KEY POINTS

  • Donald Trump's health has been at the center of all kinds of rumors
  • The POTUS was rushed to the hospital last year
  • Melania Trump thought her husband suffered a heart attack 

Melania Trump and Donald Trump have been married for 15 years, but it seems that they don’t talk to each other that much behind closed doors.

In November of last year, the POTUS was rushed to the Walter Reed Medical Center to undergo an unscheduled portion of his yearly physical that is usually scheduled for January.

Days after leaving the hospital, Trump spoke about the rumors surrounding his health before a Cabinet meeting at the White House. The POTUS told reporters that when he got home, he was greeted by a panicked FLOTUS.

“I went for a physical. And I came back and wife said, ‘Darling, are you OK? Oh, they’re reporting you may have had a heart attack.’ I said, ‘Why did I have a heart attack?’ ‘Because you went to Walter Reed Medical Center’ – that’s where we go when we get the physicals,” he said.

Trump went on to deny the allegations that he suffered a heart attack that’s why he was rushed to the hospital. In fact, some netizens thought that the POTUS was hiding his condition after he was photographed with a folder over his chest.

Meanwhile, Trump’s physicians previously clarified that the POTUS is in good health. They revealed that the POTUS’s visit to the hospital wasn’t scheduled because no one knew when they could squeeze it into his busy schedule.

“Despite some of the speculation, the President has not had any chest pain, nor was he evaluated or treated for any urgent or acute issues. Especially, he did not undergo and specialized cardiac or neurologic evaluations,” the physicians said.

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham also confirmed that the president is healthy and energetic after his physical exam. She told Fox News that the POTUS has more energy than anybody in the White House even though he works from 6 a.m. until very late at night.

Despite their clarifications, some netizens are still convinced that there’s something wrong with the POTUS.
