Statement on 'Trump hospitalized' claims

Claims circulating on social media regarding the health of US President Donald Trump, alleging that he had been "hospitalized," have been categorically denied by the White House. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung announced that Trump continued his work in the Oval Office throughout the Easter weekend.

As claims regarding US President Donald Trump's health, specifically that he had been "hospitalized," sparked widespread public speculation, an official statement was issued by the White House addressing the rumors. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung stated that the claims do not reflect the truth and announced that Trump is continuing his duties. Various claims had surfaced in US media and on social media platforms suggesting that President Trump had been taken to the National Military Medical Center in Washington. The fact that Trump had not been seen in public in recent days contributed to the rapid spread of these claims.

Clear denial from the White House

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung denied the claims in a statement posted on his social media account. Cheung stated, "There has never been a president who works harder for the American people than President Trump. He has been working non-stop at the White House and the Oval Office throughout this Easter weekend. God bless him." Cheung's statement was also shared via the official White House X account, providing an institutional response to the rumors.

Changes in Trump's schedule drew attention

The fact that US President Trump has not appeared in public in recent days and changes to his schedule drew attention. Trump was last seen on screen during his address to the nation on Wednesday evening. Following this, it was planned for Trump, who has not been seen in public since, to remain in Washington instead of his usual preference for Mar-a-Lago in Florida for the weekend. The White House's early conclusion of its schedule on Saturday morning was also interpreted as meaning that Trump would not be attending any events during the day.
