There has been much talk about Donald Trump’s health. Now, a new video from his golf course is making people ask even more questions. In the footage, Trump is seen walking with some difficulty, and people online quickly noticed something odd—his right leg seemed stiff. This has led to a flood of speculation about whether the president is dealing with a serious health issue.
The video was first shared by Aleman’s Brothers LLC, a company that does groundskeeping work at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. It shows Trump stepping out of his golf cart, but instead of walking smoothly, he appears to drag his right leg slightly.

This isn’t the first time people have noticed Trump’s strange movements. There have been multiple occasions where he seemed to struggle with walking. A year ago, at a campaign rally, a video showed his right leg looking stiff as he walked across the stage. In another clip from February 2024, Trump was seen limping while entering a crowded room. Even in 2020, when he was still in office, people noticed that he sometimes appeared to drag his right leg.

Trump is not known for being upfront about his health. While running for president in 2016, he released a vague letter from his doctor that famously described his health as “astonishingly excellent.” But since then, little detailed information about his medical condition has been provided.
Of course, online speculation is not a medical diagnosis. But people have thrown around different possibilities. Some have suggested that Trump might have a neurological issue, such as nerve damage or the early stages of a movement disorder. Others think it could be something simpler—perhaps arthritis or just aging.
Dr. Stuart Fischer, a New York-based internal medicine physician, explained that aging makes blood vessels more fragile, increasing the risk of bruising. He added that osteoarthritis, a common condition in older adults, could also play a role.
The golf video isn’t the only thing raising concerns. People also noticed a large bruise on Trump’s right hand during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The dark mark sparked new speculation, but while Trump’s team has not addressed it, medical experts say older adults tend to bruise easily due to fragile blood vessels.
In the past, Trump has also been oddly secretive about his health. When he was rushed to Walter Reed Medical Center in 2019 for what the White House called a “routine checkup,” many people suspected something more serious. His former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, later revealed that Trump had been much sicker with COVID-19 in 2020 than the public was told at the time.
