Russian state TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov recently weighed in on the health rumors about US President Donald Trump. Solovyov, who is an ally of Vladimir Putin, made the comments on the Russia 1 channel following days of speculations about Trump, including that he had died, as he has been absent from the public eye for a while.
Trump, however, has dismissed the rumors. In a Truth Social post, the commander-in-chief said he has "never felt better."

In Solovyov's monologue in the program on Sunday, August 31, he focused on the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit where Putin and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping previously touted a pivot away from the US-led world order. Solovyov said that he thought the meeting of world leaders like Xi, Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi indicated a shift in the geopolitical order away from Europe and the US. He even mocked Trump for failing to get a deal over his plans to acquire Greenland, Canada, or the Panama Canal.

"That's it, Trump is gone," Solovyov said. "They show a video of him playing golf, but it's two months old.” He provided no evidence about the age of the video that showed the US President healthy and happy.
Solovyov also addressed a past interview in which JD Vance said he is ready to take over if anything should happen to Trump. "He [Vance] must know something," Solovyov said.
