Trump Dispels Death Rumors by Playing Golf in Virginia

President Donald Trump was seen leaving the White House on Saturday morning to play golf in Virginia, effectively dispelling widespread rumors on social media falsely claiming he had died or was gravely ill. The speculation arose after Trump had not been publicly seen since Tuesday and his weekend schedule showed no public events, fueling viral hashtags such as #whereistrump and #Trumpisdead on platforms like X. These rumors intensified due to recent images of Trump with bruising and swollen ankles, and comments from Vice President JD Vance about being prepared to step in if a tragedy occurred. White House correspondent Reagan Reese, who spent time interviewing Trump the day before, confirmed the president's well-being, countering the misinformation. The incident echoes previous similar rumors about world leaders’ health and highlights growing public distrust of official information. Trump was accompanied by his granddaughter Kai, and his public appearance on the golf course was widely shared to debunk the false conspiracy theories.
