'Is he resigning?' Trump’s Oval Office announcement plans fuel wild rumors

The internet burst into speculation late Monday over a White House communication teasing an "announcement" from President Donald Trump to come Tuesday afternoon.

The White House issued its daily guidance and press schedule, with Trump expected to make an announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. Eastern Time. But the guidance didn't elaborate, and came as Trump has been noticeably absent from public view.

Trump has largely been absent from the public eye for several days in the past week, particularly from Wednesday through Friday. His absence led to widespread speculation and rumors online about his health and whereabouts, with his last significant public event being a three-hour Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

The Trump team's teaser fueled speculation from internet sleuths.

Keith Olbermann, host of "The Countdown with Keith Olbermann" podcast, wrote on X, "Oh nothing. Just a president who talks compulsively but has not spoken publicly in a week scheduling 'an announcement' at 2 PM tomorrow, per Trump official WH schedule."

Progressive influencer Harry Sisson chimed in, "Woah… Donald Trump is making an announcement tomorrow at 2:00 pm. Interesting…"

Foreign policy journalist Laura Rozen wrote on X, "Notably light Trump public schedule Tuesday."

Meanwhile, the Democratic X account @JoJoFromJerz simply reacted, "Ummmm." She added an emoji of two eyes.

Spencer Hakimian, founder of Tolou Capital Management, wrote on X, "Oh oh."

The Republicans against Trump account questioned on X, "Is he resigning?"

Armand Domalewski, co-host of the "Everybody Gets Pie" political podcast, questioned on X, "What’s the funniest possible thing Trump could announce tomorrow?"

In response, John Oleske, counsel for Complex Legal & Business Matters, replied, "That he’s 'disabled' under the 25th Amendment, but *not* resigning, making JD Vance Acting President, but with Trump still lurking & threatening to resume power. If by funny you mean would totally f--- with JD Vance.

Sami Sage, cofounder of Betches Media, noted, "doesn't say which president."
