US EditionTrump Appearing In Public Today For The First Time In A Week—Amid Death Rumors
Rumors of President Trump's death spread widely on social media after a three-day public absence and a White House live stream outage, with no credible evidence found, experts say.
- In late August 2025, a viral trend declaring "Trump Is Dead" spread widely on X, coinciding with a disruption of the White House's live streaming service and a notably reduced public presence from President Trump.

- Rumors intensified with social media speculation, unexplained hand bruising, Trump's chronic venous insufficiency, and his absence from public events all weekend.
- Vance expressed that, in the unfortunate event of a serious crisis, he believes the experience gained over the past 200 days has prepared him exceptionally well, while Trump's physician confirmed that the president remains in very good health.
