Donald Trump’s recent live TV appearance has raised concerns about his health due to a reported “memory lapse.” During an event for Women’s History Month at the White House, the 79-year-old US President mistakenly referred to Kellyanne Conway, former Senior Counsellor to the President, as his current press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.

Addressing the audience, Trump expressed gratitude towards Conway, praising her efforts and resilience against media scrutiny. However, viewers noted the mix-up, with one social media user questioning the confusion between Leavitt and Conway.

This incident is not the first time doubts have been cast on Trump’s health. At a recent Medal of Honour ceremony, he displayed a dark red discoloration on his neck and hands, causing further speculation. The White House physician clarified that the discoloration was due to a prescribed skin treatment and was expected to fade over time.

Additionally, Trump faced scrutiny for appearing to stumble and slur his words during the ceremony, sparking more questions about his well-being. Concerns were also raised about bruising on his hands, with explanations ranging from frequent handshaking to aspirin usage.

Despite these issues, Trump admitted to taking more aspirin than recommended by his doctors, citing superstitious reasons for not reducing his intake. Observers also noted peculiarities in his attire, with discussions on social media about possible padding in his suits, adding to the speculation surrounding his health.
