Trump missing from public view since Memorial Day

Trump Has Been Shielded From Public View For More Than A Week

President Donald Trump has not had any public events on his schedule since Memorial Day, and has barely been spotted at all by the press corps since his three-hour doctor’s appointment at Walter Reed last Tuesday. Trump has sat down for interviews behind closed doors, but has yet to put himself in a situation where his stamina may be scrutinized since the appointment.

Today is no different. The president has policy meetings and “Executive Time” on his schedule — even a “Rose Garden Club” dinner — but no public appearances.

His doctor’s appointment allegedly yielded nothing to be concerned about.

went to the golf course.

Heard this on the news this morning.

Let's watch for old photos, old clips, etc. Also Fox aired an interview with him and it was pre-recorded and they, of course, did not let their audience know it was pre-recorded.

I have heard he has a double who they only use in cars. However, my 2 cents is that this guy looks so old, so miserable, and so pathetic that it is trump.

The only time Biden didn't appear in public for more than a couple days was when he had Covid and stayed in for 6 days.

If this were Biden, the media would be swarming right now and covering his "health crisis!!!" 24/7.

Nobody would even bother to go home with their purchases; just drink right out of the bottles instead.
