White House Confirms Trump Chewed Mint at US Open Causing Delay

During the 2025 US Open men’s final, President Donald Trump was photographed with a mysterious small blue object between his teeth, sparking widespread online speculation about its nature. While some social media users suggested the item could be a Viagra pill, Adderall, or a medication like Hygroton used for blood pressure, the White House clarified that the object was a mint. The photo, taken by Andres Kudacki, intensified existing public scrutiny regarding Trump's health, with commentators and critics questioning his medical condition amid ongoing discussions about his well-being. Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed he takes aspirin and other medications but did not identify the blue tablet specifically. The incident caused a delay at the match due to Trump's late arrival and heightened security measures. Despite official statements, the moment reignited debates and conspiracy theories about the president's health status among online communities.
