White House Denies Rumors of President Trump's Hospitalization Amid Social Media Speculation
The White House has addressed rumors circulating on social media regarding President Trump's health, following an early press 'lid' called on Saturday morning. Speculation arose that President Trump might have been taken to Walter Reed Medical Center for treatment. These rumors were fueled by the absence of public statements from the President after news of American aircraft being shot down by Iran. The White House's Rapid Response team and communications director Steven Cheung have refuted these claims, emphasizing that President Trump is working in the White House. CBS News producer Emma Nicholson also confirmed the President's presence in the West Wing by noting a Marine sentry at the door. Despite the rumors, President Trump's social media accounts have been active, posting updates about economic reports and his approval ratings.
