Trump to make a televised announcement after deluge of social media rumors

President Donald Trump is scheduled to make an announcement on Sept. 2 following a weekend of unsubstantiated social media speculation about his health.

After not appearing in public last week with no public events on his calendar for Labor Day weekend, social media ran amok with rumors that he was severely sick or even dead. But as of Saturday, he was golfing with two of his grandkids in Virginia. Pool reports show he visited his golf course Sunday and Monday, too.

Trump’s public schedule states he is scheduled to make an announcement Tuesday afternoon, his first official appearance since a Cabinet meeting last week. Here is what to know:

How sick is Donald Trump?

Earlier this summer, the White House announced Trump has common vascular disease, but tests did not find evidence of more serious conditions.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt gave an update on the results of the president’s health tests on July 17 following media speculation about his visible symptoms, like hand bruising and swelling in his lower legs.

She said he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency or CVI, which occurs when leg veins fail to send blood back to the heart properly.

The bruising on the back of his hand was caused by frequent handshaking and aspirin, the White House previously said.
