Donald Trump has spoken up after a lot of people online thought the 79-year-old president might have d!ed in secret.
This happened just days before a mysterious announcement is supposed to come from the Oval Office.
Trump’s disappearance from public visibility for several days, with no activities on his official itinerary, caused a stir on social media.
On X (previously Twitter), hashtags like “Trump Is De@d” and “Where is Donald Trump” immediately became popular. At the same time, searches on Google for his health shot up.
The suspicions started over the weekend, when Trump didn’t have any public engagements planned for Saturday, August 30. Some people on the internet jumped immediately to the conclusion that the president had d!ed instead of thinking he was just taking a vacation.
Users also linked to Vice President JD Vance’s recent comments, in which he claimed he was ready to step in if something bad happened, as fuel for the fire.
Some conspiracy theorists even brought up Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, because of long-running online accusations that the program has an eerie ability to anticipate the future.
But the whispers d!ed down on Sunday, August 31, when Trump finally spoke out on his Truth Social platform. I HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE. Also, there are no crimes in DC! He scribbled, “President DJT.”
That same day, Trump was seen playing golf with his granddaughter Kai Trump at Trump National in Sterling, Virginia. He was wearing a white polo shirt, black slacks, and his iconic red MAGA hat, and he looked very much alive.
The sighting was clear indication that the president was still alive.
There are still some worries regarding Trump’s health, though.
During public appearances, such when he signed executive orders in the Oval Office and met with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, many sharp-eyed people noticed that his right hand was always bruised.
The dark mark on the back of his hand was easy to see, and in several pictures, Trump seemed to be hiding it with his left hand. The president told Time Magazine before that the bruises were from shaking hands with a lot of people.
People are now looking at what could be a big event in the Trump administration.
The White House has officially asked reporters to come to the Oval Office at 2 PM on Monday, September 2, for a special announcement. The text teased: “THE PRESIDENT makes an announcement,” which left many people wondering what would happen next.
