A video of President Donald Trump walking funny has fueled speculation that he is struggling with his health.

Footage filmed at the White House last week shows Trump walking alongside his 9-year-old grandson Theodore Kushner, his eldest daughter Ivanka Trump’s youngest child.

In the clip, they walk past the recently installed Presidential Walk of Fame in the West Wing, but Trump, 79, at times appears to be shuffling and unable to walk in a straight line.

Highlights
  • Video shows President Trump walking unevenly with his grandson, sparking public health concerns after visible shuffling and limping.
  • Trump underwent an MRI at Walter Reed, but did not disclose the reason; doctors reportedly gave him perfect results despite rumors.
  • Social media users and critics link Trump’s walk to possible dementia or joint problems, fueling ongoing health speculation.

    His limp quickly gained attention on social media, with the footage posted on X being viewed millions of times so far after it was uploaded over the weekend.

    Republicans Against Trump shared the footage, writing, “Yeah… this really looks like someone who just had a ‘very standard’ MRI. Totally.”

    “Trump’s walk would demand a breathalyzer under other circumstances,” one user commented.

    Another added, “You can really see the right leg swing clearly in this video, but those sorts of things can be related to bad joints as well as being a signal of dementia.”


    The clip was filmed after Trump was photographed throwing an NFL football back and forth with his grandson in the halls of the White House.

    It comes amid rumors surrounding the president’s health after he revealed to reporters last month that he had undergone an MRI at Walter Reed Military Medical Center.

    He also appeared to confuse the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), which is designed to detect early dementia, with a test to measure IQ.

    While Trump did not disclose why he had undergone an MRI scan, he said that doctors had given him “perfect” results.

    October’s visit to Walter Reed was the second time this year that Trump attended the facility for testing.

    Also fueling speculation around his health were Trump’s recent comments about Democrats who urged U.S. troops to refuse to follow illegal orders.

    Last week, a furious Trump posted on Truth Social and appeared to suggest that the six Democrats with military and intelligence experience should be handed the death penalty.

    His comments came in response to a video posted by Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, in collaboration with Representatives Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Jason Crow.

    In the minute-long clip, they urged service members to uphold the Constitution and refuse to carry out illegal orders.

    “Seditious behavior, punishable by DEATH,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

    Several of those Democrats have since received death threats, and the incident led to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez questioning Trump’s health.

    AOC described Trump’s behavior as “not just shocking” but “bizarre,” “erratic,” and “volatile.”

    “I think it indicates a mental state that we should all be questioning right now,” she told reporters on Friday.

    Also fueling health concerns are the numerous times that Trump has been seen with significant bruising on his hand, often covered by makeup.

    The official White House explanation is that the marks are caused by handshaking and aspirin.

    Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed earlier this year that Trump’s swollen ankles were caused by chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition common in people over the age of 70.

    However, with the president under the spotlight and no reason being given for his recent MRI, speculation surrounding his health continues to rise.

    Hahaha! Sorry, but I had to upvote it. Anything that shows that Trump is in poor physical health is good because it ought to open a few eyes before he drops dead from a stroke, as he appears to be heading toward one. Or I suppose it could be impaired motor function due to his dementia. Again, something that needs to be on full display.
