Americans’ confidence in Trump’s mental and physical health plummets amid last-minute medical appointment at weekend
Americans are questioning whether or not President Donald Trump is healthy enough to serve in the Oval Office, according to a new poll. The findings come amid Trump’s recent unannounced dental procedure over the weekend, where he chose to visit his local dentist rather than use the on-site dentistry clinic at the White House.

The president was in Florida over the weekend to attend regional events, including a PGA tour game at his Doral golf club. On Saturday, a report from the White House press pool noted that Trump went to visit his local dentist in Florida for a scheduled appointment. Back in January, Trump made a similar visit to his Florida dentist, even though the White House has its own dental clinic on-site, USA TODAY reports.

Other presidents have used the White House operatory, including former President Joe Biden when he needed a root canal.

The Independent has asked the White House for comment.
