Rumors claiming President Donald Trump is “missing” or “dead” surged on X today, but there is no evidence to support them. India Today noted “Trump is Dead” trending with tens of thousands of posts. Meanwhile, the White House published video of a Cabinet meeting held Tuesday, Aug. 26, and a July 17 health update—described as a benign vein condition—was read at the podium and reported by Reuters; the physician’s memo also appears on the White House site.
The president also posted publicly on Aug. 29 about the appeals-court tariffs ruling—“ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!”—on Truth Social, and coverage of the decision confirms the tariffs remain in place through Oct. 14 pending a Supreme Court appeal. In short: there is no credible confirmation that Trump is “missing” or deceased; recent official video, medical documentation, and public posts undercut the viral claims.
