During a White House press conference, President Trump addressed rumors circulating on social media that he had died over the weekend. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned the president about how he learned of the claims, but Trump did not directly answer. The president asserted his health was fine, citing recent public appearances and social media activity, including a post stating “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt attributed a visible bruise on Trump’s hand to frequent handshakes, aspirin use, and a medical condition affecting blood flow. The speculation intensified after Trump remained at the White House during a holiday weekend with limited public visibility.
