Lumps in Trump's Pants Revive Health Concerns as Speculation of 'Leg Braces' Grows Days After Tumbling Up Stairs
The latest theory circulating online about President Donald Trump's health suggests he may be wearing leg braces, based on a photo taken just days after he stumbled while ascending the steps of Air Force One.
An X post shared Monday by the popular account PatriotTakes asked, "What's going on here?" and included a series of photos showing what appeared to be hard creases and lines on both of the president's pant legs.
Several social media users suggested the president may be wearing leg braces.
"Exoskeleton leg braces?" one X user questioned.
"Those are leg braces to stabilize him. It's why he never wears shorts anymore," another added.
Meanwhile, some users also speculated the lines might indicate the presence of a catheter.
"Leg braces. And it appeared as though he had a catheter in as well," an X user suggested.
"Double cathed up!" another guessed.
Others sought to quell the conspiracy theorists, saying that the creases in Trump's pants offered no insight into his health.
"Those are called pants. You're welcome," an X user wrote.
The conjecture emerged days after Trump was filmed stumbling up the stairs of the Air Force One, a misstep for which former President Joe Biden was frequently criticized by MAGA supporters. In Trump's case, however, many of his own supporters were quick to defend him, emphasizing that the White House doctor gave him a clean bill of health in April.
For now, the mystery of the president's pant creases remains unresolved.

GOP Senator Ridiculed for Insisting Americans 'Transitioning From Medicaid' Will Get Insurance From Employers: 'Do Employers Know?'
A Republican Senator is being ridiculed online for stating that the millions of people that will be removed from Medicaid if President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" passes will then transition to employer-provided healthcare. Oklahoma Senator James Lankford appeared on CNBC's 'Squawk Box' in conversation with host Rebecca Quick on Thursday, where he discussed the potential impacts of the Trump-back GOP spending bill. "People are screaming and saying, 'It's kicking people off Medicaid.' It's not kicking people off Medicaid. It's transitioning from Medicaid to employer-provided healthcare. So yes, we've got 10 million people that are not gonna be on Medicaid, but they then are gonna be on employer-provided healthcare," said Lankford. Social media users reacted incredulously, mocking Lankford for assuming that millions of people would immediately have access to employer provided healthcare options. "Do the employers who don't provide health insurance know??" said one user. "Except when your minimum wage job has no healthcare," said another. "So it's kicking people off medicaid," wrote a third. "That's IF the employer provides healthcare that is affordable! These are working poor who live paycheck to paycheck and have little left to afford healthcare!" concurred a fourth. Lankford, who is a member of the Finance Committee, met with Trump to discuss the tax and spending bill on Wednesday. He continued to outline what exactly legislators discussed with Trump in the meeting. "About a two hour conversation about what's happening on taxes, what are agreements going to be, what direction we're going to try and take. It was broad in many areas. The House has already passed their piece, the Senate has got to pass our piece then that's going to line up with the House and the President has got to sign. It's very important that we align all three right now, so it was a coordination meeting yesterday quite frankly," said Lankford. Originally published on Latin Times

Trump's Cognitive 'Decline' Suggests He 'Might Not Make It Through Four Years,' Republican Strategist Says
A Republican strategist warned that President Donald Trump's accelerating "cognitive decline" could prevent him from completing his second term. In an interview with Times Radio, Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson claimed Trump is no longer the same political force seen during his previous campaigns, saying his speech, memory, and coherence have visibly deteriorated. "He is incoherent," Wilson said. "His inability to articulate any thought or position without constant asides, constant lapses... this is not the Trump of 2015, nor is he the Trump of 2020. He's not even the Trump of 2024." gun pixabay Wilson pointed to verbal lapses and behavioral patterns that, he says, mirror early signs of dementia. While acknowledging he's not a medical professional, he alleged many neurological experts see troubling similarities. Despite these concerns, the White House physician, Captain Sean Barbabella, issued a clean bill of health in April, stating Trump "exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health." Wilson, however, argued that Trump's age and long-standing health habits cast doubts over his ability to withstand the grueling demands of the presidency through 2029. "He's a guy who's subsisted off of McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken and well done steaks for a very long time," he said. "He is not a healthy guy." "Whether he makes it through four years is an open question," Wilson said. "Given the pace of the decline that we've seen...I think he'll be pretty much checked out by the middle of this second term." The president has consistently dismissed concerns about his health, frequently boasting about passing cognitive tests. "I don't know that he's going to ever be told by anyone, 'Sir you're not healthy, you can't do this anymore,'" Wilson said, predicting internal strife on the horizon. "But I think by the end of this, you're going to be in a civil war with the MAGAs to choose a successor." The speculation follows not only scrutiny of Trump's cognitive aptitude, but bombshell reports of former President Joe Biden's cognitive decline toward the end of his term, and of efforts taken to conceal his diminishing mental acuity from the public.
