Trump Alive and Well After False Death Rumors

Online rumors of President Trump’s demise were greatly exaggerated — much to the dismay of creepy leftist critics.

The president took a brief hiatus from public appearances this week, sparking morbid theories and social media posts speculating he had died.

But the haters had their hopes dashed Saturday morning when Trump appeared alive and well at the White House.

Trump was photographed in a white polo, black pants and his signature red MAGA hat about 8:45 a.m. , appearing alongside his granddaughter, Kai Trump, as they loaded up in a vehicle headed for his golf club in Sterling, Va.

Suspicions that the president had died were stoked on Friday, when the White House released a blank schedule with no public events for the president during Labor Day weekend.

The schedule came four days after Trump’s last public appearance, during his Tuesday cabinet meeting.

The hiatus sparked the hashtags “#TrumpIsDead” and “#WhereIsTrump,” which trended on X throughout Friday night and into Saturday morning.

“Waking up to #TrumpIsDead and #whereistrump reminds me that JD “Popekiller” Vance has been spending a lot of time around Don lately…” the Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson posted to X on Saturday, referencing how Pope Francis died shortly after meeting the vice president in April.

While the president wasn’t physically seen by White House reporters on Friday, Trump took to Truth Social, posting about a federal appeals court ruling that declared his tariffs trade agenda illegal.

“ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT! Today a Highly Partisan Appeals Court incorrectly said that our Tariffs should be removed, but they know the United States of America will win in the end,” he said. “If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country. It would make us financially weak, and we have to be strong.”
