Overview

• Photographers captured the president leaving the White House with grandchildren Kai and Spencer before a golf outing, and he was later seen at Trump National in Sterling, Va.
• The appearances followed a burst of false posts on X claiming “Trump Is Dead” and “Where Is Trump?” after a stretch with no public events on his schedule.
• Vice President J.D. Vance told USA Today the president is in “incredibly good health” yet said he is prepared to assume the office if a “terrible tragedy” occurs.
• The White House previously disclosed a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and released records stating Trump remains in excellent cognitive and physical health.
• Officials attributed recurring bruising on his right hand to minor soft-tissue irritation from frequent handshakes and regular aspirin use, as new images this week renewed speculation.
