Washington, USA – President Donald Trump of the United States (US) has reacted to viral rumours about him being allegedly dead.

As reported by People, during a press conference on Tuesday, September 2, Trump was asked by a reporter whether he was aware that many social media users thought he died last week.

The 79-year-old replied:

“No. “Really? I didn’t see that.”

Trump added:

“That’s pretty serious stuff. I knew they were saying, like, ‘Is he okay? How’s he feeling?’ … I had heard that, but I didn’t hear that to that extent.”

Trump then blamed the conspiracy theory on “fake news” and blamed the media for spreading it, although the theory arose organically from social media users and was never treated as fact by major news outlets.
