- The same outlet quotes an associate claiming occasional memory lapses, though these cognitive concerns have not been independently corroborated.
- Recent footage of Trump exiting a golf cart at Mar-a-Lago and dragging his right leg has renewed public scrutiny of his gait and stability.
- Mainstream outlets summarizing the RadarOnline claims note they have not verified the assertions, and the White House has not issued new diagnostic details beyond prior statements.
