On November 21, there were claims circulating on social media that President-elect Donald Trump had been taken from Mar-a-Lago in an ambulance. However, these claims were false, as confirmed by a Secret Service spokesperson. The ambulances were actually part of Vice President-elect JD Vance’s motorcade, and there were no issues or concerns with anyone under Secret Service protection at Mar-a-Lago.
Despite being the oldest person elected president at 78, Trump did not require any medical assistance on that day. The presence of ambulances in political motorcades is a standard practice to provide immediate medical care in case of emergencies. The reports about the ambulances causing alarm were criticized by Steven Cheung, the former White House communications director under Trump.
This incident adds to a series of false claims circulating around Trump, including a debunked rumor about a bomb near a Trump rally site and a fabricated social media post about assassins targeting him. It is important to verify information before sharing it on social media, as misinformation can easily spread. This episode highlights the need for accurate reporting and fact-checking to combat the dissemination of false information.
