A video of former U.S. President Donald Trump appearing to limp while on a golf course in Palm Beach, Florida, has sparked widespread speculation and debate on social media.
The clip, which went viral, shows Trump struggling to get out of a golf cart and seemingly dragging his right leg, prompting questions about his health. While some users commented on his “wobbly legs” or compared his movement to “a piece of wood,” others dismissed the concerns as exaggerated or politically motivated.
The White House communications director, Steven Cheung, quickly stepped in to address the rumors, calling them “complete falsehoods and fabricated lies.” He accused “deranged and morally bankrupt liberals” and “corrupt media” of spreading misinformation, attributing the speculation to what he described as “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Cheung’s statement aimed to shut down the growing chatter about Trump’s physical condition, but the video continued to fuel discussions online.
The footage was reportedly taken on Sunday afternoon, just two days after Trump’s highly publicized and contentious meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. During that meeting, Trump berated Zelensky in front of the press, leading to a heated exchange that drew widespread criticism. The timing of the golf course video has only added to the scrutiny surrounding Trump, who has faced repeated questions about his health in recent years.
Experts who reviewed the video told the *Daily Mail* that the movement seen in the clip could be attributed to a range of conditions, though they emphasized that it is impossible to diagnose Trump without a thorough medical examination and access to his health records. Arun Gray, a UK-based sports scientist and injury rehabilitation specialist, suggested that Trump might be exhibiting a condition known as “knock knee,” where the knees bend inward. However, this remains speculative.
This is not the first time Trump’s health has been the subject of public debate. Last week, his hearing was called into question after he repeatedly asked reporters to repeat their questions during a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron. Additionally, a bruise on the back of Trump’s hand recently sparked concerns, though no official explanation was provided.
Since returning to the White House for his second term in January, Trump has made several significant policy changes, particularly in his approach to the Ukraine war, which has marked a stark departure from the previous Biden administration. Despite the controversies and health speculations, Trump remains a polarizing figure, with his actions and physical condition continuing to draw intense scrutiny from both supporters and critics.
As the video circulates and the debate rages on, it remains to be seen whether Trump or his team will provide further clarification about his health. For now, the incident serves as yet another example of how every aspect of Trump’s life—whether on the golf course or in the Oval Office—remains under the microscope.
