Expert Calls Trump's Health a 'Black Box'
Fears for Donald Trump's health have intensified after a co-author of a new biography described the president's condition as a 'black box' inside his administration. Maggie Haberman, who co-wrote Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump with Jonathan Swan, told MSNOW that Trump's health is opaque and may represent a failure in reporting.
The 80-year-old president has faced increased scrutiny over his cognitive and physical abilities following a series of public gaffes and visible bruising and swelling on his hands. Haberman and Swan's book, released last month, claims Trump is nocturnal, unpredictable, and has shown growing 'moments of fatigue' during his second term.
Trump Fires Back on Truth Social
Hours before Haberman's interview, Trump attacked her on Truth Social, calling her 'Maggot Hagerman' and accusing her of 'bad reporting.' He wrote, 'She has made a living off her bad reporting, and will pay the price when our Multi Billion Dollar Lawsuit against The Failing New York Times gets to court.'
Trump defended his health, stating he 'just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed' and had requested a cognitive test three times, acing them all. 'Few people in Washington DC could do so, including Maggot and her flunky associate, Jonathan Swan,' he added.
White House Physician Confirms Fitness
White House physician Sean Barbarella echoed Trump's claims, insisting that recent medical exams show he is 'fully fit' with 'strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and overall physical function.' Trump undergoes a physical every six months, according to Barbarella.
Jonathan Swan responded to Trump's jibe on X, writing, 'I would be honoured to do another on-camera interview with President Trump whenever he wants.' He also shared a photo of the book topping Amazon's bestseller charts, thanking readers for their support.
The controversy highlights ongoing concerns about the president's health and transparency, with Haberman's 'black box' comment suggesting that the administration has kept details hidden from the public and press.
