Trump Rebuts Health Rumors With Golf Outing, 'Never Felt Better' Post

The White House cites a benign vein condition, with social media skepticism persisting.

Overview

  • Photographers captured President Trump leaving the White House on Monday and golfing for roughly five and a half hours at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, according to the press pool.
  • Trump posted on Truth Social that he has "NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE," a message shared after a weekend of speculation about his health and visibility.
  • Online rumors escalated after several days without public events on his schedule, driving hashtags like #WhereIsTrump and #TrumpIsDead across X and other platforms.
  • White House physician notes attribute hand bruising to frequent handshakes and aspirin use and describe leg swelling as chronic venous insufficiency, calling the condition common and non-life-threatening for older adults.
  • Vice President J. D. Vance said he is prepared for any emergency yet emphasized that the president is in "incredibly good health," even as some social media users push conspiracy claims such as a body double.
