Questions mount about Donald Trump’s health as he’s seen in golf cart while other G7 leaders walk
During the course of Donald Trump’s overseas trip, Palmer Report has been documenting a series of incidents which suggest that his physical and mental health may be in the midst of collapse. He sounded winded during his speech in Saudi Arabia, and ended up reading the wrong words off the Teleprompter. He canceled a number of meetings and events in Saudi Arabia and Israel. He got up and wandered off with a blank look on his face during a joint press conference. And now comes what might be the most surreal scene of the trip yet.
When the other G7 leaders decided to take a stroll through the streets of Italy today, major British news outlet The Times reports that Donald Trump was brought along behind them in a golf cart (link). The implication is rather clear: Trump can no longer even walk more than a short distance.
As the questions about Donald Trump’s health have mounted during the overseas trip, it’s worth keeping in mind that they’re nothing new. During the campaign, Trump refused to release his medical records, instead asking the public to believe an absurdly hyperbolic letter written about him by a gastroenterologist. Trump also spent the campaign falsely accusing Hillary Clinton of having health and stamina problems, and considering his consistent history of projection, this suggested that he was trying to distract from hidden health issues of his own.
We continue to question why major U.S. news outlets have declined to report on the mounting number of incidents during this overseas trip which have pointed to escalating problems with Donald Trump’s health and well being, even as the matter becomes more alarming by the day. We call on them to begin reporting on this matter accurately. If you’re a regular reader of Palmer Report, feel free to make a contribution.
