Asked if he was prepared to step in as president in case of tragedy, Vance said Trump, 79, was “in good shape” and remained highly active. He added, “Yes, terrible tragedies happen. But I feel very confident the president of the United States is in good shape, is going to serve out the remainder of his term and do great things for the American people.”

Daily Caller correspondent Reagan Reese said on X, while dismissing the rumours, “I wake up to see people freaking out that Trump’s sick or dead or something because he hasn’t been seen in a few days. I was with the president yesterday afternoon. I interviewed him for an hour.”
Trump last made a public appearance on August 26 during a televised cabinet meeting. Previously, he was spotted at the Virginia club golfing with former MLB star Roger Clemens.
