WASHINGTON, DC: During the first year of President Donald Trump's second term, concerns were raised regarding the POTUS' health after he was seen closing his eyes during meetings, which some claimed he was dozing, along with bruises on his hands.

Recently, a rumor circulated online claiming that the White House has launched 'Operation Brown Eagle' to deal with Trump's 'gastrointestinal events.' But is there any truth to this? Let us find out below.

Claim: White House launched 'Operation Brown Eagle' to deal with Trump's 'gastrointestinal events'

On February 27, X account @roguesnradvisor came up with a post that read, "BREAKING: White House 'Operation Brown Eagle' - secret protocol in place to deal with Trump's 'gastrointestinal events'."

The post garnered more than 130,000 views, and around 1,000 X users liked the post. The post also contained an alleged copy of an 'internal memorandum' from the White House.



The memorandum mentioned the purpose, stating, "This memorandum supersedes all previous iterations of the Operation Brown Eagle protocol, including versions 4.1 through 4.6, each of which proved inadequate to the evolving operational requirements of the President's condition."

It added, "For this document, 'the condition' refers to the President's chronic, severe, and apparently untreatable gastrointestinal crisis, hereafter referred to as 'the Shitstream'."

Meanwhile, for the background, the post mentioned, "Since assuming office, the President has experienced an average of 4.7 gastrointestinal 'events' per day (see Appendix C: Daily Incident Log). These range in severity from Level 1 (manageable; handled via standard protective undergarment) to Level 5 (catastrophic; requiring full wardrobe replacement and, in two documented cases, furniture disposal)."

"The President has refused all medical intervention, stating — and this is a direct quote from the Oval Office recording system — 'My body is a perfect machine. A beautiful machine. Better than any machine Obama ever had. These are power movements. Executive movements. The best movements'," it further mentioned.

Fact Check: False, the post originated as satire

The claims made in the online post are false, as the image attached is not an authentic White House document. The post seems to be a fabricated meme or satirical piece designed to mock Donald Trump, based on the post's caption and content details aligning with his known preferences.

Moreover, the X account, @roguesnradvisor, is a parody page with a bio that reads, 'The Rogue Files: Classified Dispatches From Inside the Trump White House', and no credible evidence of this book's existence was found in public records or news sources.
