Since Wednesday, he has been "out of the public eye"! Trump is unusually low-key, working nonstop over the weekend and not even going to Mar-a-Lago.

As the 48-hour ultimatum to Iran approaches and the whereabouts of a U.S. military pilot remain unknown at a critical juncture, Trump has unusually kept a low profile, neither appearing publicly nor traveling to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend as usual, attracting widespread attention.

According to Xinhua, U.S. President Trump posted on social media on the 4th, demanding Iran reach an agreement or open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Trump said: “Remember I gave Iran a ten-day deadline—either reach an agreement or open the Strait of Hormuz? Time is running out—only 48 hours left before disaster befalls them.”

Forbes reported that Trump has not made any public appearances for several days since Wednesday—his last public appearance was attending the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship hearing on Wednesday during the day, followed by a televised national address on the Iran war that night. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded to public speculation on the X platform, saying Trump has been ‘working continuously in the White House and the Oval Office’ over the Easter weekend.

This unusually low profile happened precisely at the most tense moment: after a U.S. military pilot was shot down in Iran and remains missing, the deadline of the U.S. 48-hour ultimatum to Iran is rapidly approaching.

Unusually Low Profile, White House Announces “Lid” in Advance

According to Forbes, Trump is expected to stay in Washington, D.C. this weekend, rather than going to Mar-a-Lago in Florida as usual. The White House announced a “lid” at around 11 a.m. Saturday, meaning Trump is not expected to have any public schedule for the day.

Trump’s last public appearance was before the U.S. military aircraft was shot down by Iran on Friday. Since then, he has not made any public statements regarding the joint U.S.-Iran search and rescue operation nor the ongoing search efforts as of Saturday afternoon. He only briefly mentioned the matter in an NBC interview on Friday, refusing to disclose details of the rescue operation and claiming that the incident would not affect peace negotiations with Iran.

In the face of this highly sensitive event—the missing U.S. pilot—Trump’s public silence is particularly notable. According to Forbes, he has not yet made any formal public statements about the progress of the search and rescue or military response, relying only on social media posts to maintain a tough public stance towards Iran.

By contrast, on Saturday, he posted on Truth Social, reiterating the 48-hour ultimatum with his usual tough rhetoric.

The White House’s proactive response itself reflects the current level of public pressure. As the Iran deadline enters its final countdown, the public is closely watching Trump’s next statements and whether he will officially address the issue of the missing pilot.
