Jake Tapper Questions Trump’s Bruises, Doubts White House Explanation
CNN host Jake Tapper questioned the White House’s explanation for Donald Trump’s bandages, attributing them to frequent handshaking, citing a lack of transparency regarding the former president’s health. Tapper referenced Trump’s visit to Walter Reed Medical Center for an MRI and his claim of having “no idea what they analyzed,” suggesting there may be undisclosed health concerns. David Axelrod emphasized this lack of transparency as a pattern, prompting calls for greater clarity given the circumstances. Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed that without a clear medical answer, rumors and speculation will proliferate, mirroring past experiences.
