The White House issued a statement Saturday addressing social media speculation regarding President Donald Trump’s health, after an old video of his motorcade circulated online prompting false reports of hospitalization. White House Communication Director Steven Cheung stated that President Trump has been working “nonstop” in the White House and Oval Office this Easter weekend.
Old Trump Video Goes Viral
A clip showing a presidential motorcade on a busy street was shared across social media platforms, including X, Facebook and Instagram, leading to unsubstantiated claims about Trump’s well-being.
“There are some reports, some speculation and unconfirmed info coming in that Trump has been taken to Walter Reed Hospital – it is currently reported that roads around the hospital have been closed, and the White House announced that the President will not appear before the public today,” one social media user posted alongside the video.
Fact-Checking the Trump Video
The footage, however, was identified as being from after the 2024 Butler assassination attempt on Trump. The video is not recent.
“FAKE NEWS ALERT: Leftists are DESPERATELY spreading propaganda that President Trump is HOSPITALIZED. It’s a TOTAL LIE. They’re even using a video of DJT being released from the hospital in 2024 after being SHOT IN BUTLER to push their claim,” one X user wrote.
White House Issues Statement
“There has never been a President who has worked harder for the American people than President Trump. On this Easter weekend, he has been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office,” Cheung said in his statement.
Trump’s Social Media Posts
Earlier Saturday, Trump posted on social media, issuing a 48-hour warning to Iran, stating, “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign (sic) down on them. Glory be to GOD!”
He also wrote on Truth Social, “Not only were the jobs numbers GREAT yesterday, 178,000 new jobs, but the TRADE DEFICIT was down 55%, the biggest drop in history. THANK YOU MR. TARIFF! All of this and, simultaneously, getting rid of a Nuclear Iran. MAGA!!!”
White House Lid
Trump did not travel to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida for the weekend. The White House called a lid shortly after 11 AM local time Saturday, indicating that Trump is unlikely to make any further public appearances today.
