Overview
- A short clip posted on X shows the president walking with his 9-year-old grandson, Theodore Kushner, along the White House Presidential Walk of Fame over the weekend.
- Viewers noted he appeared unsteady and seemed to drag one leg, with the video drawing nearly a million views and a flurry of comments and nicknames.
- Some social media users questioned whether he uses a prosthesis, while others joked about his gait and suggested he looked off balance.
- Clinical psychologist John Gartner, speaking on The Dean Obeidallah Show, described a recurring right leg swing he and other clinicians view as consistent with frontotemporal dementia, though this reflects opinion rather than a diagnosis.
- The president maintains he is in good health, a position the White House links to his most recent physical exam, and no official medical finding has been released.
