In recent days, social media has been buzzing with claims that Donald Trump is dead, sparking widespread speculation. The rumor began after photos showed a dark patch on Trump’s hand, leading some users to question his health.
However, the former president debunked the speculation himself when he appeared in public after three days, accompanied by his granddaughter Kai on the White House South Lawn. He was seen preparing to board a flight to his Virginia golf course.
According to reports, Trump had originally planned to spend late August at his Bedminster resort in New Jersey but decided to remain at the White House instead.
Questions about Trump’s health resurfaced last week when Vice President JD Vance was asked if he would be ready to step in if something happened to the president. Vance reassured the public that Trump is in “excellent health,” though he acknowledged that unforeseen tragedies are always possible.
Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, also addressed the viral images of the bruising on Trump’s hand. He explained that it was consistent with “minor soft tissue irritation” caused by frequent handshakes and the use of aspirin, which Trump takes as part of a standard heart health regimen.
The most recent official health update came in July, when the White House disclosed that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, a vein condition that can cause swelling in the legs.
Despite online claims, there is no evidence or confirmation that Trump has died. The rumors seem to have originated from a Reddit post noting his lack of recent public appearances, which quickly spread to Twitter and other platforms.
In short: Trump is alive, has been seen in public, and continues with his regular schedule, despite the viral speculation.
