Amid ‘Trump is Dead’ rumours, viral motorcade video with ambulance fuels buzz. What we know

Speculation regarding US President Donald Trump’s health intensified over the weekend following a viral video that purportedly showed his motorcade in Washington, D.C., accompanied by an ambulance. This clip sparked discussions online amid trending hashtags like #TrumpIsDead, which emerged just hours earlier. In response to the speculation, Trump stated, “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE,” while replying to a post from conservative commentator DC Draino.

The video featured a line of vehicles resembling a presidential motorcade moving through the streets, with an ambulance among them. Users on social media quickly associated this sighting with Trump. However, the authenticity and timing of the video have not been independently verified.

Experts note that ambulances are typically included in US presidential motorcades for emergency preparedness, which can feature two armored limousines, law enforcement escorts, and medical vehicles. Such arrangements do not necessarily indicate a health crisis for the President.

Concerns about Trump’s health have arisen multiple times throughout the year due to various incidents, including visible bruising and swelling. The White House has previously dismissed such rumors, attributing minor bruises to “soft tissue irritation” and attributing leg swelling to chronic venous insufficiency, a common vein condition.
