Trump Denies Death Rumors Amid Manipulated Image Controversy

Former U.S. President Trump dispelled death rumors circulating on social media, triggered by a manipulated image falsely suggesting his demise.

The image, widely shared with the hashtag #TrumpDead, garnered 35 million views. Trump, addressing reporters at the White House, affirmed his good health and denounced the speculation.

Misinformation watchdog NewsGuard debunked various claims, including an old photo wrongly linked to Trump's health. The rumors intensified during Trump's week-long absence from public events.

Despite social media users pointing to supposed evidence of his hospitalization, credible reports refuted such claims. Trump's team clarified that the image of an ambulance outside the White House was from April 2023, during Joe Biden's presidency.
