No, Trump's health condition doesn't give him 4 days left, as viral TikTok rumor claims
President Donald Trump, who turned 79 years old on June 14, 2025, was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency or CVI. A viral rumor is going around TikTok that President Donald Trump only has four days to live, but it isn't true. Trump was recently diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency that has caused swelling in his lower legs. The White House physician described the condition as "benign and common," and the White House said it is common for people in their 70s. (Trump turned 79 years old on June 14.) Several videos on TikTok say the president only has four days left, some with hundreds of thousands of likes. There is no indication that is true. "The president remains in excellent health," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at the July 17 briefing, where she announced the condition. She also told reporters he wasn't in any pain. More: Can Donald Trump run for president in 2028?

As part of his testing, Trump underwent an echocardiogram, diagnostic vascular studies, bloodwork and ultrasounds. "Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease," White House physician Capt. Sean Barbabella said in a July 17 memo. "All (lab work) results were within normal limits." How old is Donald Trump? Trump turned 79 on June 14. He shares the record with former President Joe Biden for the oldest president at their swearing-in. When is Trump's term up? Trump is in his second term, which ends in 2029. Presidents are limited to two terms by the Constitution. Contributing: Joey Garrison and Adrianna Rodriguez, USA TODAY Kinsey Crowley is the Trump Connect reporter for the USA TODAY Network.

Who will perform at Trump's birthday military parade? A list of who's played for him before
Washington, D.C., will be the stage for thousands of soldiers, military equipment and musical performances this weekend for the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary celebration. The festivities will take place along the National Mall on June 14, which also happens to be Donald Trump's 79th birthday. Trump's push for a military parade started back in his first term, though the idea has been controversial since its conception. But the planned festivities include more than a parade, as the Army event website boasts vendors, kid zones and meet-and-greets with "Army soldiers, NFL players, influencers and celebrities." Plus, there will be live music. As with celebrity endorsements, performers at Trump's events and ceremonies have been a point of contention. So, who will perform at the Army birthday parade? More: Donald Trump is front and center for Army's big DC birthday parade Among the military demonstrations and equipment displays, visitors will enjoy live music at the Army birthday celebrations. Here is the lineup: U.S. Army Drill Team U.S. Army Band: Latin Music Ensemble U.S. Army Band: Downrange DJ Nyla Symone Scotty Hasting, a former Army infantryman who was wounded in Afghanistan Noah Hicks, a country singer from Nashville At the 2025 inauguration, country star Carrie Underwood performed "America the Beautiful."

At Trump's 2016 swearing-in, Jackie Evancho, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Missouri State University Chorale and the United States Marine Band performed.

A recent Instagram post from Donald Trump Jr. shows one of his sons standing a bit taller than him. Don Jr. is already 6'1".

Trump has a new presidential portrait. These other iconic photos hang in the White House
The White House has released a new official presidential portrait of Donald Trump, his second version since he returned to office. Similar to the portrait released in January, Trump is giving the camera a serious stare with his eyebrows furrowed. But the new image features more dramatic lighting on a black backdrop, instead of the flag and ornate wall in the background of the previous portrait. Also, Trump swapped his blue tie for a red tie. The new portrait, announced in a short video on X, hangs in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and has replaced the previous portrait on his official biography online. In his first few months in office, Trump has decorated the White House with other pieces of art that pay homage to some pivotal moments in his journey back to office. Take a look: More: Donald Trump's White House 'Gold Guy' is a 70-year-old cabinetmaker who lives in Jupiter The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on why the portrait was updated. Trump has decorated the White House with other memorable imagery from the years between his two presidencies. In February, an open Oval Office door revealed a framed photo of Trump's mug shot taken following his 2023 arrest in Georgia on charges alleging he tried to overturn the 2020 election results. (The case never went to trial and faces an uncertain future following the disqualification of the Fulton County District Attorney). In April, the White House posted on social media showing a new portrait of Trump's fist pump after surviving an assassination attempt at a July 13 campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania. The painting on canvas by Marc Lipp was created for Trump, a White House official previously told USA TODAY, and it replaced a portrait of former President Barack Obama on the White House State Floor. The Obama portrait was moved across the foyer. Trump's portrait, released ahead of the Inauguration, showed him wearing a similar pointed stare in front of an American flag. In 2017, he simply smiled in front of the presidential flag and ornate wall in the background, similar to his early 2025 portrait.

Why is Trump suing CBS? What to know about complaint dating back to Kamala Harris interview
The president and CEO of CBS News resigned from her position, the latest in an ongoing legal tussle between the network and President Donald Trump that started back in the 2024 presidential campaign. Wendy McMahon told staff in a memo she was leaving because she had disagreed with the company, according to Reuters. CBS News is facing a $20 billion lawsuit from Trump over how it edited his former opponent Kamala Harris' answer to a question on the U.S.-Israeli relationship in an October 2025 interview on "60 Minutes." Trump has long railed against the media, and the lawsuit against CBS is playing out amid several pushes from the administration that are alarming press freedom advocates. Here is what to know about the lawsuit. Can I still tune in to PBS and NPR? What to know after Trump's order to cut funding Trump first filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the network in October over allegations that it deceptively edited a '60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Harris, his Democratic Party opponent in the presidential election. Trump raised the claim for damages to $20 billion in February, according to Reuters. CBS has repeatedly denied the accusations, and legal experts have told the New York Times the lawsuit is 'baseless.' The lawsuit entered mediation last month, signaling that CBS's parent company Paramount Global could choose to settle, raising concerns over how that may embolden the administration's increasingly aggressive stance toward major media organizations, the New York Times reported. McMahon's exit follows the departure of longtime "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens in April. Owens, who announced he would leave the venerated show at the end of the season, cited concerns about editorial independence, according to a memo seen by Reuters. Owens said it had 'become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it,' according to a note to staffers, CBS reported. Yes. It is standard practice among news outlets to edit to fit time or space constraints, experts previously told USA TODAY. During a teaser clip for the interview on Oct. 6 on 'Face the Nation' when Bill Whitaker asks Harris about the U.S.-Israeli relationship, viewers see a different video response from the vice president than on the subsequent '60 Minutes' broadcast on Oct. 7.
