"The photograph in question showed fighter Kayla Harrison, who had just won the UFC women's bantamweight championship bout, putting her victor's belt around Trump's waist. Users focused on his pants leg and claimed he had a catheter on underneath," according to the Snopes report.

The rumors became so loud, of course, that a White House official needed to step in and attempt to set the record straight with a veritable word salad.

"The President has been the most transparent president in history, and the recent medical report that was released clearly and unequivocally shows he is in peak condition," according to White House spokesperson Steven Cheung. "These conspiracy theories peddled by demented individuals hiding behind social media, and now being given a platform by the fake news, clearly suffer from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome."

To really put the cherry on top of this unnecessary use of everyone's time, Cheung utilized the opportunity to take a shot at President Trump's predecessor, President Joe Biden.

"These are the same people who have been caught trying to gaslight the American people for years by saying Joe Biden was cognitively fine, when in fact, he was in much worse condition than thought," Cheung said, according to Snopes.

For what it's worth, in an April 2025 report in NPR, White House physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella claimed that President Trump was in tip-top shape and the American public had nothing to worry about.

"President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function," Barbabella said at the time.

So, was President Trump wearing a catheter or not? That's for your eyes, on the Presidential Bulge, to decide for yourself.
