Conflicting readings from physicians

White House doctor Sean Barbarella has repeatedly reported that Trump shows excellent cognitive and physical health, while also noting issues such as scarring to his right ear from the 2024 assassination attempt, diverticulosis and a benign colon polyp. Barbarella said swollen ankles were due to chronic venous insufficiency and blamed some bruising on handshakes and aspirin.

Experts demand transparency

Outside physicians have challenged those explanations, saying visible fatigue, bruising and swelling invite questions and that more openness would calm the public. Veteran doctors warned age remains the top concern as debate over the president’s true condition continues.
