In a stunning accusation that’s already setting social media ablaze, far-right firebrand and former Trump ally Nick Fuentes is claiming the White House is hiding something serious about Donald Trump.
“There is obviously something going on with Trump that the White House is covering up,” Fuentes posted on X Sunday. “This is literally Biden 2.”
It’s not the first time questions have swirled about the president’s health. But coming from Fuentes — who once championed Trump as the leader of the “America First” movement — the allegation hits differently. He’s not a left-wing pundit lobbing predictable attacks. He’s one of their own, turning inward with a blunt force accusation: Trump may be alive, but he’s not well.
The warning from Fuentes echoes years of concern over the Biden administration’s alleged attempts to paper over the president’s mental decline — a topic reignited by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s Original Sin, which detailed the backroom panic and media stonewalling surrounding Biden’s cognitive state. Now, Fuentes says we’re watching the same movie again — only the lead has changed.
For months, a growing number of online sleuths, critics, and even former supporters have pointed to signs something’s not right with Trump. Swollen ankles. Bruised hands. Unsteady walking. Mental lapses. It’s not just gossip — these are things people have seen with their own eyes, and they’re asking the obvious question: why is no one in the mainstream talking about it?
The bruises have especially raised eyebrows. First spotted during a February meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Trump’s right hand appeared to be badly discolored — and poorly hidden with makeup. That same bruising showed up again in April. Then June. Then July. Each time, the concealment seemed more obvious, more desperate — thick, orange-toned concealer that clashed so badly it only made the marks more glaring.
Insiders and body language experts haven’t missed it either. In recent Oval Office appearances and Cabinet meetings, Trump has consistently clasped his hands tightly together, tucked one hand beneath the other, or even hidden them completely under the desk — anything to keep them out of view.
But last Monday, during a golf outing, the bruise was back — now on his left hand — and this time there was no attempt to cover it up. The makeup was gone. So was the hiding. It was just there, in plain sight. The message, intentional or not: ignore this, and move along.
Except people aren’t moving along.
Fuentes’ claim has reignited suspicion, not only about Trump’s current physical condition but about who might be managing the optics behind the scenes — and why.
The bigger issue isn’t whether Trump has a bruise, a limp, or an off day. It’s the pattern. The absences. The effort to control the image. And the silence from the very institutions that should be pressing for answers.
If there is something going on with Trump, and the White House is burying it, it’s not just a political problem. It’s a cover-up.
