5 American presidents have hidden their health problems

The initial wave of sympathy between the Republican and Democratic parties in America began gradually, with the diagnosis of the injury of the former president, Joe Biden, with cancer, to be replaced by hints from the allies of the current president, Donald Trump, that the circle close to Biden hidden his health while taking office, to create an illusion that he is still able to perform his duties.
The heads of the United States have always sought to show their strength and vitality, but all people, including presidents, are exposed to health problems.
Below is the most prominent five American presidents who were ill during their position, but they tried to hide this from public opinion.
John Kennedy
The image that most people drew about John Kennedy embodied the youth and vitality, as it was intentionally, and in fact Kennedy lived in almost permanent pain, but his bad health remained secrecy, for fear of harming his political career, and he was suffering from allergies and problems in the stomach, and suffering chronic pain in the back, which was exacerbated by his service in World War II, which necessitated his undergoing surgeries.
It is said that the back injury occurred in 1937, when he was a student at Harvard University, which initially resulted in his exclusion from military service.
In his childhood, Kennedy suffered problems in the digestive system, which was later diagnosed with “Addison” disease, which is an endocrine disorder, and in a strange development, one of the symptoms of “Addison” is hyperbag, which may be responsible for “Samra”, John Kennedy’s permanent, which was noticed by viewers of his television debate with Richard Nixon.
Franklin Roosevelt
Most Americans realize that Franklin Roosevelt suffered the effects of polio, and he relied on a wheelchair for mobility, however during his tenure as the Commander in Chief, Roosevelt managed to hide the seriousness of his condition to an almost incredible standard of today’s standards, and his polio was diagnosed in 1921, when he was 39 years old, and this was unusual, because most of the victims of pediatrics at the time were children Under the age of four.
Roosevelt worked tirelessly to rehabilitate his body in the years that followed his polio, and because he had paraplegia, he used a moving chair designed specifically to move most of the time, and during his presidency he wanted to show his strength and jaws, so he devised a “walk” method during his general appearance, and this method included wearing stents for the leg, using a stick, and using the arms of his son His reliable advisor, in addition to this, asked the press to refrain from filming him while he was walking, or while he was transferred from his car, and directed to the secret service the task of intervention if someone tries to take pictures that may appear as “weak”.
Woodro Wilson
When Woodro Wilson was erected as president in 1913, the famous military doctor, Silas Ware Mitchell, expected that he would not complete his first term because of his health, and the mistake of this expectation was found, but Wilson suffered health problems during his tenure. Later, the president woke up to find himself partially paralyzed.
His wife, Edith, took the initiative to work in order to preserve his reputation, and to preserve the calm of the administration, and it was the president, and the country remained completely ignorant of Wilson’s real condition until the end of his term in 1921.
Dwight Eisenhower
Dwight Eisenhower was elected President of the United States for the first time in 1952, to become the 34th president at the age of 62, and despite his low health complications during his early years, Eisenhower suffered the “Crohn” disease, and he suffered several heart attacks and stroke during his presidency.
When Eisenhower suffered his first heart attack in 1955, he was not much known for how the patient was treated after a heart attack, and therefore he was asked to stay in bed for several months, and he was encouraged not to run for his re -election in 1957, but he ignored the recommendation of his doctor.
Six months before his re -election to his second mandate, the president was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, which is an inflammatory condition in the intestine that can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea and malnutrition, and this disease usually affects the last part of the small intestine and colon, but the exact cause of this condition is unknown, and although Eisenhower underwent a surgery immediately and quickly recovered, he faced more health complications in the years Next.
Ronald Reagan
During his election campaign in 1980, Ronald Reagan tried to reassure public opinion about his age, by pledging to resign if the White House doctor noticed any signs of mental deterioration.
After assuming his post at the age of 77, Reagan proved a superior ability to withstand, and escaped an assassination attempt in 1981, and from a surgery in 1985 to remove a cancerous tumor in his heavy intestine, and Reagan has always seemed an example of good health, and this is partly due to his exercise regularly using weight California, and Reagan was able to ignore the concerns related to age with a spirit of humor, who once jokingly said during a debate in 1984: “I will not take advantage of political purposes, a opponent youth and his lack of experience.” About the “Innitt”
