Former President Donald Trump is once again at the center of public speculation, this time over a viral photo that some social media users claim shows a medical catheter in his pant leg. The photo, taken on June 9, 2025, at a UFC event, shows Trump posing with champion Kayla Harrison, but attention quickly shifted to a visible line on his trousers. Online commentators suggested it could be a Foley catheter, while others dismissed it as a harmless pant crease.

Trump’s health has long been a topic of political discussion, especially given his age. At 78, he is the oldest president to begin a second term. Despite refusing to release his full medical records during the 2024 campaign, Trump has repeatedly claimed he is in excellent health. His White House physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, confirmed in a recent report that the president remains in “robust” condition, citing normal exam results and treatment for minor health issues such as high cholesterol and a benign colon polyp.

The report also detailed that Trump had undergone cataract surgery in the past and continues to maintain an active lifestyle. Nevertheless, social media posts have pointed out what they believe are signs of declining health, including bruising on his hand and possible leg braces. Experts, however, note that Foley catheters are rarely used by mobile patients in public and would not typically be visible as suggested.

In response to the speculation, White House spokesperson Steven Cheung dismissed the claims as baseless and politically driven. He emphasized that Trump’s recent medical evaluation confirms his fitness for office and criticized social media for spreading misinformation. While online rumors persist, there is no verified evidence to support concerns about Trump’s current health.
