Rumors about President Donald Trump’s death spread online over the weekend after he was not seen publicly for two days.

Since reclaiming the presidency in January, the 79-year-old’s health has drawn scrutiny, especially after he criticized

former President Joe Biden’s age and competency during the 2024 campaign. By the end of his term,

Trump will be the oldest U.S. president ever sworn in, slightly older than Biden when he left office.

Speculation began August 30 when Trump had no scheduled public events. Instead of assuming he was resting,

many jumped to the conclusion that he had died. The rumors spread quickly until Trump appeared on the South Lawn with his granddaughter Kai,

heading to his golf course in Virginia. On Truth Social, he dismissed the claims, writing: “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.”

Supporters mocked the media for overreacting to Trump’s short absence, contrasting it with Biden’s lower public visibility while in office.

Vice President JD Vance also reinforced Trump’s vitality, telling USA Today that the president has “incredible energy”

and is the last to sleep and first to wake. Despite the rumors, Trump appears healthy and committed to serving his full second term.
