- Reiner raised medical questions regarding Trump's hand discoloration, acute leg swelling and instances where the president appeared to fall asleep during public events.
- The White House dismissed the concerns, with spokesman Davis Ingle calling the speculation political and asserting that Trump remains sharp and energetic.
- Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, maintained that the president is fully fit to serve, attributing symptoms to routine conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency and daily aspirin use.
- A Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 55 percent of U.S. adults believe Trump is not in good enough physical health to serve effectively as president.
