Donald Trump Was Seen Breathing Heavily In Chicago

The Apprentice star was in the Chicago area on September 27th ahead of the President’s Cup at Medinah Country Club. That afternoon, fans and paparazzi had eyes on him after he had reportedly just walked down a set of stairs before getting into his heavily secured presidential vehicle, known as “The Beast.”

Once inside the vehicle, Trump was captured on video appearing to breathe heavily, with the footage showing noticeable movement as he sat inside the car. He appears to be talking to some members of his team, but it’s unclear exactly what he’s saying. Still, many have noticed that he looked rather exasperated.

The clip quickly circulated online, with viewers closely examining his appearance and questioning whether he appeared to be having difficulty breathing.

Social Media Users Express Concerns For Trump’s Health

The footage quickly sparked a new round of health speculation about the former NYC real estate mogul, as social media users expressed concern over what they believed looked like labored or heavy breathing.

Some viewers questioned whether the moment could be evidence of an underlying health issue, though there is no confirmation that Trump was experiencing a medical emergency.

The latest concerns about his “breathing heavily” and condition also come after the president’s health has repeatedly become a subject of online discussion in recent months. Other videos showing the president appearing tired, moving awkwardly, or seemingly struggling during public appearances have similarly fueled speculation about his physical condition, despite such footage not being enough to establish a diagnosis.

“He’s out of breath,” commented an Instagram user. “That’s no good.”

“He doesn’t care about his health,” another user speculated.

One user wrote that the president’s “obituary is around the corner,” as another grim speculator added, “He’s gonna be dead soon.”

“A doctor’s note doesn’t cut it anymore,” commented a user. “There needs to be full disclosure about his health. He belongs in a home, not in the White House.”

“Where is his oxygen mask?” asked another.
