In a surprising and emotional turn of events, the Trump family is facing a heartbreaking loss that has left them reeling

Sources close to the family have confirmed that Donald Trump’s longtime personal aide and confidant, John Keller, passed away unexpectedly over the weekend due to a sudden health complication. Keller had been by Trump’s side for over two decades, managing everything from travel schedules to personal affairs, and was considered a trusted member of the inner circle.

The former President was reportedly “shaken” by the loss, and has canceled several upcoming engagements to grieve privately with his family. Melania and other family members have also released statements expressing their sorrow and paying tribute to Keller’s loyalty and years of service.

“John wasn’t just a colleague. He was family,” Trump said in a brief statement released Monday morning.

Supporters across social media have been sending condolences, with #RIPKeller trending within hours of the news breaking.

This loss marks a deeply personal moment for the Trump family, who are known for keeping a close-knit inner circle. Plans for a memorial service are underway.
