Donald Trump has been pictured playing golf at his Virginia club, which has put an end to the strange death rumors that have been going around the social media. Wearing a white polo shirt, his trademark red MAGA hat, and black pants, the 47th President appeared at ease and unconcerned by the rumors circulating about him as he departed the White House this morning with his grandchildren.
The White House press pool verified the sighting, pointing out that Trump departed in his motorcade early on Saturday morning before making his way to the links. The report, which was timestamped on August 30 at 8:49 a.m., provided evidence that the GOP leader was still alive and well.
