Donald Trump has made a rare acknowledgment of his health, admitting he 'has to be careful' when walking. The 79-year-old former president, in an interview with CNBC's Joe Kernen on Tuesday, criticised Joe Biden's walking ability while also revealing his own cautious approach to mobility.
Trump's Comments on Walking
Trump claimed that Biden 'couldn't walk up a flight of stairs' and was 'falling all over the place'. He then explained his own caution, stating that if he were to trip or fall, it would be a significant event. 'I have to be careful,' Trump said. He added that he walks 'nice and slowly' when exiting planes to avoid setting 'speed records' and potential falls.
Rare Health Admission
The admission is notable as Trump has often avoided discussing his health in detail. During his presidency and campaign, he frequently touted his physical fitness and energy levels. This latest comment suggests a more cautious stance as he approaches his 80s.
Trump's remarks come amid ongoing speculation about the health of both major party candidates for the upcoming presidential election. Biden, 81, has also faced questions about his fitness for office, though his campaign has released medical reports indicating he is in good health.
In the interview, Trump did not provide further specifics about any medical conditions or concerns. He simply emphasised the need to avoid falls, which can be particularly dangerous for older adults.
