Amid the rumours of his declining health, US President Donald Trump showed a hint of Alzheimer's as he forgot what day it was while making a post on his social media. He was confused about the Labour Day weekend. "DC is virtually, in just 14 days, a CRIME FREE ZONE. The people living and working there are ecstatic!!! President DJT," the American president wrote on Truth Social on Saturday (August 30). Moreover, the post was reshared by the White House on X.

The next day, Trump made another post on Truth Social saying, "DC IS NOW A CRIME FREE ZONE, IN JUST 12 DAYS!!! President DJT."

Trump's health rumours


Initially, several reports noted that the American president was absent for six consecutive days from major global events. Also, he limited his communication to social media posts.

This was accompanied by a photo of Trump showing a bruise on his hand. And that's what triggered online speculation about his health. Reacting to this, the White House claimed that Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, which causes leg swelling. While the condition is typically harmless, it can cause complications.

Trump's doctor, Dr. Sean Barbabella, attributed his bruising to "minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.” The doctor added that the President "remains in excellent health."
