Donald Trump is due to deliver a mystery “announcement” after days of rumors and speculation surrounding the president’s health.
Speculation was rife across social media after the White House issued Trump’s daily schedule for Tuesday. Scheduled for 2 p.m., the alert reads, “THE PRESIDENT makes an announcement,” but provided no other details.
The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for more information.
It follows a week of rumors about the 79-year-old’s health, which reached fever pitch when social media users even claimed he may have passed away.
The president’s last public appearance was on August 26 for a cabinet meeting, although he was spotted by reporters heading to golf on Saturday.
Trump demonstrated proof of life on his Truth Social account on the weekend with a string of posts. On Sunday, he even addressed the debate on his health, posting he had “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE”.
Photos taken on Monday showed a tired-looking Trump leaving the White House. He appears to be wearing golf shoes, after weeks of questions about his swollen ankles. His regularly bruised hand is not visible in the photos.
Trump was headed to his golf club in Sterling, Virginia on Monday, remaining in the D.C area for the Labor Day Weekend.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
