Trump Denies Death Amid Health Rumors During Space Command Announcement

President Donald Trump addressed and debunked widespread online rumors about his death and health during a press conference announcing the relocation of the U.S. Space Command headquarters to Huntsville, Alabama. The speculation had intensified after Trump’s nearly weeklong absence from public view, leading to viral theories and conspiracy claims about his condition. Trump emphasized that he had been active and conducting multiple news conferences prior to the rumors, contrasting his situation with that of President Joe Biden, whom he said faced similar scrutiny for not holding frequent briefings. Despite the gravity of the rumors, Trump appeared in good health during the announcement, although some social media users noted his hair appeared disheveled and pointed out visible bald spots. The event, intended to showcase Trump’s vitality, also included his statement that sending National Guard troops to Chicago was a matter of 'when, not if.' Overall, the conference served primarily as a 'proof of life' amidst a wave of conspiracy theories, many of which recycled similar claims from the past involving political figures.
