Donald Trump's wonky address to the nation has sparked widespread worries about the president's health.
On Wednesday night, December 17, the U.S. commander-in-chief, 79, rambled for 18 minutes - jumping from topics like bashing former President Joe Biden and bragging about the Trump administration.
Following his speech, cardiac expert Dr. Jonathan Reiner admitted he's "seriously concerned" about Trump's health and said his address sounded "manic."

Jonathan Reiner said he's 'seriously concerned' about Donald Trump's health.
In a series of messages shared to X on Wednesday evening, the former cardiologist of late Vice President Dick Cheney sounded the alarm about Trump's alleged decline."The pace of this address is manic," Reiner declared as he listened to Trump speed through his speech, claiming the president's angry "tone" didn't "quite match the festive background" of Christmas decorations displayed behind him.
At many points, Trump raised his voice to emphasize certain words he was reading off of a teleprompter. While the Republican leader briefly mentioned the holiday season at the end of his address, he managed to do so without a smile.
