Trump spokesperson forced to respond to claims he’s dead or receiving treatment at military hospital

On Saturday at around 11.08 in the morning, the White House announced that Trump would not make a public appearance for the rest of that day, which is unusual as Trump usually goes to Mar-a-Lago at the weekends, where he plays golf.

Trump has gone to Walter Reed National Medical Center in the past, with his last visit being back in October 2025 for an MRI scan.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One at the time, Trump confirmed that he had the scan, saying: “I did. I got an MRI. It was perfect.”

Prior to this, speculation about Trump’s health was renewed when people noticed that he appeared to have a scabbing rash on his neck.

The symptom was spotted at a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House on March 2.

People spotted what appeared to be scabs and a large red rash on Trump’s neck, going from the back of his hairline to behind his ear.

White House physician Dr Sean Barbabella said in a statement: “President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment, prescribed by the White House Doctor.”

Dr Barbabella added: “The president is using this treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks.”
