Fresh fears are erupting over President Donald Trump’s health after a prominent medical expert claimed the 79-year-old leader may have secretly suffered a stroke — and never told the American people.
After months of whispers about Trump’s physical condition and mental sharpness, Dr. Bruce Davidson, a professor at Washington State University’s Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, has publicly laid out what he calls troubling evidence that the president experienced a stroke while in office.
Speaking on The Court of History podcast, Davidson said he believes Trump suffered a stroke affecting the left side of his brain sometime in early 2025 — a medical event he claims was never disclosed.
“I think the stroke was on the left side of the brain, which controls the right side of the body,” Davidson said, estimating it happened at least six months ago.
According to the doctor, a series of alarming physical changes raised red flags. He pointed to video clips showing Trump shuffling his feet — a stark contrast to the confident stride he once displayed on the golf course. Davidson also cited moments where Trump appeared to cradle his right hand with his left, something he described as medically significant.
Speech issues added to the concern. Davidson said Trump appeared to garble words earlier in 2025, behavior he claimed had not been present before. While the president’s speech seems clearer now, the doctor suggested that improvement could point to partial recovery after a neurological event.
Even more unsettling, Davidson highlighted Trump’s apparent excessive daytime sleepiness. The president has been caught on camera with his eyes closed during meetings and public appearances, including a recent Oval Office event where he appeared to briefly nod off. Hypersomnolence, Davidson said, is commonly seen in stroke patients.
Another moment he flagged involved Trump descending the stairs of Air Force One. Despite being right-handed, Trump was seen tightly gripping the railing with his left hand — something Davidson said aligns with weakness or coordination issues following a left-brain stroke.
While the doctor acknowledged Trump appears to have recovered significantly, he maintained that the pattern of symptoms cannot be ignored.
Trump has only intensified speculation himself. The president previously admitted to undergoing multiple MRIs and frequently brags about acing cognitive tests. He has also been photographed with unexplained bruising on his hands and visibly swollen ankles.
In July 2025, the White House confirmed Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after concerns over his ankles went viral — but questions about his overall health have never gone away.
The president has repeatedly lashed out at reporters who press him on medical issues, insisting he is in top shape. Still, in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump admitted he avoids exercise, prefers junk food, and ignores doctors’ advice about daily aspirin use — habits he said have contributed to bruising.
As Trump continues to dominate headlines, every step, stumble, and public appearance is now being scrutinized — and this explosive new claim is only fueling speculation that the full truth about the president’s health may still be hidden.
LOTS of MAY’s in this article!
Perhaps you should reference a doctor with credentials that afford real credibility not someone who went to an eclectic medical school and works at a community medical school with supposed expertise in pulmonary medicine
Was that Dr. Who?
SHOULD OF WORRIED ABOUT BIDEN THIS MUCH AND WE WOULD OF BEEN RID OF HIM SOONER!!
My belief is Dr. Bruce Davidson has suffered an event of unprofessional conduct. His ethics need review and consequential results for his personal observations. Dr. Davidson may have suffered a sudden case of DTS and shared a diagnosis not sought by the Trump family nor the GOP.
Great way to get sued
