On November 22, 2024, two ambulances and several vans filled with Secret Service agents were observed departing Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
This development was reported by Andrew Feinberg of The Independent, citing a pool report.
The specific reasons for this activity remain unclear, leading to public speculation about potential incidents at the estate. Mar-a-Lago, owned by former President Donald Trump, has been under heightened security measures, including the deployment of robotic dogs by the Secret Service, following recent events.
Two ambulances and multiple Secret Service vans were spotted at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on Thursday, sparking speculation about Donald Trump’s health.
Two ambulances and multiple Secret Service vans were reportedly spotted at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on Thursday.
The Independent’s White House correspondent, Andrew Feinberg, citing a protective pool, reported that about 20-25 cars and two ambulances were seen at Donald Trump’s Florida estate and a “helicopter was seen hovering above.” The news sparked speculation about Trump’s health. Hashtags “Pray for Trump” and “Pray for Donald Trump” began trending on X.
“If something happened to Trump, be prepared for massive unrest in our country. Pray for Donald Trump and the United States,” one person wrote on X.
Another wrote, “We need proof of life on Donald J. Trump ASAP!”
A third person commented, “I hope everything is OK with President Trump.”
However, Andrew Feinberg later clarified the vehicles were part of Vice President-elect JD Vance’s motorcade. Both Trump and Vance are reportedly fine, with no incidents reported.
“CALM DOWN, PEOPLE. Per a transition source and Secret Service, the ambulances were part of Vice President-elect
JD Vance’s motorcade. False alarm. Go about your business,” he wrote on X.
He added, “At 4:40 pm I got a call from a source who told me the ambulances were with the VPE motorcade. This is standard practice.”
When asked for details he said, “At 4:14 pm a CBS producer with a view of MAL sent out this pool note: ‘Two ambulances and couple of vans full of what looked like secret service officers just drove out of MAL. I captured the motorcade coming into MAL via iPhone. Will feed shortly.'”
Secret Service and Trump campaign officials responded the reports.
Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said, “Andrew we are not tracking any Secret Service directed medical transports from Mar-a-Lago and from our personnel on the ground, there are no issues or concerns with any Secret Service protectees on property. If there is an ambulance it may be an unrelated issue.”
Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung wrote on X, “The press has set up a fake, unofficial “pool” because they want to feel important about themselves. In this case, some idiot at CBS overreacted and set off the fire alarm for no reason thinking they were going to get the scoop of a lifetime. F—–g dummy.”
