Sharing this on X, Keith Olbermann wrote: BREAKING: Oh nothing. Just a president who talks compulsively but has not spoken publicly in a week scheduling “an announcement” at 2 PM tomorrow, per Trump official WH schedule and shares the schedule.
This comes amid Trump’s absence from press interactions and rumours surrounding the health of the 79-year-old Republican president. Last week, wild rumours surrounding his health flooded social media and hashtags like #TrumpIsDead and #WhereIsTrump were one of the most trending searches.
However, the rumours were crushed when he was spotted on Sunday with his grandchildren as he unwound at his golf course in Northern Virginia. He was photographed leaving the White House and at the golf club. The commander-in-chief was recently diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), visible bruises. But Trump has maintained he is “excellent health”.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had told reporters that they happen from frequent shaking of hands – a major part of the POTUS’s daily schedule.

Higher tariffs?
There has been a flurry of comments from the US regarding India and the ongoing tariff friction in the past 24 hours. Speculations on Trump imposing higher tariffs have become rife as US President has criticised his country’s relationship with India as “very one-sided” and stated that New Delhi had offered to reduce tariffs on US goods to zero. Trump has accused India of fueling Moscow’s deadly attacks on Ukraine by purchasing Russian oil.
The Trump administration has imposed 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs on India and an additional 25 per cent levies for Delhi’s purchases of Russian oil, bringing the total duties imposed on India to 50 per cent, among the highest in the world.
“What few people understand is that we do very little business with India, but they do a tremendous amount of business with us. In other words, they sell us massive amounts of goods, their biggest ‘client,’ but we sell them very little,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

“They have now offered to cut their Tariffs to nothing, but it’s getting late. They should have done so years ago,” he added.
However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has remarked that the rift between India and the US is short-lived and that both countries will resolve the issue soon.
According to an AP report, a threat looms on the horizon that Trump may impose 200 percent tariffs on pharmaceuticals. However, nothing official has been announced about this bitter pill. Jefferies analyst David Windley, quoted by AP, explained in a recent report that tariffs scheduled to take effect in late 2026 might not impact markets until 2027 or even 2028, as companies could rely on stockpiled supplies.

Is Trump resigning?
With the photos of bruises and makeup on Trump’s hand going viral on social media, there has been speculation about his health. But since the White House circular emerged online, several users have been asking the same question: Will Trump step down?
The mystery announcement has drawn significant attention, especially after rumors of Trump’s death spread across social media last week. The buzz began when a Simpsons clip went viral on Instagram, with a narration claiming that “the President is expected to die in August 2025 from a severe chest illness.”
