Joe Biden seen smiling in photos with daughter Ashley — as debunked Internet rumors swirl about Trump’s health
Former President Joe Biden was seen walking and smiling with daughter Ashley in pictures she posted on Instagram over the weekend — as a macabre Internet rumor claimed President Trump had died.
“I feel so grateful for our walks and talks. #1 dad,” she wrote under a picture of herself and her father walking in Cape Henlopen State Park in Delaware.
The photo shows Ashley, 44, smiling broadly as she looks at the camera, the 82-year-old former president by her side on one of the park’s walking trails.
Another snapshot depicted the father-and-daughter duo standing on a boardwalk at the edge of the Delaware Bay, the ex-commander-in-chief clad in navy blue shorts, black walking shoes, a long-sleeve top with the collar popped, a baseball cap and his trademark aviator sunglasses.
It was the first time Joe Biden was photographed publicly since July 31, when he addressed the National Bar Association’s 100th Annual Awards Gala in Chicago. Biden’s office announced May 18 that he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones.
Meanwhile, the Internet conspiracy machine ginned up a dark rumor that Trump had passed away after the White House released a blank schedule showing no public events over Labor Day weekend, sparking hashtags such as #TrumpIsDead” and “#WhereIsTrump to trend on X.
The president’s thin holiday weekend schedule was announced four days after Trump’s last public appearance during a cabinet meeting Tuesday.
But Trump-haters’ hopes were dashed when a photo surfaced showing him dressed in a white polo, black pants and his signature red MAGA hat Saturday morning with his granddaughter, Kai Trump, 18, as the duo headed to Trump National golf course in Sterling, Va.
Trump did not appear in front of reporters at the White House on Friday, but he did post to Truth Social about a federal appeals court ruling smacking down his tariffs trade agenda as illegal, warning it would be a “total disaster for the country” if the tariffs went away.
