For some milder ones, I’ve heard both that the wrecked gambling ship off Coronado has a hoard of silver coins, and that the old arsenic mine on Black Mountain has gold.

My guess is food poisoning. Not something bad enough to cause inevitably-leaked panic in Trumpworld but also not something you can work while dealing with (not that he exactly works anyway, but still), and just embarrassing enough to be lied about.
