During a recent interview with New York Magazine, President Donald Trump had "an unfortunately timed" memory lapse when struggling to remember the name of a disease perhaps best known for memory loss, The Daily Beast reported Monday. In the interview, Trump addressed mounting questions about his health, which have increased as the president continues to be spotted in public with swollen ankles and bruised hands. His increased instances of rambling during speeches, along with his MRI scan last year that has yet to be fully explained have also raised concerns among critics. Trump remained defiant, however, touting his father's good health in his later years as evidence of his own. He did, however, note that his father, Fred Trump, did have one health condition.

Sure am glad he doesn't have it according to him.

Called Greenland "iceland" several times in Davos.

Can't walk a straight line.

Swollen cankles.

Ominous bruising on both hands.

That vacant stare of someone that doesn't know where he is.

Falling asleep often in meeting.

Having signs placed all around the white house telling him where he is.

He is not well.

Is Jake Tapper concerned yet?
