Trump spotted with a tablet between his teeth
During the thrilling final between the two top-ranked tennis players, a 79-year-old Donald Trump, seated in the VIP stand, was spotted holding a pill between his teeth for a while. Tennis fan Andrés Kudacki took a photo of Trump with the pill in his mouth, and the image quickly went viral on social media.
Speculation over Trump’s pill
Speculation began over what medication Trump was taking. According to White House sources, Trump regularly takes aspirin, so the pill is believed to be that. Some speculated it might have been a peppermint, while others thought it was a sugar-free mint.
The final itself was delayed by 30 minutes in anticipation of Trump’s arrival. When Trump entered the stadium, some spectators booed him, while others welcomed him warmly.
