Trump's Health: 79 Years Young, 14 Years Younger Than Himself

White House physician Capt. Sean Barbabella bragged Trump's cardiac age is 14 years younger than his real 79-year-old self, making his ticker possibly still enjoying millennials' avocado toast. Despite endless handshakes allegedly causing 'frequent bruising' on his hands—a mystery the memo politely sidestepped—Trump dismissed health rumors as 'fake news' while insisting he’s 'very active.' He also got his usual flu and COVID boosters, prepping for planned international traipsing. Always early, because lateness is for the weak.
