Jonathan Drake / ReutersPresident Donald Trump’s private health problems have been revealed in a new book, adding to a list of public symptoms the president has been battling since he returned to office. Throughout his second term, the 80-year-old has tried to hide his chronically swollen ankles and bruising on his hands, and has been caught falling asleep during meetings at the White House and in the middle of other high-stakes summits. He has also appeared in public with a mysterious neck rash, bragged repeatedly about “acing” a dementia screening exam that he claims measures intelligence, and become known for rambling off topic during interviews and speeches.

'This guy's not doing well': Trump's library 'rant' sparks fresh health concerns
President Donald Trump's rant and the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library on Wednesday sparked fresh health concerns for one political analyst. David Pakman, host of The David Pakman Show on YouTube, said in a recent video that Trump's speech at the opening ceremony for the new presidential library raised all kinds of red flags. Not only did Trump appear physically exhausted, but he also made some quizzical claims that made Pakman wonder about the state of Trump's mental health. In one clip Pakman played, Trump appeared out of breath while he was speaking to the crowd. Another clip showed Trump making a strange comment about having a threesome with his two sons, Don Jr. and Eric. What's coming out of his mouth isn't making a lot of sense, Pakman said. This guy's not doing well, and it's almost painful to watch.One clip that caught Pakman's eye in particular showed Trump struggling to read the teleprompter. In the clip, Trump weaves between the history of the Rough Riders and a criticism of NATO. I don't think he can do this anymore, Pakman said.
