President Donald Trump sought to dispel swirling social media rumors about his health Tuesday, saying he was ‘very active’ over the Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n
‘I didn’t do anything for two days, and they said \u2018there must be something wrong with him,\u2019’ Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, describing the speculation about his death as ‘fake news.’<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Trump’s comments followed a wave of unfounded speculation that began Friday night and stretched into Saturday morning, fueled by an empty public schedule and recycled photos showing bruising on his hand. <\/p>\n
The online chatter subsided after Trump was seen leaving the White House with his grandchildren for his golf club in Virginia on Saturday. He was seen wearing a white polo shirt and red MAGA hat.<\/p>\n
‘I was very active over the weekend. I went out to visit some people at the club that I own pretty nearby on the Potomac River. No, I’ve been very active, actually,’ Trump said, drawing a sharp comparison to his predecessor, President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n
‘You wouldn’t see him (Biden) and nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong with him,’ Trump said. ‘And we know he wasn’t in the greatest of shape.’ <\/p>\n
In July, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was experiencing bruising on his hands that was attributable to ‘frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.’ <\/p>\n
She added that he also had mild swelling in his legs that stemmed from a ‘benign and common condition’ in individuals older than age 70.<\/p>\n
