Walter Reed Medical Center reacted to rumors that First Lady Melania Trump had been seen at the hospital.
Leftists have recently fueled unsubstantiated rumors that President Donald Trump is experiencing declining health, pointing to a bruise on his hand as evidence that he is ill. Such speculation was present in an Instagram Threads post from Coral Ben-Atar of Dumfries, Virginia, who alleged that she saw Melania Trump at the medical facility last week.
Look:

“Went to Walter Reed on Thursday to be monitored in Labor/Delivery because I’m very pregnant. Mid being monitored in triage guess who showed up for an unscheduled ‘tour’ of L&D? Melania Trump. Even the staff was confused as to why she was there. Looking at news reports that Trump has disappeared, I find it a little odd that Melania was randomly roaming the halls of Walter Reed only to follow with reports that her husband is MIA,” the woman posted.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, Ben-Atar also maintained that she had seen the first lady, saying, “I didn’t interact with her!”
“Please direct your inquiry to the White House Press Office,” Walter Reed told the outlet after being contacted about the alleged visit.
This came after rumors ran rampant around social media, questioning where the president had been, with some people actually going so far as to theorize that he was dead. Of course, this was proven false when he stepped out for a game of golf with his granddaughter, Kai Trump, on Saturday, and then hit the green again on Sunday by himself.
“I have heard, it’s sort of crazy… It’s so fake… I was very active this Labor Day,” Trump said, when asked by Fox News’s Peter Doocy about the trending topic.
X users reacted to the claims:
Why would she be in labor & delivery if she were there to see her husband?

Didn’t realize you could be dying and golfing with your granddaughter at the same time. You people have lost your marbles!

Libs when Joe Biden is absent for 4 years: *crickets*
Libs when Trump goes under the radar for a few days: “look at this man completely abandoning his duties.”
Cognitive dissonance levels high enough it could power cities.
