The frenzy was fueled by Donald Trump’s absence from public events over the weekend, his recent visible health concerns, and resurfaced clips of him appearing frail in public.

A past remark from Vice President J.D. Vance about being “prepared in case of tragedy” added fuel to the uncertainty.

Reactions online split into three camps. Some users dismissed the story outright as politically motivated fake news. Others demanded transparency about Trump’s health, pointing to the White House’s silence as suspicious.
