KEY POINTS

  • Donald Trump's eyes are oftentimes dilated
  • A physician thinks he knows why this is the case
  • Donald Trump was accused of taking drugs 

Donald Trump recently sparked more health concerns after netizens noticed that his eyes oftentimes look as though they are dilated.

According to Political Flare, the fact that the symptoms for the POTUS’ dilated eyes are intermittent almost rules out possible medical conditions that can cause the problem.

But Dr. Jack Brown, a specialist, recently wrote on Medium.com the possible reasons for Trump’s intermittent eye dilation. He said that it cannot have been caused by his cataract surgery and other similar medical conditions.

Brown said that it is possible the POTUS’ dilated eyes are a result of his previous and excessive drug use.

“President Donald Trump’s pupils are intermittently and significantly dilated – from a medical standpoint, this is not normal. This intermittent pattern is not due to trauma, complications from surgery, or disease… Donald Trump’s intermittently dilated pupils are due to the side effects of drugs/medications,” he wrote.

Brown admitted that he has not personally met the POTUS, and has never conducted his physical examinations. But his observations are based on the photos of Trump that he has seen.

There have also been ongoing rumors that Trump used Adderall in the past, and one of its active ingredients is amphetamines, which could cause eye dilations. Former employees on “The Apprentice” claimed to have seen Trump snorting the drug.

As of late, nothing has been confirmed yet regarding the POTUS’s history of drug use. But Political Flare said that the president’s dilated eyes may also have something to do with the fact that he stays up very late at night or wakes up very early in the morning.

Meanwhile, Trump’s health has been worrisome for his supporters and non-supporters. They have noticed that he’s oftentimes slurring and sniffing during his speeches.

The POTUS also tends to hold on to the podium to keep his balance, and he has difficulty pronouncing certain words. As of late, Trump has not undergone his annual physical exam, which is normally scheduled every January.
