On Saturday, President Trump chose to spend his time at the golf course, putting to rest speculations about health concerns that had kept him out of the public sphere.

He was seen at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, after several days with no public engagements on his calendar. The lack of scheduled events sparked a surge of social media discussions about his health, especially after a picture showing a bruise on his hand during a Cabinet meeting at the White House went viral.

In recent days, seasoned journalist Laura Rozen has been monitoring the president’s activities on social media platform X, engaging the public in discussions about Trump’s absence from the media spotlight. On Saturday, she shared photos of Trump at his Virginia golf course.

Vice President Vance also reignited discussions on Trump’s health in a USA Today interview earlier this week. Although he expressed confidence in Trump’s “exceptionally good health,” he mentioned his readiness to assume duties if necessary.

“Unexpected events do occur,” he remarked. “But I am quite sure that the President of the United States is in excellent condition, will complete his term successfully, and achieve great outcomes for the American people.”

“And in the unfortunate event of a major crisis, the experience I’ve gained over the past 200 days has been invaluable,” the vice president further commented.

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.
