President Trump and Granddaughter Kai Trump Quash Death Rumors with Golf Outing

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 31, 2025 - President Donald Trump dispelled rampant online speculation about his health and whereabouts today when he emerged alongside his granddaughter, Kai Trump, before departing for a weekend golf outing.

Reports of the president’s supposed demise exploded on social media after no public appearances were logged for several days, propelling hashtags such as #TrumpIsDead and #WhereIsTrump to trend on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Shortly before 8:45 a.m. ET, pool photographers captured President Trump dressed in a white polo shirt, black trousers, and his signature red “Make America Great Again” hat, walking with 18-year-old Kai Trump across the South Lawn of the White House. The pair boarded the presidential motorcade en route to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, effectively putting rumors of his decline to rest.

Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese, who interviewed the president just one day prior, reinforced the scene’s normalcy, noting, “I wake up to see people freaking out that Trump’s sick or dead or something because he hasn’t been seen in a few days. I was with the president yesterday afternoon. I interviewed him for an hour”.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later underscored the routine nature of the outing, emphasizing President Trump’s commitment to both public and private schedules, even amid a holiday weekend traditionally reserved for family time and golfing.
