There are many unanswered questions about Donald Trump’s health. Is the president, who recently turned 80, in worse health than the White House has indicated in its public announcements?
One expert says there may be, and that the president may have suffered a stroke.
According to TV Insider, a physical therapist named Adam James appeared this week on The David Pakman Show and said he thinks the way Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron shook hands at the recent G7 summit suggests something might be wrong with the American president.
What kind of limp-wrist handshake is Grandpa giving Macron? Trump once again continues to embarrass this nation on the world stage!
Could it be another sign of an earlier stroke?

“Normally, [Trump] loves to do this power move where he shakes the hand of a dignitary or a person that he’s set to meet with, and he holds their hand really tightly, and he refuses to let go,” James said on the show, noting that the unique way Trump shakes hands with Macron, as well as other world leaders, has often drawn attention.
“Normally, when we see him do this, his elbow is at his side, and his left shoulder is facing the camera. So he’s able to accomplish what he does with no help from his right shoulder. So now when he’s placed on Macron’s right, he has to reach across his body, which involves the rotator cuff, the deltoids,” James added.
The physical therapist noted that the weakness of the president’s right shoulder indicates that something might be wrong, including the possibility of a stroke.
“Anytime he would display any symptoms of stroke, he’s going to get that intervention as soon as possible,” James said on the show. “The White House is basically a hospital step-down unit, so he can receive whatever he needs as soon as he possibly could need it.”
He noted that Trump has also shown signs of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD).
“Trump has shown signs of FTD going back over a decade, and it’s wild,” the physical therapist said.
