President Donald Trump is in another controversy as he was seen having a hard time walking down the ramp after giving a speech at West Point Military Academy in New York. Critics seem to suggest that he has Parkinson's disease, which he vehemently denies.
Donald Trump just shrugged off the unfounded rumors about his alleged poor health. The speculations about his wellbeing began when he struggled to walk down a ramp and held a cup of water with both hands.
In an interview with Wall Street Journal, Melania Trump's husband said that after staying at the event for two hours, all he got was publicity about "walking down the ramp." He then denied that he had Parkinson's disease.
He explained that he was only cautious while walking wearing leather-bottom shoes. He even bragged that he ran down the last ten feet.
The 74-year-old also hit back at the talks about the "ramp-gate" on Twitter, pointing that the ramp he descended was "very long and steep." It had no handrail to guide him and was also very slippery.
If there was one thing that he avoided to do, he said it was to "fall" for the fake news. However, Donald Trump never mentioned the shoes that he said he was wearing at the time. But he told a reporter that he could show it if they like.
According to Mirror Online, age and health may likely be the main topic of the upcoming Presidential election later this year. The 45th President was the oldest presidential aspirant who got elected in the White House for a first term. His current competitor, Joe Biden, is now 77.
Before he was elected, a personal physician wrote a letter that said he would be the "healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency." However, the doctor later revealed to New York Times that the former television personality only dictated what he wrote at the time. His health was also seen to be a "fair game" to the Democrats after he called out Joe Biden's wellbeing.
Donald Trump tweeted that his rival was "weak and shot." He even called Joe Biden "Sleepy Joe," who did not know where he was, what he was doing, and did not even know what office he was running for.
Earlier this month, the White House released the result of Donald Trump's annual physical check-up. From the looks of it, his health has not changed over the past year despite the rumors.
