The White House has confirmed that President Donald Trump will address the nation at 2 p.m. today (Tuesday) in what officials are calling an “exciting announcement” related to the Department of Defense.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a brief statement just hours ahead of the event, saying, “The President will be making an exciting announcement related to the Department of Defense.” No additional details have been provided, fueling fresh speculation over the nature of the announcement.
This comes amid days of swirling rumors about Trump’s health, with hashtags like #TrumpIsDead and #WhereIsTrump trending online after his prolonged absence from public events. The President was last seen over the weekend playing golf with his grandchildren, but that did little to stop online conspiracy theories.
Trump himself brushed off health speculation on Truth Social, insisting that he has “never felt better,” while Vice President J.D. Vance also assured reporters that the President remains in good health.
With the White House linking today’s announcement to the Department of Defense, many are questioning whether it will involve military spending, troop deployments, or a strategic shift in foreign policy. The secrecy surrounding the Oval Office briefing has only intensified anticipation.
