Social media critics were not quite ready to accept White House claims of President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cexcellent health\u201d this weekend.<\/p>\n

Read more Trump has definitely overplayed his hand this time<\/a><\/p>\n

Citing the results of a recent examination, a Friday memo from Trump\u2019s physician Dr. Sean Barbabella asserted that Trump \u201cremains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and overall physical function.\u201d<\/p>\n

To some, the news came as a surprise considering Trump is the oldest person ever elected to the White House, with his 80th birthday arriving in June. To others, the claim was outright comedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would seriously doubt the rest of any report that still claims he\u2019s 6\u20193\u201d 238lbs,\u201d said one critic on Bluesky.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid the North Korean propaganda team write this for him?\u201d said another Bluesky user, referring to Trump\u2019s history of nodding off in public, his late-night screeds and other obvious signs of pulmonary illness, including apparent tissue swelling of the ankles. <\/p>\n

CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner described the severe edema in his ankles as Chronic Venous Insufficiency, despite a White House statement just three months before that he had no edema.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you believe those blood pressure numbers, you\u2019re a fool lol,\u201d howled one critic on X.<\/p>\n

Other Trump critics are seeing the rashes on his skin and severe bruising on his extremities and declaring that the president is rotting away as the public watches.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump is decaying, both in body and popularity,\u201d said Left Hook podcaster Wajahat Ali. \u201cThe nearly 80-year-old vulgarian is a diminished man with historically low favorability ratings. He has dragged the GOP down with him. His actions are more reflective of a paranoid, weak King who knows his end is near and is desperately trying to sandbag against the vengeful wave that is about to topple his kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n

After President Donald Trump completed a medical exam at Walter Reed on Tuesday, he posted on Truth Social that declare that \u201cEverything checked out PERFECTLY.\u201d But NBC News medical analyst Dr. Vin Gupta said there are lingering issues with Trump that just aren\u2019t adding up, particularly regarding his inflamed skin and lingering rashes.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo use a medical terminology, is there a bleeding diathesis [indicated by hand bruises] \u2026 impairing his blood’s ability to properly form clots and is there a predisposition to bleeding,\u201d Gupta said. \u201cThey claim that it is high-dose aspirin that’s causing this, which, again, doesn’t pass the sniff test.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social media hecklers apparently agree.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey released this thing at 11pm on a Friday night, and it’s a piecemeal mess that leaves out a vast amount of detail from the many specialists he’s seeing,\u201d said a critic on X. \u201cHe’s 80. His cankles are huge, he falls asleep all the time, and he sounds like a maniac.\u201d<\/p>\n
