IRONY ALERT: Ex-Biden Aide Says It’s ‘Concerning’ For Trump To Disappear For A Few Days

A former Biden aide expressed her “concern” on Monday after President Donald Trump did not appear publicly for several days, sparking rumors across social media that he was unwell or even dead.

Meghan Hays, who served as a special assistant to former President Joe Biden, said that Trump’s absence from the public eye coupled with a series of posts on his Truth Social platform was proof that the White House was not being “transparent” about whether or not the president was in good health.

Hays appeared on Monday’s broadcast of “The Lead” on CNN, where she told host Phil Mattingly that Trump’s behavior was “disconcerting” and “concerning” — despite the fact that she herself had worked in a White House that had actively hidden Biden from both the press and the public.

“I don’t know, I think that everyone would like to know. I think that it’s really disconcerting,” she said of Trump’s weekend spent firing off a few social media posts but otherwise staying away from the press and the public. “The president has been very vocal with press all the time. I think in August, he spent 26 days doing public events or talking to press. So to go down for 6 days and just have a slew of Truth Social posts that are very chaotic and people can’t follow all of them — it’s very concerning, and I think that people — it could be raising questions.”

“The president could just be taking a few days down in August — which is normal for presidents to do. Or there could be actually something wrong. The problem is we don’t know. And they’re not being transparent about it,” she argued.

Mattingly reeled the segment back in, saying that he wasn’t “totally opposed” to Trump “going dark for a couple of days,” especially since, as Hays had noted, he had been going nonstop for the entire month of August.

The rumors of President Trump’s health were put to rest on Tuesday when the president spoke live at the White House about the new location for Space Command headquarters — Huntsville, Alabama.
