The White House said on Saturday April 4 that it denied all allegations related to the admission of US President Donald Trump to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Social media is full of rumors that the 79-year-old president is not in good health.
Speculation began when the White House announced at 11:08 a.m. (local time) that Trump would not make any appearances for the rest of the day.
This is a surprising statement from Trump as he is expected to be at the Mar-a-Lago resort this weekend, where he is playing golf.
The White House immediately responded, saying the claim was completely unfounded and that Trump remained committed to his responsibilities.
Health concerns have become a recurring theme throughout the Trump presidency. In particular, his mental and physical capacity to serve as president has been called into question due to several errors on his part.
His last known visit to Walter Reed was in October when he had an MRI. At the time, Trump said the analysis was “perfect.”
In 2025, the White House made public that Trump suffered from chronic venous insufficiency.
In this condition, the veins in the legs have difficulty carrying blood back to the heart. However, doctors assure that this pathology is very common among older people.
The US president is also often seen wearing cosmetic patches on the back of his hand.
The White House also denied all these rumors about a possible link between the illness and cosmetic patches, saying that the bruises are due to repeated handshakes and are not linked to any venous disease.
