The US President has announced that he is in good health after he claimed the media reported he had had a heart attack after visiting the Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre. During a rally in Sunrise, Florida, he said reports of his having a “massive, unbelievable heart attack” were false.
He added that claims of his not wearing a tie proved he had had a heart attack were false, saying: “Why would I wear a tie if the first thing they say is ‘take off your shirt sir, and show us your gorgeous chest’.”
To this, the crowd burst into laughter.
He continued: “They said ‘we want to see it.
“We’ve never seen a chest quite like it’.”

The rally doubled as his “homecoming” event, where he assured the crowd he was in good health, and that his unannounced visit to the medical centre in mid November was no more than “a very routine physical”.
Though, the very nature of the medical admission, that is was unannounced, prompted questions about the President’s health ahead of the 2020 elections.
More formally, Trump later explained that he hadn’t wore a tie because he would’ve have been required to remove it to take-off his shirt.
Trump went on to say that his visit to Texas the day after his hospital appearance, as well as his animated presence at the Florida rally, proved that his health was more than fine.

He said: “Hey, let me tell you if I didn’t feel great, I wouldn’t be ranting and raving to 21,000, 22,000 people with lots of people outside I can tell you.”
To this, the crowd applauded
He continued: “If you’ve had a heart attack, you don’t leave the hospital right away.
“You stay there for a little while, about six weeks maybe.”

Separate to Trump’s claims of the media reporting he had had a heat attack, it was reported by the media that the President wobbled while presenting an award to Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight.
In video footage from the event, Trump appeared unsteady on his legs, sparking concerns for his health from commenters on Twitter.
One wrote: “Trump is NOT looking well!!
“It almost seems like he needs to lean on the podium to keep himself standing!!”
Another said: “Two thoughts.

“1)Any 250lb human body frame carrying 200 additional lbs would tend to weeble wobble.
“2)A human being with two faces has to let one of them rest sometimes, hence the uncomfortable wobbling.”
Mr Voight is known to be a vocal supporter of Trump, having starred in films such as Midnight Cowboy.
He is the father of established actress Angelina Jolie, who has proven to be a staunch critic of Trump and his administration.
