A medical report saying that Donald Trump is in excellent health has sparked speculation, with commentators questioning how legitimate it is.
The former president published a doctor’s letter on his social-media platform Truth Social on Monday. It said that the 77-year-old’s physical health was normal and that his cognitive health was exceptional.
There has been increased scrutiny on the Republican’s cognitive health. Trump is leading in the party’s primaries and will likely face President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election. However, he made a number of gaffes in recent speeches, such as confusing Sioux City and Sioux Falls during a rally and saying that Viktor Orban is the leader of Turkey, not Hungary.
While Trump has not suffered as much backlash about his age as 81-year-old Biden, after a Harvard-Harris poll found 67 percent of voters said he was too old to be president, some critics have questioned the former president’s ability to govern.
