Rumours have flooded social media Donald Trump is dead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The US<\/a> president has not been seen in public for two days, giving the internet plenty of momentum to speculate on where he is.<\/p>\n

It comes after the 79-year-old was spotted with poorly blended and colour-matched concealer on his hand, sparking rumours of bruising and cannula usage.<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance<\/a>, in trying to quash the rumours, only made it worse, insisting he is ready to take the top job in case of a \u2018terrible tragedy\u2019.<\/p>\n

He told USA Today: \u2018Yes, terrible tragedies happen. But I feel very confident the president of the United States is in good shape, is going to serve out the remainder of his term and do great things for the American people.<\/p>\n

\u2018And if, God forbid, there\u2019s a terrible tragedy, I can\u2019t think of better on-the-job training than what I\u2019ve gotten over the last 200 days.\u2019<\/p>\n

There has been absolutely no confirmation Trump is dead, or even any news on his health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s also been no confirmation he is still alive.<\/p>\n

The last notable update on Trump\u2019s health was in July, when the White House<\/a> confirmed he had chronic venous insufficiency \u2013 a vein condition which causes leg swelling.<\/p>\n

The president has not spoken out on issues he was expected to, including on the resignation of the head of the Centre for Disease Control over a vaccine fallout.<\/p>\n

A pizza shop tracker, which tracks the number of deliveries to various important places, has also noticed a spike of activity near the Pentagon<\/a>, which typically means there is something big happening.<\/p>\n

But it might be due to a US missile cruiser heading towards the Caribbean<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The initial post on Reddit<\/a> said: \u2018POTUS (President of the United States) hasn\u2019t been seen since yesterday, wasn\u2019t seen today, and has no public events scheduled this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u2018He hasn\u2019t even been seen in public since Wednesday, and we don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll be seen in public until Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u2018Rumours are circulating that he\u2019s died. Twitter is having a heyday and, after a federal appeals court ruled 7-4 today that POTUS\u2019 tariffs are unconstitutional as they violate Congress\u2019 authority over the purse and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, are joking that POTUS saw the ruling and immediately \u2026 killed himself.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, who has made scarily accurate predictions before, also made a comment about Trump dying at the San Diego Comic-Con.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018When you-know-who dies, The Simpsons predicts that there will be dancing in the streets. Except President (J.D.) Vance will ban dancing.\u2019<\/p>\n

People online have not been shy about hoping the president has met his demise.<\/p>\n

One X user even wrote: \u2018Imagine not believing Trump is dead just because there\u2019s \u201cno evidence.\u201d Where\u2019s your sense of whimsy, your joie de vivre?\u2019<\/p>\n

As Washington DC<\/a> has only just begun to wake up, it is possible we may be hearing confirmation he is alive, or otherwise, soon.<\/p>\n

Trump was meant to be at his resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, for the final two weeks of August before Labor Day on September 1.<\/p>\n

But he scrapped plans to travel, and decided to stay on in the White House, The Washington Times\u00a0report<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

His physician Sean Barbabella spoke about the bruising on his hand, saying: \u2018This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.\u2019<\/p>\n

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also issued a statement clarifying the bruising.<\/p>\n

She said: \u2018President Trump is a man of the people, and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history.<\/p>\n

\u2018His commitment is unwavering, and he proves that every single day.\u2019<\/p>\n
