Former President Donald Trump was seen playing golf in Virginia, dispelling recent rumors about his health and death.
Former President Donald Trump was photographed heading to play golf in Virginia on Saturday, August 30, 2025, amid baseless rumors of his death circulating on social media. The sighting, confirmed by the White House press pool, showed Trump leaving the White House grounds in his motorcade before arriving at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. He was dressed in a white polo shirt, black trousers, and his signature red MAGA hat, appearing relaxed and in good health.
The rumors began after Vice President JD Vance, in an interview with USA Today, mentioned he was prepared to step in as president if a “terrible tragedy” were to occur, despite affirming that Trump was in “incredibly good health.” This comment, combined with a brief period of Trump’s public absence, fueled speculation online.
Adding to the frenzy, a clip from “The Simpsons” featuring a character resembling Trump collapsing resurfaced online, leading some to believe in a fictional prediction of his death.
Despite these unfounded rumors, the recent public appearance of Trump playing golf serves as a clear indication that he is alive and well. The incident highlights the rapid spread of misinformation on social media platforms and the importance of verifying information before drawing conclusions.
As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding any health issues concerning President Trump. The White House has not issued a statement addressing the rumors.
