Trump's physical 'decline' said to be made clear in Davos: 'Like Frankenstein's monster'
President Donald Trump made waves this week with his address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he floated and later walked back threats to take over Greenland, but some eagle-eyed observers were instead fixated on the 79-year-old president’s physical appearance, which journalist Peter Rothpletz noted Friday appeared to be in sharp “decline.”
“Trump is all but indistinguishable from a ‘fresh-bitten’ extra straight out of makeup on the set of ‘The Walking Dead,’” Rothpletz wrote in an analysis published Friday in Zeteo.
“The commander in chief looks like a copper-toned corpse… like Frankenstein’s Monster after a long weekend of boozing in Palm Springs.”
Trump appeared in Davos sporting some severe bruising on his left hand, a bruise that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said was caused by hitting his hand “in the corner of the signing table.” While an analysis by MS NOW found no evidence supporting Leavitt’s explanation, Trump’s fresh bruise is just the latest in a series of increasingly frequent signs of the president’s potential health struggles.
Trump has been spotted frequently with bruising on his right hand – which Leavitt has said was caused by Trump “shaking hands all day” – and when bruising first appeared on his left hand, the White House blamed it on the president’s daily aspirin use. The president has also sparked health concerns over his swollen ankles, increasing instances of rambling during speeches, and his MRI scan that has yet to be explained in full.
“Now, no one knows what to believe as Trump may seemingly soon have enough spots across his person to rival the 101 Dalmatians,” Rothpletz wrote.
“What’s clear, though, is that the orange man isn’t well. Apologies to the woke crowd circa 2018, but it isn’t a war crime to observe the objective reality that Donald J. Trump is a corpulent, decaying blob of a human whose jowls daily increase in size, whose vocabulary decreases apace, and whose eyes can’t stay open in public meetings.”
