Overview

• Late Monday press guidance set a Tuesday Oval Office announcement, described only as an "announcement" with no topic provided.
• Reporters noted the schedule offered no details, and the White House did not elaborate on the purpose of the address.
• Trump’s sparse public schedule over the past week drove viral queries such as "Is Trump dead?" and "Where is Trump" across search and social platforms.
• To counter speculation, the White House released images and said the president spent roughly five and a half hours golfing over Labor Day.
• Commentators online floated unverified scenarios including resignation or 25th Amendment actions, while Vice President J.D. Vance publicly affirmed confidence in Trump’s health and tenure.
