People have been worrying about Donald Trump’s health since July. Back then, people noticed his hand looked bruised and his legs looked swollen. Doctors said the swelling was from a vein problem, and the bruises were from “shaking hands too much.” But many people did not believe that and thought it could be something more serious.
More rumors started when Trump was seen again with a new bruise. Then, he disappeared from public view. He was not seen after Tuesday, and no events were on his schedule.
On Thursday, JD Vance gave an interview that made people even more nervous. He said he was ready to step in as president if a “terrible tragedy” happened. He also said Trump was “in very good health” and should finish his term, but the way he said it did not calm people down.
Trump finally showed up in public on Saturday morning. He was seen leaving the White House with his granddaughter Kai. They were going to his golf course in Virginia.
He wore a white polo shirt, black pants, and a red MAGA hat. But people were not looking at his clothes. They were looking at his face. Many online said he looked swollen, pale, and not healthy.
