Trump Hits the Golf Course Amid Health Speculations: A Glimpse into His Weekend
Sterling, Virginia (August 2025) — On Saturday, former President Donald Trump was spotted enjoying a round of golf at Trump National Golf Club, alleviating growing concerns over his health that had kept him low-profile for several days.
Following an unusual lack of public engagements, rumors circulated regarding Trump’s well-being, particularly after a image revealing bruising on his hand from a recent Cabinet meeting gained traction online. Prominent journalist Laura Rozen shared updates on platform X, drawing attention from followers questioning the former president’s absence from media appearances. She later posted images capturing him on the lush green of the Virginia golf course.
Adding to the chatter, Vice President Vance mentioned Trump’s health during an interview with USA Today earlier in the week, expressing confidence in the president’s overall fitness. “He is in incredibly good health,” Vance stated, while acknowledging the unpredictable nature of leadership. “Yes, terrible tragedies happen…but I feel very confident the president will fulfill his term and contribute positively to the American public.”
These comments emerge only a year after Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally. At 79, he holds the title of the oldest president sworn into office when he returned to the Oval Office in January.
Further sparking conversation on his health, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified last month that Trump had been evaluated for swelling in his legs and bruising, such as the one seen in the viral photo. A medical diagnosis revealed he is facing chronic venous insufficiency, a condition common in individuals over 70, leading to blood circulation challenges; the visible bruises are often hidden with makeup.
Despite the speculation, Vance and Trump’s supporters have voiced assurances about his vitality, asserting his remarkable work ethic. “He’s the last person making phone calls at night, and he’s the first person making calls in the morning,” the vice president commented.
These health queries coincide with a slight decline in Trump’s approval ratings, but the former president remains engaged, as evidenced by his recent in-person interview with The Daily Caller, published just this weekend.
