WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump amplified Vice President JD Vance’s praise of his health and energy by sharing a screenshot on Truth Social on June 28, 2026 at 7:11 PM EST (see truthsocial).

Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “Truth Social post containing one media attachment.”

The post featured a screenshot of an X post from the account RedWave Press, which transcribed an exchange from CBS Sunday Morning. In the interview, JD Vance addressed questions about Trump’s fitness as the president turned 80 years old. “My sense of the president’s health is that it’s off the charts good,” Vance said, describing Trump’s “focus, his energy, his constant grinding.”

Vance shared an anecdote about receiving phone calls at 2:30 a.m. alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Trump would ask, “Were you awake?” and Vance said he responded that he is always awake at that hour. “He’s constantly going. He’s trying to make every single day count,” Vance said. “I think he’s in great health.”

Trump’s decision to share the post draws attention to ongoing public discussion about the age and fitness of the 80-year-old president. His social media activity on Truth Social, the platform owned by Trump Media & Technology Group, remains a central channel for shaping public discourse (see independent.co.uk).

Trump’s Truth Social output has remained prolific. In the last 30 days, 220 of 615 Trump posts fell into the uncategorized topic, reflecting the volume and variety of content the president shares on the platform.

The CBS Sunday Morning interview with Vance provided one of the most direct public assessments of Trump’s health from a senior administration official in recent weeks. The vice president’s remarks framed the president as energetic and engaged, a message Trump chose to amplify to his millions of followers (see thedailybeast.com).
