Trump is suddenly camera-shy amid health rumors as ‘most accessible’ president goes dark

U.S. President Trump has kept a low profile over the last few days despite an unusually busy schedule earlier in the month.

Yet, President Trump, whom the White House has frequently touted as the “most accessible” president in the nation’s history, has still attended 26 public appearances in the summer months.

Among Trump’s August presidential appearances was a three-plus-hour-long Cabinet meeting Tuesday, where he commented on issues ranging from pressing world conflicts to Taylor Swift’s engagement.

The following three days, the president had no major public appearances on his agenda before spending his Labor Day holiday weekend in the nation’s capital with his family, during which a press pool spotted him golfing with his grandchildren, including avid golfer, Kai Trump, 18, and Spencer Trump, 12.

Trump was spotted wearing a classic uniform of his, including a white polo, black pants and a “Make America Great Again” red hat while golfing at his golf club in Virginia, alongside Kai and Spencer, on Saturday.

The day before, he did an hour-long interview with the right-wing media outlet, the Daily Caller, with its White House correspondent Reagan Reese describing the president as “very much alive” via social media ahead of the discussion.

Trump’s lack of public appearances in recent weeks has sparked mounting speculation online about the 79-year-old president’s health following weeks of rumors about his well-being after concerning images emerged of his bruised limbs and swollen ankles.
