Trump dispels health rumors, hits golf course
Share this @internewscast.com

(The Hill) — On Saturday, President Trump enjoyed a day on the golf course, refuting speculations that health problems might be causing him to stay away from public engagements.

He was seen at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., following a series of days without any scheduled public events. This lack of scheduled appearances led to a surge of social media discussions regarding the president’s health, fueled by a viral photo displaying bruising on his hand during a White House Cabinet meeting.

Veteran journalist Laura Rozen has been tracking the president’s activities recently on social platform X, prompting public responses on why Trump had been avoiding media appearances. On Saturday, she reshared images of him at the Virginia golf course.

Vice President Vance also reignited the conversation around Trump’s health earlier this week in an interview with USA Today on Wednesday. Prepared to step in if necessary, Vance emphasized that the president is in “incredibly good health.”

“Yes, terrible tragedies happen,” Vance remarked. “But I am very confident the president of the United States is in good shape, will fulfill the rest of his term, and do great things for the American people.”

“And if, God forbid, there’s a terrible tragedy, I can’t think of better on-the-job training than what I’ve received over the last 200 days,” the vice president added.

His comments come just over a year after Trump’s ear was grazed by a bullet during an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump, 79, became the oldest president to be sworn in when he returned to the Oval Office in January.

Speculation around his health was also reignited last month after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced during a press briefing that he had undergone testing for swelling in his legs and bruises on his hands, such as the one shone in the photo that circulated earlier this month.

He was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition for people over 70 where their veins struggle to pump blood back up to the heart. The bruises are often covered up with makeup.

Vance and other Trump allies have brushed off potential health issues, pointing to the president’s stamina and energy.

“He’s the last person making phone calls at night, and he’s the first person who wakes up and the first person making phone calls in the morning,” the vice president said Wednesday.

The concerns also come as Trump has seen a dip in his approval rating in recent polling.

The president also sat for an in-person interview with The Daily Caller earlier this week, which was published on Saturday.
