Social Media Rampant With New Concern Over Trump’s Health After He Sported Droopy Face at 9/11 Ceremony
Concern over President Donald Trump’s health has been renewed as he sported what appeared to be a droopy face during an appearance at a 9/11 ceremony at the Pentagon Thursday.
The internet was abuzz Thursday and Friday after the right side of president’s face was noticeably drooping downward.
After Trump showed up at the Pentagon ceremony, flanked by First Lady Melania Trump, the “doctors” of social media were quick to diagnose the president, with many floating the possibility that he had suffered a stroke.
The president’s health has already been under scrutiny of late after the president was seen with bruising on the back of his hands and swollen ankles.
The administration, and Trump himself, maintain that he is in “excellent health.”

Back in July, Trump’s doctor addressed the concern in a note that was read aloud by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt during a media briefing:
In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House Medical Unit. The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.
Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, D-dimer, B-type, natriotic, peptide, and cardiac biomarkers. All results were within normal limits. An echocardiogram was also performed, and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.
Additionally, recent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand. This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking, and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy, and the president remains in excellent health.
Whatever appeared to be ailing Trump at the Pentagon, he didn’t appear to be showing the same symptoms when he visited the Fox & Friends set on Friday morning, or at Yankee Stadium the night before.
