Trump administration figures are “irritated” by talk about the 79-year-old president’s health, according to his biographer.
Author Michael Wolff told the Daily Beast podcast Inside Trump’s Head on Tuesday that, based on what he’s heard, those in the administration see the president as “inexhaustible” while acknowledging that “one day he will just go over.”

“The only thing that I’m hearing about his health is everyone is irritated that people are focusing on his health—I mean, the people around him,” Wolff said, a few weeks after the White House revealed that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, which can cause swollen legs.
President Donald Trump, 79, confounded his audience during an executive order signing Monday in the Oval Office, rambling about an imaginary governor named “Kristi Whitman.”
“You know, I did a favor for Kristi Whitman,” Trump said, seated behind the Resolute Desk.
“Whitmer,” he added moments later, in what seemed like a fleeting moment of self-correction—though he still appeared to be referring to a nonexistent “Kristi Whitmer.”
The president was likely trying to name Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, especially as he soon invoked the Great Lakes.
