Fresh concerns are swirling around Donald Trump’s health after he was seen wearing a single black glove indoors during a live Fox News segment. The glove covered his left hand, the same hand that had previously been photographed with dark bruises.
At the time, Trump was in Iowa, stopping at a restaurant when the Fox News clip aired. During the segment, a reporter turned to Trump and asked about Alex Pretti, saying:
“Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or assassin?”
Trump appeared caught off guard.
“I haven’t heard that,” he replied. “But he certainly shouldn’t have been carrying a gun.”

He then launched into a rambling answer.
“Everybody in this room, we view that as a very unfortunate incident,” Trump said.
“Unless you’re a stupid person.”
He continued:
“I don’t like that he had a gun. I don’t like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That’s a lot of bad stuff.”

Over the years, there have been rumors, doctor briefings, and secretive health updates from the White House. But those updates often raise more questions than answers. Independent doctors and reporters have pointed out that the public deserves real transparency when it comes to the health of a sitting president.
