White House staffer Margo Martin, who President Donald Trump once called his "most beautiful" aide, was drawing blowback on Monday over a video she shared on social media, according to The Daily Beast.
Martin captured the president walking in Lafayette Square on Sunday with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, where they were discussing recent renovations — one of the president's "beautification" projects.
The video might not have had the intended response.
The internet questioned Trump's health and commented on his walk through the Washington, D.C. public park.
"They must’ve pumped him up his drugs really well, he looks like he can walk," user Katherine, who self-describes as a "conservative liberal/liberal conservative" with nearly 5,000 followers, wrote on X.
"Look at that elderly shuffling moron he's walking on wet bricks he's gonna slip," user Bob DeCaprio, frequent political commentator, wrote on X.
"Another day of putting the things Americans cares [SIC] about the most last," user Forever Blessed, a user with more than 4,000 followers who self-describes as "anti-Trump/MAGA" and frequently comments on progressive politics, wrote on X.
