In response, it was suggested by another user that what Trump was consuming was a blue colored Altoids mint. She then added:

"I guess it was Altoids then."

There has been a lot of speculation and debate on President Trump's health in the US media in recent weeks. The White House revealed that he had been suffering from a 'chronic venous insufficiency', a common health condition in people over the age of 70.

Martina Navratilova also expressed her thoughts on the US President Donald Trump's entrance and security measures taken during the US Open men's singles final. As a result of this, thousands of people faced delayed entry into the Arthur Ashe Stadium. While also expressing concern for the players, she added, as per Sky Sports:

"I don’t know whose idea it was [to enter like this], but it’s insane. It is a delay that they’ve never had [the players], because all the venues now have a roof. They really need to time it just right, to eat just right, to warm up. Both are in the same boat, but it’s really unfortunate."

"Let’s spare a thought for the thousands of people waiting outside, in the drizzle, it’s been raining and they’ve paid thousands of dollars for these tickets. It’s more than half-empty still," Martina Navratilova continued.

The US President had arrived at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York City, from the White House.
