“Il n’y a jamais eu de président qui ait travaillé plus dur pour le peuple américain que le président Trump,” stated White House spokesperson Steven Cheung, addressing the recent health rumors surrounding Donald Trump.
On April 4, 2026, reports emerged suggesting that Donald Trump had been transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. However, Cheung quickly denied these rumors, asserting that the president would not be making public appearances for the remainder of the day.
Trump, who is currently 79 years old, has faced health speculations since the beginning of his second term. In a previous statement, he confirmed, “Oui, j’ai passé une IRM. C’était parfait,” referring to a scheduled follow-up MRI conducted in October 2025.
The results of that MRI were reported to be excellent for his age, with Trump’s physician, Sean Barbabella, noting that it was part of his health maintenance program. Trump remarked, “Le médecin a dit que c’était l’un des meilleurs résultats jamais vus pour cet âge,” highlighting the positive outcome of his medical evaluation.
Despite the ongoing concerns regarding his health, the White House has maintained that Trump is fit to serve. The president’s age makes these health discussions particularly relevant, as he is one of the oldest U.S. presidents in history.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the latest hospitalization rumors, but officials continue to emphasize Trump’s commitment to his duties. As the situation develops, further updates are expected from the White House.
