CBS reported 30 minutes ago: The health condition of the President of the United States has been confirmed through independent medical results, which showed that his skin was peeling severely and there were many bruises all over his body. The initial cause was attributed to the long-term use of high doses of aspirin, a method that he himself admitted was a “personal solution” to control his recent health condition.
This information immediately shocked the US political arena as well as the global media, as no president in modern history has ever admitted to a serious deterioration in health while in office – especially in the context of the upcoming presidential election.
Peeling skin and bruises all over the body
According to a report from the federal medical team, the President appeared at a routine health check-up in a state of “dry, red, peeling skin in large patches and many unusual bruises on the arms, legs, back and neck area”. Although he remained conscious and able to participate in some official activities, doctors said the skin condition reflected “a warning sign of serious organ and circulatory damage.”
Aspirin – a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug – is commonly used to relieve pain, reduce fever and prevent strokes or heart attacks in the elderly. However, when used in excess or for a long time without clear indications, aspirin can cause thinning of blood vessels, blood clotting disorders, bleeding under the skin and leading to the recorded bruising.
The President admitted: “I thought I had it under control”
During a brief press conference at the White House before being hospitalized for intensive monitoring, the President made a statement that surprised the whole country: “I took a high dose of aspirin on my own to reduce blood pressure and persistent headaches. I thought I had it under control, but my body said otherwise.”
The statement drew harsh criticism from many medical experts. Dr. Harold McGowan, a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic, asserted: “It is unthinkable that the head of a powerful country would arbitrarily use aspirin as a daily supplement. This is a clear demonstration of a lack of serious medical supervision.”
The simmering political crisis
Soon after CBS published the information and a photo of a part of the damaged skin (which has been blurred), many political opponents took the opportunity to question the President’s ability to govern. An unnamed opposition senator said: “If he is not sober enough to adjust the dosage of aspirin, is he sober enough to make military or economic decisions?”
Social media was flooded with comments full of concern, ridicule and doubt. The hashtag #AspirinGate is trending in the US, accompanied by a series of memes mocking the President’s “YouTube-like treatment”.
The White House seeks to reassure the public
The White House press secretary held an emergency press conference, in which he affirmed: “The President is currently being closely monitored by a team of leading doctors. The skin condition is serious but not life-threatening. He will return to work in the next few days.” However, this announcement does not seem to calm the wave of panic that is spreading.
Many people and experts are calling for an independent investigation into the President’s true health condition, even proposing to apply the 25th Amendment to temporarily transfer power if necessary.
Uncertain future
Meanwhile, the presidential election is approaching and this event could plunge the entire campaign into crisis. The President’s self-treatment, leading to serious medical consequences, is not only a sign of declining health, but also a big question mark about his leadership ability in a volatile world.
Is this just a temporary blip or the beginning of a systemic collapse? The answer may come in the coming days – when the peeling skin is just a small part of the larger cracks forming in the heart of America.
