Donald Trump to Deliver Rare White House Address Amid “Trump is Dead” Rumours
A surprise press conference from US President Donald Trump is set to take place later today, following days of frenzied speculation fuelled by viral online claims that he had died.
The White House confirmed that the President will speak at 2 p.m. ET, yet no agenda has been outlined. The sudden move has set social media ablaze, especially after the bizarre hashtag “Trump is dead” trended throughout the weekend.
Questions over Trump’s well-being intensified after weeks of limited public appearances.
His recent diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a circulatory condition, only added fuel to the fire. Supporters and critics alike dissected his absence, with some posts hinting at resignation, others at serious illness, and the most extreme suggesting his death.
Recent photographs worsened the speculation. Bruises on his hands. Swelling around his ankles. The images sparked health rumours that the White House strongly denied, insisting the President remains in “excellent health.”
Trump himself pushed back against the speculation on Truth Social, writing: “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.”

He was later spotted golfing in Virginia with his grandchildren, looking relaxed and at ease. Still, the sudden press conference announcement has left Americans bracing for news.
There is no official word on the subject of today’s Oval Office remarks. Analysts suggest the event could be an attempt to silence critics. Others believe it may reveal a major political update.
One thing is certain: the unusual timing, paired with the dramatic backdrop of viral death rumours, ensures the announcement will be watched closely worldwide.
As anticipation builds, all eyes remain on Washington. Will the press conference draw a line under the speculation? Or will it ignite a fresh wave of questions about Donald Trump’s future?
