As US president Donald Trump faces speculation over his health and continued pressure over the Epstein files, the 79-year-old convicted felon has tapped back into the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory by sharing a cryptic post on Truth Social claiming “the world will soon understand” and that “nothing can stop what is coming”.

The image, shared by Twitter/X user Flopop on Saturday, depicts Trump with his arms facing upwards, looking up to the sky as he stands behind Earth which has a fiery ring around its circumference.

Both the White House and Trump’s doctor have insisted the president is in “excellent health”.
