Questions are being raised regarding the whereabouts of former US President Donald Trump, as he has not been seen publicly for a day. Numerous posts on social media platforms, specifically on X, claim that Trump has been absent from the public eye for over 24 hours. His schedule for August 30th and 31st did not include any scheduled public appearances. The White House has not issued any statements addressing the situation.
This speculation comes amidst existing concerns about Trump’s health. Trump has been observed with marks on his hand, which have led to some questioning his well-being. On several occasions, he has been seen using makeup to conceal these marks.
One individual noted that Trump had not been seen for more than 24 hours and that there were no public events scheduled for the next two days. Despite his absence from public engagements, Trump has been active online, based on his posts on Truth Social.
The situation may be related to the upcoming Labor Day weekend, which is to be celebrated on September 1st. Trump was reportedly scheduled to spend the last two weeks of August at his New Jersey resort but decided to remain at the White House.
Trump’s doctor, Sean Barbeilla, has acknowledged the marks on his hand, attributing them to mild soft tissue irritation caused by frequent handshakes and aspirin intake. He also suggested that the marks may be a result of the aspirin Trump takes to prevent heart-related illnesses.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump is a man of the people and interacts with and shakes hands with more Americans daily than any other president. She emphasized his unwavering dedication, which he demonstrates every day.
Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance stated in an interview that he is prepared to assume the presidency if a tragic event were to occur, adding that Trump is in excellent health.
