'Unhinged' Trump video sparks health fears as he 'hides' bruises
Donald Trump seemed to demand eight Nobel Prizes in a rambling speech from the White House.
US president Donald Trump sparked further health fears as fans said “he’s finally cracked”. The 79-year-old was speaking live on Fox News from the White House about the “eight wars” he claims he’s put an end to, and insisting he deserves to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his efforts at saving lives.
In a rambling video, Trump said: “Whether people like Trump or don’t like Trump, I settled eight wars. Big ones. Some going on for 36 years, 32 years, 31 years, 28 years, 25 years. Some just getting ready to start like India and Pakistan. I got it done in rapid order without nuclear weapons. I can’t think of anyone in history who should get the Nobel Prize more than me, and I don’t want to be bragging but nobody else settled wars!”

He continued his tirade: “Obama got the Nobel Prize, he had no idea why. He still has no idea. He walks around and says, ‘I got the Nobel Prize’, why did he get a Nobel Prize? He got it almost immediately upon attaining office and he didn’t do anything and he was a bad president.
“So, uh, I mean you should get the Nobel Prize for every war you stop, major wars. These were wars that nobody thought could be stopped.
“President Putin called me, he said about two of the wars he’s been trying to stop them for 10 years, he wasn’t able to do it. He couldn’t believe it. So in theory you should get the Nobel Prize for every war you stop. Every one of them was major.”
Trump added: “But I don’t care about that. What I care about is saving lives. I’ve saved tens of millions of lives.
“The prime minister of Pakistan came here and he made a very public statement, he said ‘President Trump saved minimum 10million lives’.”
There is no record of this “very public” statement, however, though Trump has cited various numbers over the past few months ranging from 10million to 35million lives saved.
Viewers were baffled by the segment, with one tweeting in response: “Hiding his hand bruises and swollen ankles again I see.” Trump had laid one hand over the other during the video so the back of his left couldn’t be seen by the cameras.
Another posted: “I can hardly watch this any more.”
And a third said: “It should be very easy to find that very public statement from the Pakistani prime minister then, right? Jesus Christ, does this buffoon EVER not lie through his teeth?”
