The White House declared on Saturday, April 4, to deny all allegations related to US President Donald Trump’s hospitalization at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Social media is abuzz with rumors that the 79-year-old president is not in good health.
The speculation started when the White House announced at 11:08 (local time) that Trump would not appear for the rest of the day.
This is a surprising statement from Trump because he is expected to be at the Mar-a-Lago resort this weekend playing golf.
The White House immediately responded, stating that the allegation was completely baseless and that Trump remained committed to his responsibilities.
Health issues have become a recurring theme throughout Trump’s presidency. In particular, his mental and physical ability to serve as president has been called into question due to several failures on his part.
His last known visit to Walter Reed was in October when he had an MRI. At the time, Trump said the scan was “perfect.”
In 2025, the White House announced that Trump suffers from chronic venous insufficiency.
In this condition, veins in the legs struggle to return blood to the heart. However, the doctors assure that the condition is very common in older people.
The US president is also seen wearing cosmetic patches often on the back of his hand.
The White House also denied all these rumors about a possible link between the disease and cosmetic patches, citing that bruises are caused by repeated handshakes, not associated with any vein disease.
