want to know the 79-year-old US President isn’t the macho superman of their memes. And this White House doesn’t regard itself as answerable to anybody else.
On the Democratic side, Gavin Newsom has emerged as the top Trump tormentor on social media. The Governor of California produced a parody doctor’s letter boasting his bones were as hard as a “redwood” and satirical portraits of Trump nodding off in the newly installed “Presidential Walk of Fame” gallery at the White House.
But Democrats are hamstrung by their cover-up of former US president Joe Biden’s obvious decline. Newsom himself claimed shamelessly in 2024 that, “It’s because of his age that he’s been so successful.”
In the end, voters could see for themselves that Biden was struggling and are likely to draw their own conclusions about Trump, partly based on their own financial health.
According to a Politico poll, 46 per cent of voters believe the US economy is the worst they have ever experienced (including 37 per cent of 2024 Trump voters). They won’t be soothed by the US President’s assurances that the affordability crisis is a “fake narrative” and a Democratic “con job”.
The White House is dispatching Trump on a proof-of-life visit to Pennsylvania next week, but it’s not the full-throttle public tour that some Republican aides have urged. Trump may attend one more event before Christmas and is apparently thinking of holding more after New Year’s Day.
There could be an explanation for Dozy Don’s obvious sleepiness on the job, but it’s not reassuring. On 1 December, Trump went on a bizarre social media posting spree that lasted nearly five hours, from 7pm to midnight.
Trump himself, or a manic aide acting on his behalf, whirled out 160 posts on his Truth Social site, demanding reverse migration, calling for the punishment of “seditious” lawmakers for inciting troops to disobey orders, and celebrating Christmas for being “Officially Great Again”.
He also “re-truthed” a post from the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones of Infowars claiming that Michelle Obama had somehow seized control of Biden’s “Autopen” to pardon felons. Oh, and 16 of the supposedly patriotic or Maga accounts Trump enthusiastically reposted on X were actually based abroad or used VPNs to conceal their location (according to X’s helpful new transparency policy).
The next day, Trump held a cabinet press conference, which he opened by slamming the New York Times’ reporting on his alleged fading stamina. The paper had claimed he rarely began meetings before 10.30am and that his “battery shows signs of wear”.
“You guys are crazy,” Trump fumed. “Right now, I think I’m sharper than I was 25 years ago.” During the meeting, his eyelids began drooping and he appeared fast asleep just as Marco Rubio was praising him as a peacemaker.
Had the US President been listening, this would have been the surest way to gain his favour. An important clue to Trump’s anxiety about age is his obsession with legacy.
The US Institute of Peace in Washington – an independent, non-partisan body – has just been renamed the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace after he fired most of its board members earlier this year.

It can only be a matter of time before the “Trump-Kennedy Center”, as the US President joshed about Washington’s premier arts venue, follows suit. On Friday, the international football body, Fifa, is due to present Trump with its “inaugural peace prize” at the Center.
This appears to have been tailor-made for Trump with little or no consultation by Fifa president Gianni Infantino.
By the end of Trump’s presidency, the gilded Oval Office will be filled with bogus awards and hollow mementoes of his vaunted achievements. But as the title of a famous 1930s Hollywood screwball comedy puts it: “You can’t take it with you.”
