Nearly half of Americans believe that Donald Trump is too old to be president. According to new polling by YouGov, 49 percent of people think that the president is of too advanced an age to serve in office, a 15-percentage point increase from February 2025. At 78 years old, Trump was the oldest man to be elected president. There has recently been growing concern about Trump's health. In July, photos of the president's bruised hand circulated on social media, and the White House revealed that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. Meanwhile, the polling also found that 63 percent of Americans believe Trump's health and age affect his ability to perform his job while 49 percent believe he is suffering a cognitive decline. A further 51 percent believe Trump is not providing enough information about his health and 56 percent said they only trust White House information about Trump's health "a little" or "not at all. According to polling by The Economist/YouGov, Trump's net approval rating among Americans with a yearly income of more than $100,000 was at -16 percentage points, down from -10 recorded in July.
When Trump sits one can notice his swollen ankles (cankles), a result of water retention and venous insufficiency (poor blood circulation in the legs and feet). In 2028 Donald Trump will be 82 years old. (assuming of course...)
Cripes!
