Recent speculation surrounding the former President’s health ahead of the Iowa caucus has stirred controversy, with online comments suggesting he may be experiencing mobility issues in his right leg.
Donald Trump has faced scrutiny from opponents after a video surfaced on social media, depicting him seemingly “dragging his right leg.” Despite no concrete evidence of a health decline, the viral video has fueled discussions about Trump’s well-being. The former president, campaigning for the Monday caucus showdown in freezing Iowa, has long dealt with speculation about his health, often choosing to keep personal medical details private to maintain a certain public image.
In a recent address to Waukee residents, two video clips of Trump have reignited concerns. Anti-Trump accounts reposted the videos, alleging that Trump is dragging his leg in one instance while delivering pizza to firefighters in another, just a day before the Iowa caucus.
One clip, shared on platform X, features Trump delivering eight pizza boxes to members of the Waukee Fire Department.
A Trump supporter with the username “johnny maga” posted the video to his 63K followers, praising the former President’s ability to carry the pizzas effortlessly and making a comparison to President Joe Biden.
The video was later reposted by Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of the independent news network Meidas Touch, who commented that Trump “keeps dragging that right leg.” The reposted video on Filipkowski’s Twitter has been viewed 828,000 times so far.
