After disappearing from official events for three days, U.S. President Donald Trump dispelled recent death rumors by making a public appearance with his family at his privately owned golf club in Virginia on the 30th (local time). At that time, President Trump was spotted by the press accompanied by his granddaughter Kai and grandson Spencer, directly demonstrating his healthy and calm daily life and dismissing concerns about his well-being.

On the morning of that day, President Trump appeared at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia with his granddaughter Kai and grandson Spencer. This scene was captured by the White House press pool, strongly indicating that his health is 'normal.'

According to CNN, President Trump is known for enjoying public exposure, having participated in 26 public events this month alone. However, as there were no public events scheduled from the 27th to the 29th, hashtags such as #TrumpIsDead and #WhereIsTrump spread online, fueling the rapid circulation of rumors claiming "President Trump is dead."

The situation was further complicated when Vice President J.D. Vance, in a media interview, stated that the president is "healthy but preparing for any contingency," a comment interpreted as hinting at the possibility of a transfer of power and sparking controversy.

Additionally, a recently released photo of President Trump's hand showing a noticeable bruise added fuel to the health speculation. The White House had to release a physician's statement explaining that the area was irritated soft tissue caused by frequent handshakes and aspirin use.

At 79 years old, President Trump is drawing attention to health risks associated with an aging presidential system, following his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, who is 82 years old.
