A health expert has made a stark warning about how long the president Donald Trump has left to live.

The US President has seen his health become a constant source of debate during his second term in the White House, after several rumors regarding it during his first four years in office, between 2017-2021.

When Trump approaches 80 years of age, he has claimed several times to be in perfect health, citing several cognitive assessments and physical examinations that he has undergone.

Yet, one expert has revealed how many days he has ‘left to live.’

Trump’s health concerns

In spite of what Trump himself says (he once described himself as the ‘healthiest president that’s ever lived’) there has been plenty of online discourse surrounding his physical and mental wellbeing for years.

Given that he is the oldest sitting President in US history, it is only natural that speculation surrounding Trump’s health should arise on a regular basis.

Bruises that have appeared on Trump’s hands in recent months raised some questions.

These have since been attributed to aspirin use, however, which Trump has addressed in interviews recently.

In October the two-time President underwent a CT scan at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, stating at the time: “I got an MRI. It was perfect. I mean, I gave you the full results. We had an MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.”

Though Trump stated that he had an MRI, it was in fact a CT scan, as per Forbes.

Trump’s doctor, Sean Barbarella, told the Wall Street Journal it was performed to ‘definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues.’

Still, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt did confirm in July of last year that Trump had been experiencing swelling in his legs, which was later diagnosed as chronic venous insufficiency, which sees the legs struggling to send blood back to the heart due to faulty valves, resulting in a pooling of blood.

One of the main areas of Trump’s physical wellbeing that has been spotlighted several times, is him appearing to fall asleep or not look fully awake during meetings and events that have been broadcast.

Trump has attempted to pass these concerns off as him blinking or simply resting.

What has been said about Trump’s health in the past?

Former White House doctor, Doctor Jonathan Reiner has previously urged Congress to order an immediate health review of the President.

The expert shared footage which he believes needs to be ‘evaluated’ immediately by the President’s medical team.

Reiner, who once served as the cardiologist to the late Vice President Dick Cheney, is now the medical analyst for CNN.

On X, the doctor shared a videoin the middle of January, that he believes suggests Trump should undergo a new medical evaluation.

Also, Reiner  expressed concern after Trump appeared ‘unwell’ during a speech, citing his tone and ‘manic’ pacing.

“I’m seriously concerned about the health of the president,” Reiner commented at the time. “No one should be happy to see the president like this. He looks unwell.”

Earlier this year, Trump’s niece, Mary, the daughter of the President’s older brother Fred Trump Jr, spoke out about her concerns regarding her uncle’s cognitive awareness.

In a video on her YouTube channel titled ‘Trump declines rapidly as behavior raises concerns,’ Mary, a psychologist, delved into several moments that have occurred, where the President showed signs of ‘losing it.’

As per his niece, Trump’s ‘mental decline’ seems to be something that has gone under the radar, given his controversial personality.

Mary told, “We’ve all become used to the fact that every time Donald stumbles, rambles, forgets people’s names, wanders off the stage, or just pulls made-up facts out of thin air.

“In other words, lies, people on the right pass it off as if these are just fun little quirks of their dear leader, and not the fact that every single day Donald Trump appears to be losing it.”

Why are people concerned about Trump’s health?

Given the current atmosphere in the United States, where two American citizens in Minneapolis have recently been killed in broad daylight by ICE and Border Patrol agents, people would ordinarily look to their President to provide leadership and make rational decisions to help make the country safer.

Yet, with the regularity of Trump’s public slip-ups, in which he has appeared confused, has slurred his words or got countries mixed up – such as when he confused Iceland and Greenland several times during a recent speech – even his most ardent supporters are now no longer convinced he is physically or mentally well enough to lead the country.

With Trump threatening Greenland with military action and making not-so-veiled threats against the likes of Iran, Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia in recent months, the American population want to be assured that their President is compos mentis.

Various detractors have labeled Trump as an authoritarian dictator due to his actions regarding immigrants and his foreign policies, which have angered several key NATO allies and further threatened the domestic economy.

How long does medical expert think Trump has left to live?

In a video posted by The David Pakman Show recently, licensed physical therapist Adam James, who has been practicing for 14 years, made a bold claim about Trump’s current health.

Discussing the President’s neurological symptoms, James explains that he believes Trump is dealing with severe health issues, including Frontotemporal dementia.

Such a condition would usually bring with it a life expectancy of between 7-12 years following diagnosis. Yet James actually believes Trump only has between 2-4 years left before he dies. It is a prediction that, should it come true, would mean the President could pass away while still serving in office.

James spotlighted several signs of neurological decline that he has witnessed in Trump over the last few years.

These signs of decline include abnormal gait patterns such as swinging leg motion and balance issues, the type of which typically arise due to right-sided weakness after suffering a stroke.

Trump’s slurred speech, difficulty remembering basic facts and confusing countries with each other are all signs James points to as evidence of a President in sharp decline of his mental faculties. These symptoms could all be linked to dementia.

The President has an inability to control what he says, according to James, which reflects damage to the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and impulse control.

In addition to James’ diagnosis of Trump, the physical therapist also believes the 79-year-old may be suffering from other chronic health issues such as congestive heart failure and kidney disease, which should they go undetected by Trump’s doctors, could provide serious underlying issues that would exacerbate frontotemporal dementia.

So while James gives Trump between 2-4 years to live, it could be that the President has even less time than that if even more is wrong with his health than first thought.

What would happen if Donald Trump died?

The White House has a succession plan in place should a President die while in office. Throughout history, eight US Presidents have died in office. Four from natural causes, four were assassinated.

Should the 79-year-old die, resign or be removed from office, his Vice President would assume control of the Presidency. So, within the current administration, this would mean JD Vance becoming President of the United States.

Vance would be sworn in as President at the earliest available opportunity in the event Trump dies while in office.
