Disturbing Theory About Trump’s Health Emerges As President ‘Locked Out Of Situation Room’

Donald Trump has raised more concerns over the condition of his health following a bizarre incident that saw him ‘locked out’ of the Situation Room.

The US president’s health has become the center of public debate ever since last summer, when a White House spokesperson confirmed Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition affecting blood flow in the leg veins.

The 79-year-old has also been spotted with severe bruising on his hands on a number of occasions, including several times this year, prompting his team to come out and address the concerns.

While Trump previously attributed the bruising as being the result of clipping his hands off a table, he has since suggested it is the result of taking a daily dose of 325mg of aspirin.

“I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don’t take aspirin if you don’t want to have a little bruising,” he told reporters, according to Reuters.

“I take the big aspirin. When you take the big aspirin, they tell you that you bruise.”

In more recent months, the president’s mental fitness has been called into question, particularly as many people feel strongly against the decisions he has been making in the US’ war against Iran.

People have been particularly alarmed at some of the statements he has made regarding the conflict on his Truth Social platform.

A YouGov poll from October 2024 found that many Americans believed Trump to be too old to be president, and by September 2025, the percentage of people who agreed this to be true increased to 49%.

Earlier this week, a disturbing theory emerged regarding Trump’s health, following the news he had been locked out of the Situation Room.

The US leader was speaking to reporters after stepping off Air Force One in Phoenix on Friday, April 17, when cameras captured something rather peculiar.

Trump could be seen standing with his feet spread unusually wide apart, putting his legs in a strange inverted V-shape, while positioning himself normally from the waist up.

Many people took to social media with their theories, with some suggesting it could once again be linked back to the president’s health.

“Because he’s losing his coordination so he’s standing this way to keep from falling. Watch how he can’t walk in a straight line most of the time either,” one person wrote on X.

Another added: “Yo, why he stand like that? Is he losing his balance or equilibrium because of some kind of loss of functional brain control?”

Meanwhile, another suggested he wears some kind of leg or hip brace, as another joked: “It eases the pain in his cankles to stand like a tripod.”

Calls to remove Trump from office

As Trump’s health continues to be questioned, a number of his former allies have cast aspersions over his capabilities as president, with many of them calling for him to be removed from office.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who was once a long-standing supporter of Trump, suggested Trump has ‘lost his mind,’ after he threatened ‘a whole civilisation will die tonight,’ on Truth Social amid the Iran war.

Taking to X, Jones posted a video in which he said Trump’s comments were ‘the definition of genocide.’

“Not a war,” he continued. “Not a defensive war but a literal bombardment, like martians, you know, attack us and we don’t have a defense.”

Former US representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, another former supporter of Trump, has joined calls for the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution to remove the president from his post.

“25TH AMENDMENT!!!” she wrote on X, adding: “Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.”

The 25th Amendment gives the vice president the power to try and remove the president if he becomes unable to do the job.

Section 4 of the Amendment refers to when a president is unable to work but won’t step down, usually because of mental incapacitation, requiring the majority of the cabinet to agree.

Trump ‘locked out’ of Situation Room

Doubts over Trump’s capabilities seem to have come to a head in recent days after he was reportedly locked out of a highly important Situation Room meeting over concerns about his behaviour.

There were fears the president’s short temper could have ruined a complicated mission to try and save an American soldier from Iran.

It comes after a Weapons System Officer became trapped in the remote Zagros Mountains after their aircraft was shot down by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on April 3.

Trump is said to have ‘screamed at aides for hours’ after learning of the incident.
