Donald Trump Fuels Health Concerns as He Smacks His Leg 3 Times and Grips Handrail to Cautiously Descend Air Force One Steps: Watch

Donald Trump is continuing to fuel concerns about his health.

On Saturday, December 20, the president was seen departing Air Force Once after touching down in Florida, but social media users noticed he looked more cautious than usual as he walked down the plane's steps.

Before Trump, 79, even began walking down the steps, he oddly hit his right leg three times. He then gripped the handrail tightly before gingerly making his way down.

People on X were quick to comment on the video clip, with one joking, "I wish he concentrated on the economy like he concentrated on going down those stairs."

Many thought the video indicated he's having health issues, with one person declaring, "That’s a stroke patient."

"It is not his leg he is touching, but he is trying to get life back into his hand," another individual claimed. "I have seen this before on old people, of which I am one, and either he has had a stroke at one point or he has nerve damage in his hand."

Others defended his actions and thought it was in line for someone of the president's age.

"He's perfectly fine..." said one supporter. "And for slapping hip with hand, I often do this if I just remembered some good stuff is waiting for me, like some internal applause and cheer, so he is satisfied and okay."

"Actually a 79 year old walking like that is beyond normal when your leg falls asleep on flights you smack it to wake up," added a second X user.

Other physical health woes include his tendency to fall asleep at public events and his bruised hand, which he covers with makeup. The bruising could be a symptom of chronic venous insufficiency, which he was diagnosed with over the summer.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said it's a "benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70." The Cleveland Clinic described it as when "veins can’t manage blood flow as well as they should," so it’s harder for blood in your legs to return to your heart.

As OK! reported, Trump has also been accused of enduring a mental decline due to his rambling speeches and odd tangents. While some believe he's exhibiting signs of dementia, the businessman and his doctor have insisted he's in good shape mentally, with Trump repeatedly boasting about his MRI results.
