Donald Trump is facing accusations that he brought his top aide with him on a secret plane swap because he "can't control his bowels".

The US president was secretly smuggled off Air Force One and boarded a military jet to avoid an alleged assassination threat from Iran.

The covert plane swap was carried out on July 8 after a NATO summit in the Turkish capital. The tight confines of the food container meant there was limited space for White House officials.

Trump's top brass cabinet members Mark Rubio, Pete Hegseth and Scott Bessent all boarded the presidential jet knowing they were serving as decoys along with the press corps.

The Commander in Chief chose executive assistant Natalia Harp because he "doesn't know when" he will soil himself, a medical expert has alleged.

Dr Adam James, a physical therapist with years of experience treating the elderly, said: "The President s**** himself all the time not simply because he can't control his bowel or bladder. He doesn't know when his bowel or bladder are going to empty without his consent."

Dr James compared Trump to an ailing patient he treats. He told his millions of Instagram followers: "My patient is up multiple times a night attempting to get to the toilet but he rarely actually makes it there.

"His wife is his primary care giver. She is burning through bed linens. All of her time is taken up washing bed linens and his clothing...

"The President has Natalie Harp with him all the time with a diaper bag. When he changed planes to avoid an assassination attempt in Turkey, Natalie Harp went with him."

He claimed: "That is the biggest clue in the world that he does not know when his bowel or bladder are going to empty. His brain is that far gone, it's not that he can't control s****** himself or leaking urine all the way down his leg."

"He doesn't know when it is going to happen. His incontinence is that severe and it is directly indicative of how far gone his brain is."

Referring to the patient being treated by his wife, Dr James said: "They don't know this yet but they are precariously close to a tipping point where she hires 24/7 assistance so she can actually sleep or he is placed in a facility.

"There is no way she is going to be able to sustain that care giving situation. That is the clinical situation the President of the United States is in. Sir s**** a lot."
