Maga’s attempt to convince the world that the MIA president is all fine and dandy only escalated the rumours – 23 funniest reactions
In case you missed it, the absence of the publicity greedy president from any press junkets, golf tournaments, or dictator love-ins had the Internet speculating that Trump might have popped his clogs.
Here are a couple of things people were saying about it.
I’m not believing President Trump is dead until I see Jimmy Carter’s Force Ghost looking down from the sky smiling. https://t.co/NWn1SJDSST

I have a giant speaker with "ding dong the witch is dead" cued up and 30 white doves in a cage ready to be released when that news drops.

Those rumours were quashed by various posts showing a well and truly living Trump.

It’s been pretty sick to watch certain members of the press so diddy at the prospect of President Trump being ill that they ran with fake rumors he was dying or already dead. These are bad people. Instead he’s playing golf with Super Bowl champion head coach Jon Gruden pic.twitter.com/sWcVbj4VBx

Unfortunately for Maga, eagle-eyed observers spotted a thing or two.
I’m not a conspiracy theory guy, but if you’re fighting off increasing rumors that you may have suffered a major medical episode and to disprove that rumor and provide proof of life, you post a picture of allegedly playing golf with Jon Gruden today, it would be beneficial to… pic.twitter.com/s0K3upMteJ

Wow… Trump genuinely looks terrible. This isn’t something to brush off. He still hasn’t spoken to reporters. Very concerning. pic.twitter.com/X1AoY4fly6

The president’s posts were also uncharacteristically grammatical.
This is the 3rd post from Trump's Truth Social account this morning. He started around 4 a.m.
Do you think he wrote this? pic.twitter.com/hsxNZM6B53

Which all served to get people speculating about what’s been going on in the White House, and why their proofs of life were so laughable.

I love how when Trump goes five days without openly violating the U.S. Constitution we just all assume he passed away
