Health fears surrounding Donald Trump have completely skyrocketed, due to the fact that the US President has not been seen publicly "in days".
After not being seen at all on Thursday or Friday, Trump has no scheduled events planned for the weekend, leading many online to believe that something drastic has happened to his health.
'Where is Trump?', 'It happened' and 'Trump is dead' have all trended on X over the past several hours, with the President doing nothing to quash these rumors. This comes as the White House were reportedly 'fuming' over the response to Trump's recent health issues.

Vice President Vance said in a new interview that President Trump is in incredibly good health, but he is prepared to step in as commander in chief if needed.
Yes, terrible tragedies happen, Vance told USA Today. 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.
And if, God forbid, theres a terrible tragedy, I cant think of better on-the-job training than what Ive gotten over the last 200 days, Vance added.
Trump is 79 and was the oldest president to be sworn in at the time of his inauguration in January. His health has been in the spotlight after the White House announced last month that he had undergone medical testing for swelling in his legs and bruising on his hands.

Depends whether he could get the same support from Congressional Republicans and the SC

That is absolutely true. I'm surprised that I have not heard anyone else mention it.

My father had similar bruising due to blood draws when he was in his late 80s. He lived to be 99.

Unfortunately, with good medical care it's possible to live a long time with CHF.
