Speculation about US President Donald Trump’s health has been swirling on social media after rumors of his death trended under the hashtag “Trump is dead.” However, a closer look at his recent appearances shows the former President has been active in the past week, though not in the public eye since August 26, 2025.
The last time Trump was seen in person was on August 24, 2025, when he made a surprise appearance at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia alongside former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens. Just two days later, on August 26, Trump presided over a televised cabinet meeting from the White House, addressing senior officials on policy and security matters.
Since then, the President has not been spotted at any official or public events. This brief absence, combined with Vice President JD Vance’s recent “terrible tragedy” comment in an interview, fueled wild theories online.
Despite the speculation, Trump has remained active on Truth Social, posting several updates in recent days, including comments on tariffs, the economy, and foreign policy. The White House has not issued any new health updates beyond his July 2025 medical report, which confirmed he suffers from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a non-life-threatening condition.
While the President’s absence from the public eye during the Labor Day weekend sparked conspiracy theories, the available record confirms his last appearances were less than a week ago — and his team continues to insist that he remains in “excellent health.”
