US President Donald Trump’s health has once again sparked significant concern after a physical therapist indicated the American leader, nearing 80, may have suffered a “stroke-like event”.
In a post to his Instagram page yesterday (June 5), Adam James, who creates content as @epistemiccrisis and specializes in geriatrics, stated: “Don Snorleone had a stroke on camera yesterday.” James then provided a detailed, point-by-point medical-style examination of Trump’s recent public appearance at an Oval Office press briefing on “clean coal” on Thursday (June 4). It comes after Trump had a meltdown and stormed out of the interview for a crazy reason.
James, who possesses a doctorate in his field with 14 years of professional experience, argued that Trump suffered a “stroke-like event or a stroke on camera” after the president remained largely out of public view for six days, from May 27 to June 3. “He suffered a stroke and they were trying to get him to recover enough to go back on camera,” James said. He further explained: “Number one is this posture”, reports the Irish Star.
“I’ve had so many stroke patients over the years that the stroke has affected the strength and the tone of the muscles on one side of their trunk and they cannot maintain upright posture. But when he’s very fatigued and falling asleep, he’s going to lean to one side.”
The content creator continued: “That right there was the worst instance of expressive aphasia, a common symptom of left sided stroke on the left side of the brain where your language centers are, I have ever seen from him to date. Did you hear him mumble through those words?

“And then he follows it up with ‘good’, he reaches for a very simple word because he knows ‘I can’t talk right now’. Expressive aphasia is different from phonemic paraphasia which is a typical dementia symptom but he got dementia and a history of stroke.
“So it’s kind of tough to tell sometimes, but that sounded like expressive aphasia. Now, in this next clip, I want you to watch his jaw slightly shift left and right.
“The more that his jaw shifts to his right, the more asleep he is because he has a right-sided facial droop from a history of stroke. And his jaw is becoming weaker and more slack-jawed also because of dementia.
“But you can literally see his jaw slip in and out of awake, asleep, awake, asleep. I am so delighted because this is the worst I have ever seen him.”

James concluded: “And I can’t wait for it to get worse. At this point, he’s on 43 days of borrowed time.” In the video James examined, Trump was taking part in an official administration event focused on deregulation and environmental policy, with specific emphasis on “clean coal”.
During the briefing, Trump spoke to reporters before passing the floor to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin.
As Burgum and Zeldin gave their presentations, Trump leaned back in his seat and appeared to close his eyes, with social media users claiming he looked like he was falling asleep.
There has never been official confirmation that Trump has suffered a stroke, dementia or any other neurological disorder, despite persistent speculation on the internet.
The White House and Trump’s physicians have repeatedly rejected such claims, saying public conjecture is not supported by medical evidence.
It comes after the daughter of Trump’s doctor made a bombshell claim about his health.
