Trump is 'seen very little' and could be 'sicker than he lets on': ex-White House insider
An analyst Friday pointed out that President Donald Trump has made fewer public appearances over the past several weeks as questions over his health have continued to increase.
Brian Karem, Salon's White House columnist, described how Trump has boasted that Washington, D.C. is booming, but Karem returned this week after being away and found "a city without its energy" — comparing that to Trump's recent behavior.
"And while the District seems tired, Trump seems more so," Karem wrote. "It doesn’t even seem like the president is trying his hardest to lie to us anymore. He just repeats the same lies with less energy, as if he too has grown weary of his own rhetoric. He’s telling us to turn the page on the Epstein scandal. But he’s on that next page too."
Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, but did not hold a press conference or speak to press following the meeting like he typically does. Instead he posted on his Truth Social platform.
And his "lethargic" demeanor was noticeable the next day, Karem explained.
"It was a low-energy Trump who showed up on Thursday in the Roosevelt Room with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin to announce he was repealing the federal government’s authority to regulate climate change," Karem wrote.
Questions surrounding Trump's health have continued throughout his first year in office.
“'I think he’s running out of steam,' a few of my D.C. happy hour comrades confessed Wednesday after the hearings, 'Or he’s really sicker than he lets on,'" Karem wrote.
"Since the National Rifle Association rebuked his statement about confiscating guns following the killing of Alex Pretti by federal officers in Minneapolis, Trump has been seen very little. Maybe it’s just the politics," Karem added.
