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 gruelling re-election campaign.
Since Mr Trump has regularly mocked the health and acuity of his presumptive election opponent, Democrat Joe Biden - who is three years his senior - the question of physical fitness could weigh heavily in the campaign ahead. "The last thing I was going to do is 'fall' for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!"EARLIER INCIDENTS But Mr Trump also appeared to have trouble on Saturday lifting a glass of water to his lips - beginning the gesture with his right hand but then raising his left hand apparently to help.
Late last month, Mr 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, Mr Trump tweeted that Mr Biden was"weak, both mentally and physically." And on June 11, he said on Twitter that Mr Biden"acts different than he used to, he's even slower than he used to be".
