President Donald Trump is once again causing speculation about his health during his recently concluded Asian tour. As he wrapped up in Japan, cameras caught the president tightly gripping the handrail to avoid falling as he made his way down the stairs of Air Force One. It looks like he’s being even more cautious to avoid any mishaps.

Trump has previously admitted that he takes “extra care” on stairs. He needs to take slower, deliberate steps. It makes sense as he previously tripped going up the stairs of Air Force One and sparked debates about his health. It looks like he’s trying to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
According to OK, on the same day he moved down the stairs carefully, Trump was filmed moving very slowly from his limo to meet Japan’s Emperor Naruhito. He also appeared to be favoring his left side and appeared to move more slowly on his right leg.
Days before in Malaysia, Trump’s ankles were once again the topic of conversation as they appeared noticeably swollen in a photo of the president beside Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. This isn’t the first time people have noticed this.
Still, the president isn’t concerned and says the public shouldn’t be either. He shared with the media that his MRI results were perfect. And despite the many medical concerns and questions about his health, he claimed to be in excellent shape. He mentioned his doctors said that his test results were incredible for someone his age.
The presidential physician also said that Trump was in exceptional health and that the ankle swelling is a benign condition that is common in older adults.
Perhaps the president is simply taking preventive measures now to avoid falls and health problems down the line. For now, he claims to be doing great and even made hints at a third term.
