More bizarre health theories sparked after Donald trump spotted with unusual 'lump' under suit

People aren't going to let up with this now

There's been a fresh batch of theories on Donald Trump's health after people spotted a weird looking lump on his arm during a recent appearance at the White House.

Trump's health has been under the lens in recent days after people clocked the state of his hands and then he was uncharacteristically quiet for a weekend, though rumours of his demise turned out to be greatly exaggerated.

However, now that particular genie has been let out of the bottle the US president is going to be under much more scrutiny over his health as those who wondered if something was wrong with the 79-year-old are now on the lookout for tangible signs.

A body language expert told LADbible that Trump did feel vulnerable when asked about the viral rumours of his death and didn't find them funny, but wasn't trying to hide his hands when facing questions.

The latest thing people who are looking for signs of health issues with Donald Trump have seized upon is what looks like a strange lump on his right arm.

You can see a noticeable gap between the shoulder of his jacket and this lump, with some people on social media calling it 'strange' as they claimed 'fabric doesn't normally fall like that across an arm'.

While there are people trying to make something of the lump it is most likely his actual shoulder, and the distance between the lump and the shoulder of his jacket is likely down to Trump wearing an insane amount of padding in his suits.

Derek Guy, the menswear expert known for devastating fashion takedowns, previously explained this issue with Trump's outfits as he said much of how the US president wears his clothes is 'done in a way to conceal his weight'.

Guy explained that Trump's shoulders were 'relatively narrow compared to his waist', and that men normally aimed to have a 'shoulder line that's broader than the waist', hence the padded shoulders.

Other pictures of Trump in suits show there's enough distance between the shoulder of his suit and his actual arm to park a car in.

From now, on his movements are going to be watched for a sign of sickness or something out of the ordinary.

Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency earlier this year after people noticed his swollen ankles, with the condition coming from damage to the leg veins which means they struggle to carry blood back up the body and into the heart.

While the conspiracy theorists wonder whether they'd ever try to Weekend at Bernie's the US president, even the less suspicious have started to wonder what sort of health a 79-year-old man in a stressful job who has a liking for diet coke and fast food is going to be in.

Trump is the oldest person ever to take office as US president and made a big song and dance about the health and capability of his political rival Joe Biden during his time in office, but should Trump see out his second term he'll be the oldest person ever to occupy the White House.

Vice President JD Vance was recently asked what the plan was should a 'terrible tragedy' occur, and a clear succession plan which would see Vance become president is in place as he insisted that Trump was in 'incredibly good health' but 'things can always happen'.
