The White House has strongly denied online rumours that President Donald Trump was hospitalised, after a routine press “lid” triggered speculation on social media. Posts claiming Trump was taken to Walter Reed were debunked, with fact-checks showing the circulated motorcade footage was from 2024.
Donald Trump, 79, has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency following swelling in his lower legs. Ultrasound exams showed no signs of severe health issues, and Trump is not experiencing discomfort.
