Svmuu According to reports on April 4th local time, news about Trump being seriously ill and hospitalized quickly went viral on the internet in the United States. In response, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung posted a statement to debunk the rumors: "Throughout this Easter weekend, President Trump has been working tirelessly at the White House and in the Oval Office." After Trump's social media account posted a message about "the missing pilot has been rescued," Cheung posted again, saying: "Let those disgusting journalists who question the President's whereabouts see, this is what President Trump is doing." The White House also responded to online speculation through its official account: "When President Trump goes 12 hours without a media interview, those deranged liberals start concocting absurd conspiracy theories. (Yet when Biden often goes 12 days without a media interview, they say nothing.) Don't worry! President Trump has literally never stopped working." Furthermore, the White House angrily denounced the account that spread the rumor of "Trump being seriously ill and hospitalized" as "a weapons-grade moron." It is understood that on April 4th local time, Trump's schedule suddenly only listed "executive time," and that morning the White House announced the media term "lid," hinting that the President would not make any more public appearances that day. Social media users interpreted the "lid," Trump's lack of public appearance, and the subsequent absence of public activities as potential evidence that he had been taken to Walter Reed Hospital for treatment.
