James Carville Questions Trump's Health After Heated Exchange with Zelenskyy
The Democratic strategist speculates on the president's mental state and health following a contentious Oval Office meeting with the Ukrainian leader.
- Democratic strategist James Carville criticized President Donald Trump's behavior during a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office on Friday.
- The meeting reportedly escalated when Zelenskyy criticized the U.S. for insufficient action against Russia, leading Trump to warn of the risk of 'World War III.'
- Carville speculated that Trump's behavior might stem from cognitive decline, poor health, or even an undiagnosed medical condition, including syphilis, though he emphasized he was 'just asking questions.'
- The White House attributed a bruise on Trump's hand, which Carville referenced in his comments, to frequent handshaking with Americans, dismissing speculation about its significance.
- The meeting delayed the signing of a U.S.-Ukraine mineral deal, with Zelenskyy later stating he remained open to negotiations pending clarity on U.S. security guarantees.
