Trump dispels health rumors, hits golf course
Source: The Hill
President Trump on Saturday spent time on the golf course, dispelling rumors that health issues were keeping the president out of the public eye.
He was spotted at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., after his schedule was void of public events for several days in a row. The empty agenda set off a flurry of social media posts raising questions about the presidents health after a photograph of bruising on his hand during a White House Cabinet meeting went viral.
Veteran journalist Laura Rozen in a thread on social platform X has kept tabs on the president in recent days, fostering responses from the public about why Trump was steering clear of the media. On Saturday, she reposted photos of the president at his Virginia golf course.
Vice President Vance earlier this week also brought Trumps health back into the spotlight in an interview with USA Today on Wednesday. Vance said he was prepared to step in should something happen to the president though he noted that the commander in chief is incredibly good health.

(1,319 posts)Reposting older photos even? I was hoping he was headed for the exit, but at least he got an eyeful on social media of the number of people waiting and hoping for his demise! How would it feel to realize so many people hate you? Especially for someone who desperately needs attention and approval!

But are these the same person? Or has he had radical plastic surgery on his ear in the last three days? We do know that Trump's ears have magically miraculous healing capabilities after all.
Found this. If it's him he looks like shit. Where are the photos of him golfing?

My gut says he had a major health event. Stroke maybe? And is incapacitated. Also that they are scrambling to shovel enough shit to cover it up.
Ha! Good luck morans.

ETA: His granddaughter in the photos and video was only 12 years old in 2019.
Apparently, he's going to rename the Dept of Defense as Dept of War...so get ready for that one.....
This came from the WH today.
White House moves forward on plans for a Department of War, WSJ Reports
Source: Reuters
August 30, 2025 6:38 PM EDT Updated 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The Trump administration is advancing plans to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing a White House official, after U.S. President Donald Trump raised the prospect on Monday.
Restoring the Department of War name for the government's largest department would likely require congressional action, but the White House is exploring alternative methods to implement the change, the report said. Republican Representative Greg Steube of Florida filed an amendment to the annual defense policy bill that would change the name of the department, indicating some Republican support in Congress for the change.
The White House gave no details, but underscored Trump's comments this week emphasizing the U.S. military's offensive capabilities. As President Trump said, our military should be focused on offense not just defense which is why he has prioritized warfighters at the Pentagon instead of DEI and woke ideology. Stay tuned! said White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly, using the initials DEI to refer to programs aimed at increasing diversity, equity and inclusion.
Trump raised the idea of rebranding the Defense Department as the "Department of War" while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office on Monday, saying it "just sounded to me better."

(34,006 posts)Heck, he even got Cracker Barrel to change their logo.
His still managing to order National Guard
Write nasty EO's.
Tomorrow he's gonna outlaw mail voting.
And he's also planning to change the name of the Dept of Defense to the Dept of War.
He's just as destructive as ever.
He's hell bent on destroying America and he's doing a good job of it.
Yes, he's crazy, but so far I don't see an end to this in the near future.

That is the true message.

(6,142 posts)That does not look like him. Trump has a lot of loose skin on his neck, and he has lost weight. Also, I think this guy's neck is too short to be Trump.

(502 posts)Normal reaction on our part but we have to be more realistic in our expectations. Just because he has swollen ankles, dark spots on his hands, etc. is no reason to get all excited about his impending demise. Hes a 79 year old man and this is quite normal, sorry to say. Nothing life threatening (although I wish it were). I want him gone as much as the next person, but we should not jump to conclusions.

(9,401 posts)Account for this, then:
Go to the Reddit Jersey thread. A fellow Jerseyan was complaining that the roads were shut down because he was supposedly golfing at his Western NJ golf course.
This person was angry because they had some sort of lesson planned and now they could not go.
So now he shows up in Virginia. Supposedly.
Theres a whole lot more wrong here than a bruised hand.
Account for that.

(2,498 posts)Sure, Trump talks big, but in the face of criticism he is a weak, thin-skinned coward. Here is a fool who thinks RJK Jr is qualified as Surgeon General and the best platform against gun violence is wearing a pad on one's ear. His not being seen in public has nothing to do with his physical health, it's the demons inside his head that are getting to him.

(502 posts)He is a 79 year old man with some issues. Very common, but none seem serious. Not life threatening. We all want him gone so badly that we are overreacting. Just because he has not been seen is a few days does not mean anything. I also hope I am wrong because I want him gone as much as the next person.
LeftInTX
(34,006 posts)You can't convince me otherwise.
Yes. he's overweight, but he isn't frail.
Sure, someone will say, "I'm 80, run five miles a day and weigh 150 pounds" (But that is not the average 80 year old)
.
Overall, Trump seems to have the health of an average 79 year old.
But he has the best health care in the world.

though i was crushed to learn he'd been to the golf course. Did he golf? who knows
but yeah it was pretty sweet on BlueSky for a bit. a pre-celebration if you will. I guess in times like this we need to grab a handful of joy whenever it is offered.

(1,234 posts)Convicted criminal, career money launderer, Russian asset, convicted rapist, pedophile, master grifter, and reputed mobster, Donald "StinkyDollHands" Trump (P01135809), the Worst President in United States History, surprisingly died of complications due to a combination of an abrupt guilty conscience and terminal moral bankruptcy on [Date] at the age of [Age]. Trump's normally bloated, morbidly obese, lifeless body, found by his then, male odor wife, Malaria, was slumped over his fabled Gold-plated toilet, and dressed in what appeared to be WWII-era German Lederhosen. His hands were still desperately clutching a first edition, autographed copy of Mein Kampf. . Trump's death truly marked the end of a criminalized, tumultuous and polarizing era/error in American politics.

Donald J. Trump's Epitaph:
.
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
.
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
.
He wed a pornstar cat that caught a crooked rat,
.
And they all lived together in a little crooked shack.
