Trump Denies Death Rumors Amid Health Speculation

President Donald Trump addressed and dismissed widespread rumors about his health and alleged death that circulated online during the Labor Day weekend, attributing the speculation to fake news and media misinformation. Despite a brief absence from public events, Trump emphasized that he remained active, citing his recent busy schedule including news conferences and a Cabinet meeting, and noted that his absence was shorter than comparable breaks taken by President Biden. Trump also engaged with the public through multiple posts on Truth Social and a lengthy interview, reinforcing his claim of being in good health. Photos of a bruise on his hand had fueled the rumors, but Trump and his administration, including Vice President JD Vance, firmly denied any health issues, with Vance expressing confidence in Trump's fitness to continue his presidency. Trump’s public reappearance in the Oval Office to announce the new US Space Command headquarters was viewed as a deliberate move to quash the speculation. Overall, the President conveyed frustration over the false health claims while reiterating his vitality and ongoing leadership activities.
