The famous social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) is full of tweets claiming that President-elect Donald Trump passed away due to a heart attack after two ambulances came out of Mar-a-Lago with vans full of Secret Service.
However, truth to be told, Donald Trump is absolutely fine, in perfect health, and ready to take the Oval Office starting in January.
It appears that the two ambulances and several vans, which looked full of Secret Service, left Mar-a-Lago as a part of Vice President-elect JD Vance’s motorcade.
NOW: Per pool, 2 ambulances and several vans that appeared full of @SecretService have left Mar-a-Lago in the last few minutes.

Now, you might wonder why they had an ambulance in the motorcade. Interestingly, having an ambulance in the motorcade is a mandatory precaution protocol, and they are actually part of JD Vance’s motorcade.
Furthermore, as per USA Today, a Secret Service spokesperson reportedly stated that neither Trump nor anyone else at Mar-a-Lago left the property in an ambulance under the protection of the Secret Service.
Andrew Feinberg, the White House correspondent for the Independent, ‘s original tweet only stated, “NOW: Per pool, 2 ambulances and several vans that appeared full of @SecretService have left Mar-a-Lago in the last few minutes.“
So, many speculated something might have happened to President-elect Donald Trump, which in turn sparked the demise from heart attack rumors.
Andrew we are not tracking any Secret Service directed medical transports from Mar-a-Lago and from our personnel on the ground, there are no issues or concerns with any Secret Service protectees on property. If there is an ambulance it may be an unrelated issue.

Later, Chief of Communications for the United States Secret Service Anthony Guglielmi commented,
Andrew we are not tracking any Secret Service directed medical transports from Mar-a-Lago and from our personnel on the ground, there are no issues or concerns with any Secret Service protectees on property. If there is an ambulance it may be an unrelated issue.
Following that, Andrew Feinberg later retweeted, saying,
CALM DOWN, PEOPLE. Per a transition source and @SecretService, the ambulances were part of Vice President-elect @JDVance’s motorcade. False alarm. Go about your business.

Therefore, the Donald Trump heart attack claim is false and entirely a misunderstanding sparked by VPE’s motorcade.
Meanwhile, netizens are bashing the Independent’s White House correspondent for starting a misunderstanding with a sensationalized tweet.
One criticized him, writing, “You knew exactly what you were doing by making this post. This is ridiculous. Fake news.“
