'Death warmed over': Trump's France appearance fuels new health concerns

06/15/26 7:05 PM

Experts were raising questions about President Donald Trump's health after photo and video footage showed the now octogenarian traveling between back-to-back events across the ocean.Trump went from Sunday night's UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House to France for the G7 Summit to discuss the next steps in the deal with Iran to stop the military conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.Political commentators reacted to the president's appearance in Évian-les-Bains, France, with French President Emmanuel Macron."The WH is trying to project Trump as the president who never stops working, going right from the UFC thing to Paris and nailing down the Iran agreement when others were sleeping. In reality, he looks and sounds totally spent. How much longer can they keep the plates spinning?" Conspiracy expert and author Mike Rothschild wrote on X."Trump does not look like a man that’s in full control of his faculties," entrepreneur and technologist Gissur Simonarson, co-founder of Cloud Sherpa, wrote on X."Trump looks like death warmed over," journalist Aaron Rupar wrote on X."Trump, now 80 years old, is looking banged up after his big night at the fights and a flight to Europe," Rupar wrote in a separate X post."The blank eyes. A portal to hell," political commentator Bill Johnson wrote on X.The WH is trying to project Trump as the president who never stops working, going right from the UFC thing to Paris and nailing down the Iran agreement when others were sleeping.In reality, he looks and sounds totally spent.

'Huge setback' threatens to 'torpedo' Trump's coveted peace deal: report

06/14/26 12:11 PM

A peace deal between Washington and Tehran – one that President Donald Trump has shown a “strange insistence” on being finalized Sunday, his 80th birthday – is at risk of collapse after a key Iranian demand was violated Sunday morning, Al Jazeera reported.Iran has demanded that Israel halt its bombardment of Lebanon as a non-negotiable condition to ending the war, a demand that Israel has largely ignored, despite Trump’s insistence that Israel halts its attacks on its northern neighbor. And on Sunday, Israel launched airstrikes on suburbs in Beirut, Lebanon’s capital and largest city, killing at least two and wounding four.The attack, warned Sami Nader of the Levant Institute for Strategic Affairs, could blow up the U.S.-Iran peace deal Trump had hoped would be finalized Sunday.“This event is quite significant and it has the potential to torpedo the deal between the US and Iran,” Nader told Al Jazeera. “The thing is now how Iran will retaliate?”Iran launched strikes against Israel for striking Lebanon as recently as last week, setting a new precedent in the war by launching attacks against Israel on behalf of another country. Whether Iran repeats last week’s attack remains to be seen, though Al Jazeera’s Almigdad Alruhaid argued that Israel’s Sunday morning strikes were, at the least, a potential “huge setback” for a brokered deal between Washington and Tehran.“This is a serious development as far as Iran is concerned. We’ve seen that the situation in Lebanon is an integral and central part of the potential peace deal,” Alruhaid wrote.“The latest broader ceasefire, on April 8, was linked to the situation in Lebanon, and Iranian officials have repeatedly said that the situation in Lebanon will not be separated from this deal. So it could be a huge setback.”

'Let the oil flow!' Trump announces new 'deal' with Iran

President Donald Trump announced that his administration had reached a "deal" with the Iranian regime that would "reopen" the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global waterway that has been shut down since the early days of the war against Iran. "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!"The deal was announced less than one hour before Trump's "UFC Freedom 250" event at the White House was scheduled to start. The New York Times described the deal as a "cease-fire," which Trump has previously said means "when you're shooting in a more moderate manner.""Iran has not yet officially confirmed the cease-fire agreement, but struck a triumphant tone on the state broadcaster, IRIB. 'The United States was forced to accept an end to the war,' it declared," the NYT reported.
