On November 21, reports of ambulances being present at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate sparked speculation and curiosity online. As rumors spread about a possible emergency involving the president-elect, many began to wonder what had actually happened. However, the presence of ambulances at the scene may not have been linked to Trump at all.
In this article, we will delve into the details about why ambulances were present at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
Ambulances were present at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago for ‘unrelated issue,’ claims Secret Service spokesperson
On November 21, social media posts quickly went viral, claiming that Donald Trump had been seen leaving his Mar-a-Lago estate in an ambulance. The posts, including one on X (formerly Twitter), suggested that Trump had been transported in an emergency vehicle along with a convoy of Secret Service vans. The rumors fueled speculation about a possible health issue.
However, the Secret Service quickly clarified the situation, stating that the reports were false. According to a spokesperson, neither Trump nor any of his Secret Service protectees were taken in an ambulance from Mar-a-Lago. The ambulances present at the scene were part of JD Vance’s motorcade. It is a common practice for high-profile officials and a standard safety measure for all motorcades involving senior political figures. (via USA Today)
The confusion appeared to stem from reports mentioning a large motorcade, which included ambulances and a helicopter, near Mar-a-Lago. These details were misinterpreted, prompting widespread speculation on social media. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi assured the public that there were no medical issues or concerns involving Trump or anyone else under Secret Service protection at Mar-a-Lago.
Steven Cheung, former communications director for Trump, also weighed in. Cheung criticized the exaggerated reports and called them an overreaction. The presence of ambulances was simply part of routine security protocol for high-profile figures.
