Eric Trump has launched a blistering attack on what he describes as "twisted" and "sick" conspiracy theories surrounding his father's health, as former President Donald Trump was spotted enjoying a golfing weekend at his Bedminster club.
The Trump scion spoke out vehemently against online speculation about the 78-year-old's physical condition, dismissing the rumours as politically motivated fabrications. "It is sick that people would even go there," Eric stated, expressing his frustration at the persistent health narratives circulating on social media platforms.
This defence comes amidst a relatively light public schedule for the former President, who has been seen golfing on multiple occasions recently. Observers noted Trump's appearance at his New Jersey golf course, where he maintained his characteristic vigorous walking pace between shots.
Political Motivations Behind Health Speculation
Eric Trump suggested the health conspiracies emerge from political opponents seeking to undermine his father's capabilities. "They can't compete with his record, his policies, or his vision for America, so they resort to these pathetic attacks," he asserted during his impassioned defence.
The timing of these health rumours coincides with increased scrutiny of both presidential candidates' physical and mental fitness ahead of the upcoming election. Political analysts note that health concerns have become a standard feature of modern presidential campaigns, though they rarely rise to the level of conspiracy theories.
Golf as Presidential Barometer
Trump's frequent golf outings have become something of a barometer for commentators attempting to gauge his physical condition. His ability to maintain an active golf schedule at nearly 80 years old, supporters argue, demonstrates considerable stamina and vitality.
Despite the online speculation, those who have recently encountered the former president describe him as appearing "healthy," "energetic," and "engaged" - directly contradicting the darker theories circulating online.
The Trump campaign has consistently pushed back against health-related speculation, maintaining that the former president remains in excellent physical condition and fully capable of handling the demands of the presidency.
