The White House had schedule released for the weekend indicates no public events are planned for Saturday or Sunday, with only in-town pool call times set for 8:00 AM EDT. This unusual quiet has amplified speculation, though no news outlets have substantiated the claims.
Posts on X range from alarmed assertions of a health crisis to apparent hoaxes or satire.
“WAIT! Donald Trump wasn’t seen yesterday by the White House press pool. He wasn’t seen today. Plus he has no public events scheduled this weekend.
“Basically, Donald Trump hasn’t been seen in public since Wednesday. Is something going on with Trump?” An X user, Lucas Sanders, asked.
Another user, Laura Rozen, a journalist said, “Trump has no public events scheduled all weekend. Don’t believe he was seen today either.”
Rumors may be tied to recent events, including Trump’s low-profile status after a busy week of policy actions, such as signing executive orders on cashless bail and flag burning, as well as his ongoing legal battles, which include the attempted firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
There have been viral videos claiming that “The Simpsons” predicted Trump’s death in August 2025 due to a chest illness. However, these videos seem to be manipulated or misinterpreted content.
No official health updates have been released, and Trump’s recent diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency in July has not been linked to any current claims.
The White House schedule for Monday, September 1, also indicates no planned public events, with only an in-town pool call scheduled for 8:00 AM EDT.
So far, neither the White House nor Trump’s team has addressed the rumors. The absence of scheduled public appearances could be routine, considering the weekend timing, but it has contributed to the ongoing speculation. Historically, similar unverified claims on social media have often been debunked later.
