Trump FORGETS 'Alzheimers' After Bruise Incident

Trump explained a large bruise on his hand, visible at Davos, as a result of bumping it on a table and taking "big aspirin," which he claims causes bruising. He stated his doctor advised against it but he takes it for heart health.

I clipped it on the table. So, I put a little uh what do they call it? Cream on it. But I clipped it. I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don't take aspirin if you don't want to have a little bruising. You know, if you take the big I take the big aspirin and when you take the big aspirin, they tell you you're bruised.

Trump's staff, including press secretary Caroline Levit, made extraordinary claims about his health and work ethic in the New York Magazine interview, stating his energy levels are so high that even elite military personnel struggle to keep up, and that he works harder than ever.

His energy levels are so good that even elite members of the military cannot keep up with his work schedule. Quote the marine centuries who stand outside of the Oval Office. They had to request more staff and bring up more Marines because the president is in the Oval Office so much. They've never had to do that before.

During the interview, Trump struggled to recall the word "Alzheimer's" when discussing his father's condition, pointing to his forehead and looking to his press secretary for assistance.

Quote, he had one problem. Trump said at a certain age about 86,87 he started getting what do you call it? He pointed to his forehead, looked at the press secretary for the word that escaped him, Alzheimer's. Levit said, 'Like an Alzheimer's thing.' Trump said, 'Well, I don't have it.'

A White House doctor, who previously served the Obama administration, directly stated that President Trump was healthier than President Obama when asked by the interviewer, under Trump's direct gaze.

Who is healthier, Obama or Trump?' I asked. Trump stared across the desk, making eye contact with Jones. Jones did not hesitate. President Trump, he said. Trump nodded. There was no sign of a smile as if there could not have been any other answer to the question. Write that, he said, turning to me.

Senator Marco Rubio provided anecdotes about Trump's "unparalleled memory" and attention to detail, but also revealed he "cocoons" himself in a blanket on Air Force One to avoid Trump seeing him resting and deeming him "weak."

Rubio said he needs to get rest on overseas flights, but Trump never naps on the plane... 'What I do is I cocoon myself in a blanket. I cover my head, and I look like a mummy. I do that because I know that at some point he's going to emerge from the cabin and start prawling the hallways to see who is awake. And I want him to think it is a staffer. And I don't want him to see the Secretary of State on the couch and think, "Oh, this guy is so weak."'

The hosts noted observable physical changes in Trump, including recurring hand blotches, a facial droop, a shuffling walk, and low-energy, meandering speeches, alongside an increasing frequency of word retrieval issues and mixing up concepts like Greenland and Iceland.

The blotches on the hands, which are constant at this point... We see the facial droop. We see him, you know, just being an old man and falling asleep in meetings... There's days when he gets up there behind the podium he looks like The speech is like slow. Certainly his hearing is not what it used to be. You know the splashes on the hands. There's been times when his walk has been sort of shuffly... remember when he kept mixing up Greenland and Iceland... it does seem to be happening more and more frequently that the word is not he's not able to grab the word he wants.

The hosts speculated that the recurring bruises on Trump's hands, always in the same place, could indicate he is routinely receiving IVs, drawing a parallel to images of Queen Elizabeth II's hands before her death.

And the fact it's always in the same place and is always on the hand. does give credence to the idea that he's getting routinely getting some sort of an IV there... Remember the remember the queen's hand right before she died? Yeah, that's what a lot of people and yeah, I mean, I've gotten IVs in my hands before. It hurts. It always leaves a huge bruise.
