White House Addresses Trump Walter Reed Rumors on Social Media: 'Fear Not!'

Source: MEDIAite

Apr 4th, 2026, 5:14 pm


The White House’s Rapid Response team addressed rumors circulating on social media that President Donald Trump must be incapacitated because of the early press “lid” called Saturday morning in the midst of the Iran war.

Trump did not make any press statements Friday following news of multiple American aircraft being shot down by Iran and the frantic search for one airman still missing. In addition, the White House declared a press “lid” at 11:08 a.m. Saturday, indicating there would be no updates because the president was engaging in “Executive Time.”

“Deranged liberals cook up insane conspiracy theories when @POTUS goes 12 hours without speaking to press,” read a post on the Rapid Response 47 X account. “(They said nothing when Biden routinely went 12 days without speaking to press).”

“Fear not! President Trump literally never stops working,” the account added.

So he can see how hard we will be in joy when he is out of office. Hust like when Joe Biden was called the winner in 2020. There were parties everywhere that Saturday.

Justice matters.

The word HOPE in big letters over a rainbow above his tombstone with the death date 2026. I also put a little devil's pentagram on the top where a cross or jewish star would be.

He cons idiots to do it for him. That's not work.

I think the White House rapid response team protests too much. As if insults and stupidity will convince everyone that pedo Trump is a healthy man. Why don't they just trot the demented psychopath out for show and tell? Much easier than spouting bull crap

Because the pedophile is incapacitated in some way. Dementia comes and goes and I bet his dementia right now is coming on so hard they can't hide it, especially if he had another stroke. Time to pump him up with Adderall.

We all know Trump can't keep his mouth shut and if it's the weekend he is out tormenting golf balls. Why haven't we seen his ugly face or heard his snarling voice. Just because there are posts on @realDonaldTrump doesn't mean Trump is doing the posting. This most recent profane threat to visit further war crimes on Iran sounds more like Miller untethered rather than Trump.

I follow the news closely, but I do not know the answer to this question: Has anyone physically seen or heard Trump in public since Friday?

Something strange is going on. Is Trump incapacitated or is he getting another medical treatment of some sort?

MIerda47 on the other hand, not only does he WANT the spotlight he NEEDS the spotlight on a daily basis.
So, not explaining the daily operations about our military in Iran, is a big deal.
We already know how deranged he, we just want to see how much he is deranged.
