Americans Distrust Presidential Health Disclosures

Updated: 2025.09.10 1M ago 1 sources

Concern that Trump’s age and health affect his ability to govern has climbed to 63%, and 49% now say he’s too old to be president. — A credibility gap on presidential health pushes norms toward greater medical transparency and hardens expectations for press scrutiny and contingency planning.
