US President Donald Trump's latest attempt to avoid cameras has reignited speculation about his health, with critics and supporters alike questioning why the 79-year-old has limited his public appearances. On Sunday morning, Trump was spotted leaving the White House en route to Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, where he kept his head down and shielded himself from photographers. The outing marked the second consecutive day he appeared reluctant to face the press, prompting fresh debate over his physical condition.
Rumours surrounding Trump's wellbeing have escalated in recent weeks after bruising on his hands, swelling in his ankles and an unusual absence from scheduled public events. White House correspondents noted that Trump had not been seen since Tuesday's Cabinet meeting, with Vice President JD Vance telling USA Today he was prepared to step in 'if there's a terrible tragedy'. While Trump later insisted on Truth Social that he had 'never felt better', social media users speculated that photographs from his weekend outings were recycled or even featured a body double.
