WASHINGTON, DC: A viral rumor on X exploded over Labor Day weekend, claiming President Donald Trump’s official schedule had been abruptly suspended and sparking wild speculation about his health and even death.
Concerns grew as social media users pointed to the president’s age, a visible bruise on his hand, and past sightings of heavy makeup seemingly used to conceal it. As the rumor racked up millions of views, many questioned: where was the 79-year-old president, and was something being hidden?
What is the rumor about Trump's absence over Labor Day weekend?

While the White House remained relatively quiet over Labor Day weekend, a viral video on X ignited a storm of unfounded speculation about President Donald Trump’s health. Posted on September 1, the video featured a narrator speaking in a news-reporter tone, claiming, "In the past few hours speculation has spread suggesting that something extremely serious may have happened to President Donald Trump."
According to the video, the rumors began "when the president’s official schedule was suddenly suspended without any convincing explanation, sparking doubts about his true state of health."
It also alleged that, following a diagnosis of a vascular condition, all of Trump’s official commitments had been canceled and the White House website had stopped listing future events.
"All official commitments have been canceled and the White House website has stopped displaying future events." By the afternoon of September 2, the video had already been viewed more than 1.4 million times.
What are the facts behind Trump's health and alleged disappearance?
Several key facts directly debunk the viral rumors surrounding President Trump’s health and supposed disappearance.
First, the White House confirmed back in July that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, a common vein condition that is not typically life-threatening. Despite speculation, his activities over Labor Day weekend remained consistent and public, though relatively low-key.
He spent time golfing and visiting with his grandchildren, but his official schedule was never suspended.
In fact, from August 25 to September 2, the White House continued to release his daily schedule, documenting numerous meetings, events, and appearances. On August 25, he signed multiple executive orders addressing crime in Washington, DC, flag burning, and cashless bail reform, and he met with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.

The following day, August 26, he led a three-hour televised Cabinet meeting. On August 27, Trump had lunch with Vice President JD Vance and signed a proclamation honoring victims of the Minneapolis Annunciation Catholic School shooting.

Throughout the week, Trump received intelligence briefings, conducted interviews, including one with Daily Caller reporter Reagan Reese on August 29, and made public appearances. Over the weekend, on August 30 and 31, he played golf at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, DC, accompanied by his grandchildren and former NFL coach Jon Gruden. News agencies like AP and Getty published images of him during these outings.

On September 1, Trump returned to his nearby golf club, with photos showing him traveling between the White House and the club. On September 2, he addressed the public from the White House, announcing the relocation of US Space Command headquarters to Huntsville, Alabama, and confirming a US strike on a Venezuelan drug-carrying boat.
He also answered multiple media questions, directly addressing the false rumors by pointing to his busy weekend and frequent posts on Truth Social, including 128 posts in just one week. These documented events clearly contradict claims that his schedule had been wiped or that he had vanished from public life.
Where does the viral video about Trump originate?

A TikTok account originally posted the video on August 30 before sharing it on X.
This account also circulated other videos using AI-generated images that falsely claimed Trump was resigning due to his vein condition, that he met with a body double of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that Republicans and Democrats had "joined forces to completely block" his administration.
Trump’s official presidential schedule remained active and was never suddenly suspended.
