“Pray for President Trump”
Rep. Nancy Mace on Sunday morning posted a message on X and wrote, “Pray for President Trump.”
Her sudden post came after the news that Trump had left his Jupiter golf club in Florida for a dentist appointment. The White House stated that it was a “scheduled” meeting with a “local dentist,” according to White House pool reporter Annie Linskey.

No truth to the claims
Recent reporting from The Daily Beast did highlight an earlier “unusual medical visit” by Trump in Florida, prompting some speculation about his health. However, the report did not confirm any surgery or emergency procedure.
Grok on X also mentioned no credible news reports that confirm that the President is undergoing surgery. “Nancy Mace’s ‘Pray for President Trump’ tweet from this morning doesn’t mention surgery or any procedure; it’s vague and likely refers to general health/political concerns amid ongoing speculation about his physicals. Pure rumor,” Grok wrote.
Moreover, in recent news, Trump announced on the evening of May 3 the developments in the US-Iran war. According to Al Jazeera, Trump has declared that ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz will be escorted as a “humanitarian gesture.”
