Donald Trump was taken from his Florida golf club for a dentist appointment that does not appear to be in his schedule, though the White House has claimed it was planned.

Donald Trump was whisked away from his Jupiter golf club in Florida for a mysterious “dentist appointment” today, but no such event appears on his schedule.
The last previously-scheduled dentist appointment appears on his publicly released schedule for January 10.
The White House said that the US President had attended a “scheduled appointment at his local dentist,” but gave no further details, sparking speculation over why it was not declared.
This follows the 79-year-old taking to Truth Social earlier this week to boast about his mental capacity in a string of bizarre messages.
He wrote: “Anybody running for President or Vice President should be forced to take a Cognitive Examination prior to entering the Race.
“By doing so, we wouldn’t be surprised at people like Barack ‘Hussein’ Obama, or Sleepy Joe Biden, getting ‘ELECTED.’ Our Country would be a much better place,” he claimed.
In the same post, Trump bragged that he had ‘aced it all three times’ before going on to declare he had served as US president for three terms, something which would be unconstitutional.

“I took the Exam three times during my (‘THREE!’) Terms as President, and ACED IT ALL THREE TIMES,” Trump wrote.
“An Achievement that, even on a single Exam, according to the Doctors, has rarely been done before,” he said.
Trump is believed to have completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a test used to detect cognitive decline. Experts note that the assessment is deliberately simple for those in good health, yet challenging for anyone experiencing cognitive issues.
Former clinical psychologist Dr John Gartner said: “It’s only an exam we actually give if we’re suspecting someone might have cognitive decline, or sometimes we give it as part of a standard battery for people of a certain age,” he noted.
“But the point is that it’s not a test you ace, right? If you pass it, it means you don’t have gross dementia.
“It doesn’t even mean you don’t have early dementia.”
Trump reignited concerns about his wellbeing following a flurry of late-night social media posts yesterday evening.
Beginning at 11.03pm local time, the US president shared an AI-generated image of himself, JD Vance, and Marc Rubio paddling shirtless in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
His burst of activity on Truth Social featured a further three pictures of the Reflecting Pool, amongst them one implying it appeared neglected during Barack Obama’s presidency, alongside another depicting how it will look once the current renovation works are finished.
