On April 4th, local time, a rumor about Trump being seriously ill and hospitalized quickly went viral on the American internet. In response, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung posted a denial: President Trump has been working tirelessly in the White House and the Oval Office this Easter weekend. After Trump posted on his social media account that the "missing pilot had been rescued," he posted again: "Let those disgusting journalists who question the president's whereabouts see what President Trump is doing." The White House also responded to online speculation through its official account: "When President Trump goes 12 hours without speaking to the media, those mentally unstable liberals start making up ridiculous conspiracy theories. (While they say nothing when Biden often goes 12 days without speaking to the media.) Don't worry! President Trump has never actually stopped working." Furthermore, the White House denounced the account that posted the "Trump seriously ill and hospitalized" rumor as "a weapons-grade moron." It is understood that on April 4th, local time, Trump's schedule suddenly only listed "executive time," and that morning the White House announced the media term "lid," implying that the president would not make any public appearances that day. Social media users interpreted the word "lid," Trump's absence from public appearances, and subsequent lack of public activity as potential evidence that he was admitted to Walter Reed Hospital for treatment.

According to Fox News, Odaily reports that US President Trump stated he is considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil if Iran does not reach an agreement soon. Trump believes an agreement could be reached with Iran as early as tomorrow. (Jinshi)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Peter Schiff wrote that Bitcoin's price has only risen by 12% over the past five years. In contrast, the Nasdaq rose 57.4%, the S&P 500 rose 59.4%, gold rose 163%, and silver rose 181% during the same period. If Bitcoin's appeal lies in its superior long-term performance, then why should anyone continue to hold it? Michael Saylor responded, "The time frame is crucial. Since August 2020, Bitcoin has been the best-performing mainstream asset, and the advantage is very clear. If you extend the time frame, this gap only widens."

According to Al Jazeera analysts, it's clear from Trump's latest post that there has been no progress in negotiations or any efforts to bridge the differences between Iran and the United States. Given what we've heard from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the past few hours—that any attack on civilian infrastructure will be met with equal retaliation—we are at a very critical juncture. Trump has threatened to destroy Iranian bridges and power plants, while Iran has threatened to retaliate in kind, targeting civilian infrastructure in the Gulf region and Israel. (Jin Shi)
