One of President Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters raged at The Daily Beast on Wednesday after the outlet published a story about a strange hand twitch that President Donald Trump suffered while boarding Air Force One.
Trump was climbing the stairs to the presidential plane when his left hand made an abrupt, jerking motion. A video of the incident was shared on social media, where several commentators chimed in about the president’s poor health.
When the Daily Beast approached the White House for comment about the video, Stephen Cheung, Trump’s communications chief, raged in response.
“You must be f—— blind or stupid, because that was a perfect walk!” Cheung told the outlet.
At age 80, President Trump has faced ongoing health concerns. Observers noted he appeared “totally spent” after traveling from a UFC event to the G7 Summit in France. Critics reported concerns about potential mental decline following press conferences. Additional physical observations include visible rashes and marks on his hands, raising questions about his overall health and stamina while serving as president.
