Russian state TV host Vladimir Solovyov spoke about rumors regarding US President Donald Trump’s health, saying, “people are mortal.”
Solovyov, a known ally of Vladimir Putin, made the remarks on the Russia 1 channel after days of speculation about Trump, including false claims that he had died, as he has been out of the public eye for a while.
Trump has dismissed the rumors. In a Truth Social post, he said he has “never felt better.”
In his program on Sunday, August 31, Solovyov talked about the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, where Putin and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping highlighted a move away from the US-led world order. Solovyov suggested that meetings of world leaders like Xi, Putin, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi show a shift in global power away from Europe and the US. He also mocked Trump for failing to strike deals regarding Greenland, Canada, or the Panama Canal.
What did Vladimir Solovyov say?
In a clip shared online, Solovyov addressed rumors about Trump having a bruise on his hand, comparing it to the late British queen. “The whole world is saying that Trump has a bruise on his hand. The British queen also had a bruise and then she died. Everybody dies. Whether they have a bruise or not, people are mortal,” he said.
“That’s it, Trump is gone,” Solovyov added. “They show a video of him playing golf, but it’s two months old.” He did not provide proof about the age of the video showing Trump healthy.
Solovyov also mentioned a previous interview with JD Vance, who said he is ready to step in if something happens to Trump. “He [Vance] must know something,” Solovyov commented.
