Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller publicly condemned what he described as “malicious and false” rumors being circulated by liberal commentators about former President Donald Trump’s health. In a series of media appearances and social media posts, Miller accused Trump’s political opponents of deliberately spreading misinformation to undermine his 2026 campaign efforts.
The rumors, which began circulating on social media platforms and left-leaning blogs, speculated about Trump’s physical and mental fitness, citing unverified claims and video snippets. Some posts suggested that Trump appeared frail or confused during recent public events. However, no credible medical reports have supported these assertions.
Miller responded forcefully, calling the rumors part of a “coordinated smear campaign” orchestrated by what he labeled as “desperate Democrats” who are “terrified” of Trump’s influence and potential re-election. He insisted that Trump remains “mentally sharp, physically strong, and more energized than ever.”

He also criticized mainstream media outlets for amplifying baseless speculation. “This is not journalism—it’s character assassination,” Miller said. “They are using lies about President Trump’s health because they can’t challenge him on policy or leadership.” He added that such attacks only strengthen Trump’s support among his base.
The Trump campaign echoed Miller’s remarks, releasing a brief statement dismissing the health rumors as “laughable” and asserting that Trump has a full schedule of rallies, interviews, and private meetings that would be impossible if he were in poor health.
The controversy reflects broader tensions as the 2026 election cycle ramps up, with Trump once again playing a central role in Republican politics. Miller concluded by warning conservatives to stay vigilant, claiming that misinformation campaigns will only intensify as Trump’s political momentum grows.
