A viral video showing several large black bags being thrown from a second-storey window of the White House has ignited a wave of public speculation about the health of US President Donald Trump.
Captured from what appears to be a rooftop restaurant in Washington DC on 2 September 2025, the footage has fuelled online theories ranging from covert medical waste disposal to soiled clothing linked to an undisclosed illness. The timing of the incident has drawn particular attention, as Trump was recently diagnosed with a vein condition known to cause swelling, bruising, and reduced mobility in older patients.
