Rumors about President Donald Trump being potentially sick went viral on social media after the White House suddenly canceled all of Trump's public events Saturday, March 6. Many on social media speculated that the 79-year-old could be admitted to the Walter Reed Medical Centre, the hospital the POTUS is treated at.
But the rumors were quickly debunked as those in Bethesda, Maryland noted that POTUS's cavalcade was not at the hospital on Saturday, suggesting that the President was admitted there. Members of the press pool then photographed the president on Sunday.
The 79-year-old was seen returning to the White House on Sunday, April 5, after spending time at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia. He was seen fit and walking on his own as he entered the White House.
