There are still rumors that Donald Trump’s physical and mental health are deteriorating, and a new incident has brought attention to the possibility that the president may not be doing well. He appeared momentarily disoriented during a bill signing event on Thursday and failed to identify a person standing directly next to him, both of which are signs of poor cognitive health.
According to the Irish Star, Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that aims to expand his council on nutrition, sports, and fitness. It also reinstates a fitness test for kids that was previously abandoned.
Several professional athletes who will serve on the White House Sports Council accompanied him at this event.
Triple H will be a member of the council, which will be led by professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, the Chief Content Officer of WWE. The Irish Star said that former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who is also a registered sex offender, and kicker Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs will be among the other members.
Trump looked at Triple H and called him an incredible athlete and his lifelong friend as he introduced each member who would be joining the group and gave a quick overview of their professional accomplishments.
But after that, he appeared to lose sight of Triple H, who was standing directly beside him, and searched the room for him. Before this awkward and worrisome moment occurred, he also stumbled over his words, which prompted internet users to label it Trump’s senile moment.

Trump appears obese and exhausted, according to one X user. Compared to what the White House stated a few weeks ago, I believe he is sicker. OMFG, another one was added. That’s perhaps the most obvious indication that he’s losing it that I’ve seen. Oh no! “Eight seconds from the first time he looked at him to where the hell is he?” asked a third user. It’s true that dementia exists!
It is important to mention that Mary Trump, Trump’s niece, has been outspoken about her uncle’s deteriorating mental health. She even claimed that Trump’s condition has gotten so poor that he is unable to tie his own shoelace. However, Trump and his administration have consistently said that he is doing well and have never recognized any such thing.
Additionally, press secretary Karoline Leavitt stayed silent about the embarrassing scenario that Trump caused, preferring to concentrate on the event itself. She stated in a statement to CNN that President Trump wants all young Americans to have the chance to prioritize active, healthy lifestyles, fostering a culture of greatness and strength for years to come.
These adjustments are being made in preparation for the US hosting the 2028 Summer Olympics and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
