Rumors regarding Donald Trump's health have been swirling.

This comes as Trump appearances during his Asia this past week have been widely scrutinized.

Many in the media and online have been expressing concerns about the commander-in-chief's ability to lead as he's been spewing nonsense in addresses and on Truth Social, as well as looking confused.

MSNBC host Chris Hayes spoke about the concerns surrounding the president's alleged decline during his Wednesday, October 29, monologue on All In With Chris Hayes.

"Trump is, I hate to remind you, a 79-year-old man, who appears to have some visible issues getting around alone on his overseas tour this week."

The news program then aired a viral clip of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi guiding Trump around Tokyo’s Akasaka Palace.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon also referenced the embarrassing clip on his show on Tuesday, October 28.

The journalist compared Trump to an uncle who "gets a little too lit at the cookout."

Lemon also took time to call out Trump's inner circle, whom he claims are "too scared" to "admit that it's over."

Lemon said, "All this concern about Biden, what about Trump now?"

He continued, "Instead of pulling him aside, they keep putting him out there. That’s not loyalty. That’s using somebody."

Trump's former aide Alyssa Farah Griffin also said the POTUS "is not as sharp as he was in 2016."

"Listen, he's never been a super articulate or eloquent person, but he's consistently missing up — uh, mixing up names of heads of state," Griffin said. "He's mixing up names like Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley. I mean, this is...it's gotten worse, it hasn't gotten better."
