Rumors about Donald Trump's health surfaced after the White House declared a press 'lid' on April 4, sparking speculation that he was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Social media users linked the 'lid' to unverified claims of hospitalization, which were amplified by prediction markets and commentators without confirmation.
The White House addressed the rumors, stating that Trump was 'working nonstop' at the White House and Oval Office throughout the Easter weekend. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung released a rare statement claiming that the president was working hard for the American people.
Trump has been active on Truth Social, posting updates on various topics, including his stance on Iran and the rescue of a US pilot shot down over Iran. The rumors come after Trump faced increased scrutiny over his health in recent months, with many pointing to apparent physical limitations and discolored hands.
