The White House has claimed that the bruises are the result of Trump\u2019s excessive handshaking. However, the dark marks have at times been prominent on the backs of both hands, fueling speculation about what else may be obscured from public view. <\/p>\n<p>An April poll conducted by Washington Post\/ABC News\/Ipsos found that fewer than half of U.S. adults believe Trump has the mental sharpness or physical health to serve effectively as president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration when Democrats and the legacy media intentionally covered up Joe Biden\u2019s serious mental and physical decline from the American people,\u201d White House spokesman Davis Ingle has previously told the Daily Beast.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1405\">White House Braces for a Potential Birthday Party Spoiler<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump is the sharpest and most accessible president in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises, and he remains in excellent health.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Times reported on Sunday that Trump at times arrives at the Oval Office as late as 11 a.m. While the president\u2019s days often run long, a 15-page schedule reviewed by the paper suggests that Trump\u2019s days are often unstructured and erratic, with meetings running over as he rambles and goes off topic.<\/p>\n<p>One member of Trump\u2019s inner circle told the Times that the president has appeared \u201cmore tired than usual\u201d as of late, raising his late-night Truth Social tirades as a potential factor. In June, a Daily Beast analysis found that Trump\u2019s 861 posts and reposts in May were his most ever in a single month this term. <\/p>\n<p>In response, the White House told the Daily Beast that Truth Social \u201chas never been hotter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American people have never had a president as transparent as President Trump, who shares his thoughts with them in real time on all the important issues of the day,\u201d White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump is a one-of-a-kind leader who has his finger on the pulse of the people better than any of his predecessors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There could, perhaps, be another reason why Trump\u2019s aides are hellbent on shutting down any discussion of the president\u2019s age: Trump himself. Publicly and privately, the president has recoiled at mentions of his own age.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI just wanted to wish you a happy birthday,\u201d the president said in a video to Dr. Mehmet Oz, who turned 66 on Wednesday. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to wish me a happy birthday, because I\u2019m not happy about that birthday. It\u2019s a number that I never thought really too much about. It\u2019s not a number I like, but I\u2019m here nonetheless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1403\">80 Things That Octo-Trump Has Ruined for Everyone<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of Donald Trump\u2019s inner circle are scrambling to explain away his increasingly public lapses as he enters his ninth decade.
