Speculation around President Donald Trump’s health has taken over social media, with #TrumpDead trending on X (formerly Twitter) after his recent absence from public events. The controversy deepened as users alleged that the White House is circulating “old photos” of Trump to downplay concerns.
Over the past few weeks, Trump’s limited public appearances and his diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) have fueled a barrage of unverified claims. Despite the White House insisting that the 79-year-old President is in “excellent health,” critics and conspiracy theorists argue otherwise.
Adding to the frenzy, Trump is scheduled to make a surprise announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. today, a rare move that has only intensified speculation. While officials remain tight-lipped about the reason behind the press conference, many online users are asking whether the President will address his health—or even resign.
Some posts on X alleged that Trump’s recent golf course photos were “recycled from earlier events,” questioning their authenticity. Others suggested that his prolonged absence from the media spotlight has only added to suspicions.
As the nation awaits clarity, Trump’s surprise announcement is being viewed as a make-or-break moment to silence rumors—or confirm fears.
