The US President stepped out on Thursday alongside his wife <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/melania-trump\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Melania Trump<\/a> to mark the 24th anniversary of the 9\/11 terror attack.<\/p>\n<p>But the sight of <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mr Trump<\/a> at the Pentagon renewed health fears among some social media users who were quick to notice that, on camera, Mr Trump&#8217;s mouth appeared to droop to one side. One X user posted an image of the president in which, they claimed: &#8220;He looks like he has had a TIA\/minor stroke. This isn\u2019t a one off expression, he\u2019s been like this for 30 mins&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>A second X user claimed: &#8220;Don&#8217;t usually buy into conspiracy theories much but Trump definitely looks like he&#8217;s had a stroke at some point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A third claimed: &#8220;Trump struggling to keep his eyes open at 9\/11 remembrance event at the Pentagon&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, another X user suggested Mr Trump may be saddened by the memorial and recent events, suggesting he looked &#8220;tired and troubled&#8221; at the Pentagon, adding First Lady <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/melania-trump\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Melania Trump<\/a> did so as well.<\/p>\n<p>There has been no official update on Trump&#8217;s health from the White House, and no confirmation of the president suffering any medical incident.<\/p>\n<p>The latest speculations come after Mr Trump and the White House rejected rumours about his ill-health that had circulated online in early September.<\/p>\n<p>The <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/world\/2107349\/donald-trump-9-11-pentagon-event-charlie-kirk-shooting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">remembrances in the US<\/a> today are being held at a time of increased political tensions, a day after right-wing activist <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/charlie-kirk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charlie Kirk<\/a> was shot and killed while speaking at a university in Utah.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Trump and Mrs Trump, along with General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, sat at a dais and listened as the names of the 184 killed at the Pentagon on 9\/11 were read aloud.<\/p>\n<p>After each of the victims\u2019 names was announced, a bell was rung.<\/p>\n<p>Giving a speech at the event, Mr Trump announced Mr Kirk would posthumously be awarded the presidential medal of freedom, which is the highest award given to civilians in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Speculation about Mr Trump&#8217;s health has swirled on social media in recent weeks. During Labor Day weekend, Mr Trump&#8217;s absence from screens and airwaves prompted some to make false claims that he had died.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Trump said he didn&#8217;t know about the claim when asked by a Fox News reporter about it during a later Oval Office appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump prompted fresh health fears on social media during his latest public appearance.
