Donald Trump may have suffered a "seizure" after he was seen making involuntary movements on live television, according to a top health expert who claims the US President's days could be numbered following his defeat in the midterm elections.
Claims of Involuntary Movements
Adam James, a geriatric physical therapist who goes by 'epistemiccrisis' on Instagram, regularly comments on Trump's health issues. In a recently shared clip, James gave his view of Trump "grappling with a helmet" in front of a crowd of workers.
In the footage, the President is seen chatting with construction workers and autographing hard hats before briefly making exaggerated arm gestures, with his mouth agape.
Medication Concerns
"All of a sudden throughout both of his arms and shoulders there is involuntary movement," said James, who commands a following of 1.5 million on the social media platform. "At the same time his mouth flies open. Then he goes on like nothing's happened."
James suggested two possible reasons for the episode: Trump is taking anti-psychotic medicine by IV, which is why his hands are bruised, and he is also taking anti-seizure medications by IV because antipsychotics lower the threshold for synchronous firing of neurons in the brain, which causes a seizure. He noted it is rare for both types of medications to be taken at the same time.
Risk of Increased Symptoms
Given Trump's "complex medical history," the two medications can increase the symptoms of strokes, heart attacks and pneumonia. James added that Trump may be suffering from Akathisia, a condition in dementia patients characterised by intense restlessness and the need to stay in motion.
"All this to say," concluded James, "Is that his 'logging off point' [death] could be days away. The end is near."
The claims come after Trump was delivered a historic defeat by voters in the recent US midterms, with Democrats seizing both chambers of Congress in what was dubbed a "blue wave," leaving Trump with all the presidential power of a lame duck.
