Today, unverified social media posts claimed President Trump had been taken there for undisclosed reasons, citing road closures and a White House “lid” (a press statement that no public appearances would be made that day). However, the White House and Trump’s communications team quickly denied the reports, saying there was no hospital visit and that the president had been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office during the Easter weekend.
Fact-checkers and outlets such as PennLive and Times Now found that the claims were based on unverified posts and misleading videos, and that images from outside Walter Reed showed no Marine One or motorcade, with roads open.
Trump’s health has been a topic of discussion in the past, with the White House noting he has a minor issue of chronic venous insufficiency and undergoes routine evaluations, but no emergency treatment or hospitalization. It was false, a scam.
People want these scammers removed from social media. They got a lot of clicks.
BREAKING – X users are now demanding that leftist accounts who ran a targeted campaign spreading false claims about President Trump’s ailing health and hospitalization at Walter Reed Hospital lose monetization.
