A recent social media frenzy erupted over false rumors of former President Donald Trump’s death, but a US official has debunked the claims. Journalist Barak Ravid quoted the official confirming Trump’s well-being and mentioned that he was out playing golf. The Israeli journalist, known for his work with CNN, Axios, and Channel 12, shared this update on X, where unverified reports of Trump’s demise had sparked discussions.
Speculations arose due to Trump’s absence from public appearances for a few days and a photo showing a bruise on his hand. However, it is common for presidents to have weekends without scheduled events. Trump has been active on Truth Social during this period.
Vice President JD Vance’s comments further fueled the rumors. While acknowledging Trump’s good health, Vance noted that unforeseen events could occur. He expressed confidence in Trump’s ability to complete his term successfully.
