• By Saturday morning, 158,000 posts on X included the phrase “TRUMP IS DEAD” and 42,000 said “TRUMP DIED,” following a published schedule with no weekend events.
• The White House points to a July diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and a physician’s note that he remains in excellent health, as Vice President J.D. Vance said he is prepared for continuity if a “terrible tragedy” occurred.
