Overview

• Photographers captured President Trump at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, on Saturday, undercutting false online claims that he had died.
• The White House and the president’s physician reiterated that he has chronic venous insufficiency, a common and benign condition in older adults, with no evidence of deep vein thrombosis, heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness.
• Officials again attributed the visible bruise on Trump’s hand to frequent handshakes and routine aspirin use, noting the mark has at times been covered with makeup.
• Vice President J.D. Vance told USA Today he is confident in Trump’s health yet prepared to assume duties in the event of a “terrible tragedy,” a comment that helped fuel social media speculation.
• The rumor surge followed several days without public events on Trump’s schedule, even as he posted on Truth Social and granted an interview published Saturday.
