Amid intense scrutiny over President Donald Trump’s health, keen-eyed observers did not miss the blue something that Trump was seen putting in his mouth at the US Open. The photo of Trump with the mysterious blue pill between his teeth went viral, with social media users wasting no time to turn into sleuths to find out the truth about the blue pill. But as of now, the jury is still out, as it could be Adderall, a treatment for ADHD, or just mint. People even thought he was taking viagra sitting at the US Open in New York. “What kind of pill is Donald Trump popping at the US Open today?” social media personality Ed Krassenstein told his followers as the photo began circulating online. ‘Why is the media ignoring his medical conditions?’“It’s very possible—and even likely—that the object in the photo is a mint rather than a prescription pill,” wrote conservative user Lorrie Ann on X.“The small, light blue, rectangular tablet visible between Donald Trump’s teeth or lips in the image closely matches the appearance of Altoids Smalls Sugar-Free Wintergreen mints.”
What did the photographer say?
Andres Kudacki, an Argentinian photographer based in New York, who took the photo, said he was not sure what the blue thing was, though he called it a ‘tablet’ on X. “I don’t know what it was specifically, I said it was a ‘tablet’ as that works for both, a mint or a tablet,” Kudacki said.Kudacki told The Daily Beast that he did not see Trump taking the object out of a container, as Trump was very discreet. “I was waiting for some reaction from him, he’s a big personality,” Kudacki said.
What is Trump’s present health situation?
Trump’s absence from the public eye for a few days triggered speculations and theories, as Trump was last seen with bruise marks on his hand. The White House earlier confirmed that Trump was diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency,’ which is a ‘common condition’ in individuals over the age of 70.Trump reacted to his ‘death rumors’ and said those were horrible. “I didn’t do anything for two days and they say ‘there must be something wrong with him’. Biden wouldn’t do anything for months,” Trump said.
