Doesn’t he normally spend the weekends playing golf at enormous public expense?

That wouldn't go on the public schedule

He’s kipping on his back.

'Almost certainly'......but the fact it's going viral goes to a real need for the last item out of Trump's Pandora's box of autocratic disasters- hope.

Trump hasn't got anything on his schedule for this weekend. This is not unusual. In fact, it's quite rare for him to schedule events on the weekend. No events on Monday either, which is not unusual because it's Labor Day, a public holiday.

All of that being said, there are a number of reasons this rumour has taken hold so easily - and they're worth exploring.

First of all, Trump is 79. He's the oldest man ever to take the oath of office. And he has some health issues that have been officially acknowledged. But the White House have insisted he's fine. And it's true that when he's seen in public, he's quite spritely for a man his age.

I’m not sure if being unable to walk in a straight line or string coherent sentences together really counts as “quite spritely for his age”. Emotional outbursts on social media and driving around in a golf cart does not a spritely man make.

What's most confusing is that there seems to have been an increase in recent weeks of the number of days Trump isn't seen in public. There were a few days after the Euro leaders meeting where he wasn't seen. And this week, he hasn't been seen since Wednesday's cabinet meeting.

Again, it's August, and Trump hasn't taken a Summer holiday this year. But that in itself is odd. In his first term, Trump spent most of August in Bedminster pretty much every year.

End of the day, Trump is not a predictable man. But he is a man in his late 70s with a number of diagnosed health conditions. While we're here, here's what would happen if a President died in office. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I can improve your first sentence:- "WHEN Donald Trump dies in office..."
