Donald Trump displayed mysterious red marks on his hand as he headed to court in New York City to witness his rape accuser, E. Jean Carroll, testify.
The former president returned to New York after a campaign rally in New Hampshire, capping off a hectic 24 hours since winning the Iowa caucuses.
On Wednesday morning, Trump left Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan with visible red cuts on his hand, a stark contrast to his energetic appearance alongside former 2024 GOP hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy in New Hampshire.
Also, recent footage showed Trump looking worn out, dragging his right leg while walking during the Iowa campaign.
These occurrences have ignited concerns about his health, prompting questions about whether the demands on the 77-year-old are taking a toll. Facing legal battles, safeguarding his business, and pursuing a return to the White House have led to a demanding schedule – from celebrating the Iowa caucus victory on Monday night to appearing in the courtroom for the E. Jean Carroll sex trial in Manhattan on Tuesday. Trump then flew to New Hampshire for a campaign stop for next week’s primaries, returned to Trump Tower, and again attended the court proceedings on Wednesday.
The typically energetic and charismatic Republican front-runner seemed unusually frail and unsteady after a busy day of campaigning in Des Moines Saturday evening. Observers also noted a less animated demeanor and a lower voice during his victory speech on Monday night, echoing similar critiques after his 2022 Presidential announcement.
Trump’s third election campaign has been marred by increasing gaffes, including mistaking Barack Obama as the current President and stumbling over city names. Critics have capitalized on these gaffes to counter attacks on President Joe Biden’s age and frailty.
Rumors circulate about Trump’s potential weight loss, possibly attributed to blockbuster weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.
Despite all these concerns, Team Trump has not addressed the mounting questions about his health.
