Washington - As US President Donald Trump turns 74 on Sunday, an incident a day earlier in which he appeared unsteady on his feet has revived questions about his health as he heads into a grueling re-election campaign.

Story continuesLate last month, Trump seemed to have trouble standing still during a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, near Washington, though some commentators said he might simply have been weary. In March, Trump tweeted that Biden was"weak, both mentally and physically." And on June 11, he said on Twitter that Biden"acts different than he used to, he's even slower than he used to be."
