New Year, same familiar Donald Trump. Today, he is expressing frustration over ongoing discussions about his health. Being the second oldest individual to hold the presidential office, the concerns are not unwarranted, especially when considering the circumstances of the oldest president’s departure due to health reasons.

Amidst his controversial social media interactions with foreign governments and wavering stance on tariffs, it appears that Donald Trump has not embraced any noticeable New Year’s resolutions. His actions in 2026 mirror those of the previous year, demonstrating a consistent approach.

In an attempt to address health-related doubts, Donald Trump participated in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. However, rather than alleviating concerns, the interview seemed to have the opposite effect.

During the interview, Trump revealed that he had undergone a CT scan instead of an MRI. He also disclosed his use of compression socks to manage lower leg swelling, although he discontinued their use due to personal preference. Furthermore, he discussed his aspirin consumption, admitting to exceeding his doctors’ recommendations out of superstition and habit, raising questions about his health practices.

Contrary to reports suggesting he falls asleep during meetings, Trump clarified that it is merely a matter of occasional blinking that may be misconstrued in photos. This assertion is somewhat perplexing given his extensive experience in media.

Expressing irritation at the public scrutiny of his health, Trump initiated an impromptu call to the Wall Street Journal to address the issue once more. Additionally, he shared anecdotes about sustaining a hand injury during a high five and carrying makeup for concealing bruises from forceful handshakes.

Recent developments also highlight Trump’s decision to postpone a significant tariff increase on furniture, maintaining existing tariffs on certain items. This decision, announced through an executive order, reflects his administration’s efforts to balance trade relations and safeguard domestic industries.

In international affairs, tensions between Trump and Iranian officials escalated, with mutual threats exchanged amidst economic protests in Iran. Trump’s warning to intervene if peaceful protestors are harmed further heightens the geopolitical tensions between the two nations.

As the political landscape evolves, Trump’s interactions and decisions continue to shape the narrative, garnering both support and criticism from various quarters.
