President Donald Trump appeared alive and well Saturday morning, shutting down a grotesque death hoax that had been spreading across left-wing circles online.
The president was spotted in Virginia ahead of a golf outing with his grandchildren.
That appearance ended hours of wild speculation that Trump had somehow died.
The hoax began circulating earlier in the week.
Much of it centered on Trump not being seen publicly since Tuesday, though the claim had no factual basis.
Some of the speculation tied back to Vice President J.D. Vance’s August 27 interview.
Asked about the role of the vice president, Vance said he was “ready to step in if there was a terrible tragedy.”
Hoaxers seized on the remark, as Trending Politics reported.
From there, left-wing extremists took to social media to openly celebrate the idea of Trump being dead. Political streamer Vaush wrote, “They’re putting orange paint and a wig on Vance as we speak.”
Another X user wrote, “I don’t care if Trump is still alive, I’m going to like every post I see that says he’s dead. Put it out into the cosmos.” That post gained over 70,000 likes.
Others joined in by posting demonic images and openly wishing for Trump’s death. It echoed similar behavior in 2020 when the president contracted COVID-19.
Some of the amplification came from well-known left-wing commentators. David Pakman asked, “Is Donald Trump alive, right now? I don’t I’m asking the question literally, I mean he probably is, but where is Trump?”
Pakman then claimed Trump “had not been seen” for three days, before speculating his TruthSocial posts were being written by AI.
The hoax collapsed Saturday morning when Trump was seen in Virginia, smiling and preparing for golf. Photographs quickly spread, destroying the rumors.
Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese also debunked the claims. “Here’s me and the president before our interview yesterday. He’s very much alive! More coming soon,” Reese posted on X with a photo of her and Trump.
The false rumors were fueled further by ongoing speculation about Trump’s health. The president, 79, was recently diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition involving weakened valves in the veins that makes it harder for blood to return to the heart.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, the condition impacts roughly 1 in 20 adults and becomes more common with age.
Dr. Chauncey Crandall, a top cardiologist in Palm Beach, told Newsmax the condition is “fairly benign” and manageable. “This does not mean that you’re going to die. You’re not going to have a stroke or something like that,” he said.
Crandall said treatment options include compression stockings or mild medication.
He also noted Trump’s stamina. “President Trump is a little different than other 80-year-olds. He’s almost like a bulldog. He has great endurance.”
