Donald Trump fiddled with the scissors during the ceremony.

Another user alleged Trump was doing a "sensory grounding technique" to see if "his arm is functioning, and to ground his anxieties."

"You can see he is using it to self-assess, because he rapidly leaves and starts zig-zagging as he pats. One side goes weak, leading him to try to walk in circles," the person continued.

Donald Trump has been seeing falling asleep during meetings in the past.

"People that had a stroke pat their leg while walking primarily to simulate sensory nerves and trigger the brain-to-muscle connection," said another individual. "This action — sometimes referred to as sensory cueing or 'waking up' the leg — helps their brain recognize where the limb is in space and prompts the leg to take a step."

Trump's well-being has been questioned in recent years due to things like the swelling in his legs and falling asleep during official Cabinet meetings.

Donald Trump underwent his annual physical recently.

Despite concerns over the POTUS' health and rumors of him suffering from dementia, he claimed he got an excellent score on the cognitive tests he took earlier this year as part of his annual physical.

“Unlike other U.S. Presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, high difficulty, Cognitive Test, I scored a perfect 30 out of 30, considered ‘extreme intelligence,'” Trump boasted on Truth Social back in May.

"Are the Dumocrats really surprised? In fact, this is my fourth such test, all PERFECT or, 120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked!" he ranted on.

Trump's doctor, Sean Barbabella, released a memo on May 29 where he described the outcome of the physical, writing the politician is "in excellent health" and "demonstrates strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and overall physical function."
