Donald Trump is in Alaska to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the war in Ukraine, but is already worrying onlookers due to his inability to walk in a straight line
Donald Trump raised eyebrows the moment he disembarked from his aircraft in Alaska but not for the reason you may expect. The 79-year-old President is holding talks with Vladimir Putin regarding the Ukraine conflict.
He maintains he “won’t be happy” unless a ceasefire deal is reached. Yet observers are already questioning whether he can accomplish his goal. That’s because he appears to be having difficulty maintaining a steady gait.
Social media users flocked to X to express their concerns about the US leader. One observed: “Trump can’t even walk straight.”
Another commented: “Trump looks drunk… can’t walk in a straight line. Is zig-zagging all over the place.” A third noted: “Trump almost fell off that carpet. He can’t walk in a straight line.”
And a fourth inquired: “What the hell is wrong with Trump’s walk? He can’t walk in a straight line on the red carpet when he met Putin in Alaska, but staggered like he was drunk. Retirement home next!”
Earlier this year, Donald Trump received a diagnosis of “chronic venous insufficiency” from a White House medical professional.
This condition can cause symptoms such as skin issues, swelling and bloated ankles, which could be impacting Trump’s walking ability.
Last month, the physician stated: “In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit.
“The president underwent a comprehensive examination including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity venous doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency.
“A benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”
Trump’s goal for this meeting is to facilitate a deal and create a path for Russia and Ukraine to move forward, hopefully toward a ceasefire.
But the results of the discussions currently remain unclear. After the summit wraps up, the world leaders will hold a joint press conference.
