US President Donald Trump will deliver an announcement after days of rumours surrounding his health. Social media users are now speculating after a White House source said that the president will be making an announcement at 23:30 IST. The White House did not provide further details.
On Monday, Trump was seen leaving the White House to head to his golf club in Sterling, Virginia.
Social media users said that the President looked tired while leaving and returning from the golf game.
The rumours were fuelled by Trump's hand bruises, which were said to be caused by Chronic venous insufficiency, and swelling in the ankles. Netizens had even said that the president might have passed away. However, the White House had said that the POTUS was in excellent health. On Saturday, the phrase Trump is dead had garnered millions of views and landed on top of the search pages.
More conspiracy theories came after a journalist pointed out that Trump was absent from the public eye during Labour Day, the Daily Beast reported. The President did not have any public schedules for the week.
Meanwhile, another announcement was made by the US President saying that his close ally Rudy Giuliani, 81, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the country’s highest civilian honour. trump called the former New York City mayor “the greatest mayor in the history of New York City” and “an American patriot who never gave up on his country.”
Many on social media now think that Trump is going to announce his resignation. The announcement on Tuesday could potentially solve and dispel the rumours and mystery surrounding his health.
