To be fair, he is 70 years old and I doubt he’s particularly healthy living
Which makes a bit of a farce of the “fittest ever president” guff I ride with a chap who is 75 and once warmed up is like a train on rides and just keeps going, he’s also sharp as a pin and often catches us out.

“The first thing is simply the pace. If you look at how Trump spends his days in the White House, it seems to be an enormous amount of time watching TV and not much else. But these trips are punishing, he will be meeting an enormous number of people and it requires tremendous energy and focus – not his strong suit.”
The president’s team has reportedly attempted to build downtime into his schedule wherever possible, and instructed foreign delegations that he prefers short presentations with lots of visual aids.
His limited attention span is said to have already affected preparation for the trip. Aides threaded the president’s own name through the paragraphs of a two-page briefing memo in order to hold his interest, the New York Times reported on Friday.
