Eric Trump rages as explosive rumor about Donald Trump spirals out of control

US President Donald Trump’s third child, Eric Trump, lashed out on social media after netizens started talking about his father's health while he was away from the public eye for a short time. Last week, rumors of Trump's "death" spread widely, which infuriated Eric further. He then called out critics for spreading what he called "twisted lies."

Why did the rumors about health spread so quickly?

President Donald Trump has been under a lot of public scrutiny about his health since he showed signs of problems like swollen ankles, bruised hands, trouble walking, and mental lapses. When he went missing for four days, people started to wonder what happened to him. Some people even thought he had died, as per a report by the Daily Beast.


When Trump showed up at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, on Saturday, the rumor mill stopped. He wrote on Truth Social, "NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE."

What did Eric Trump say online?

Eric Trump shared his father's statement again and called the rumors "sick and twisted," blaming political opponents. However, users brought up his own past comments about Joe Biden's health during the 2020 election campaign.

He wrote on X, “The radical left is so sick and twisted…”

Donald Trump himself added fuel to similar conspiracy theories earlier this year when he shared a post that said Biden had been replaced by "clones" or robotic doubles, as per a report by the Daily Beast.

What did JD Vance say?

Vice President JD Vance told USA Today that he was ready to step in if something bad happened to the president. This added to the rumors. Even though he said Trump was fine, his careful words led to more debate about who might take over.

What does the White House think about Trump's health?

The White House has said that Trump has health problems that come with getting older. Earlier this year, officials said that he has chronic venous insufficiency, which is a problem with his circulation that explains why his ankles are swollen. They also said that the bruises on his hands were caused by taking aspirin and shaking hands a lot, as per a report by the Daily Beast.

Still, people like Nick Fuentes, who used to work with Trump, say there is a "cover-up" going on and compare the situation to Biden's own health problems.
