A medical professor claims that the President of the United States Donald Trump Trump, who may have suffered a stroke during his second term, cited a pattern of neurological symptoms he had observed in public appearances.
Dr. Bruce Davidson, a professor at Washington State University’s Elson Floyd School of Medicine, made the comments during a discussion on The Daily Beast podcast.
Dr Davidson said his explanation was based on observations of Trump’s physical behavior and speech patterns over time. “Earlier this year, there was a video of him shuffling, which I thought was weird,” he said on the podcast.
He believes this movement pattern can sometimes be seen in patients recovering from strokes.

Claims movement and speech changes
During the same discussion, Dr. Davidson noted that Trump was holding his right hand with his left hand, saying this could be a sign of weakness on one side of the body, which may be associated with stroke patients.
He also pointed to earlier speech patterns, saying Trump seemed to be more noticeably “garbled” with his speech at times earlier this year, though he noted that seemed less evident in recent appearances.

The US “Mirror” report also quoted CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner as saying that he had previously expressed concern about Trump’s apparent insomnia. Davidson said sleep disruption can sometimes occur after a neurological event, including a stroke, but stressed his comments were based on observation rather than a diagnosis.
The White House denies the claim

The administration has also previously addressed unrelated health speculation, including apparent bruises on Trump’s hands that were caused by frequent handshakes. Trump later said the bruises were related to his taking aspirin.
Recent physical examination
Trump recently visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center During a routine physical examination, he later stated that “everything checked out perfect.”
At a Cabinet meeting earlier this year, Trump said he had taken the cognitive test three times and had “scored well” each time. “One doctor said, ‘I’ve never seen anyone recover,'” Trump claimed.
