Donald Trump is fighting back against rumors swirling about his health, confidently stating that he was far from inactive during the Labor Day weekend. Instead, he was busy conducting media interviews and enjoying some time at his golf course in Virginia.

In a bold declaration from the Oval Office on Tuesday, the 79-year-old president insisted, "I was very active over the weekend." Addressing wild speculations, including alarming social media posts suggesting he might have passed away, Trump shot back with a dismissive, "fake news!"

The president expressed his frustration over the chatter around his health, pointing out that after conducting several news conferences last week, just two days without them ignited concerns about his well-being. "It’s so fake. ‘Is he OK, how’s he feeling, what’s wrong?'" he retorted.

Over the weekend, the whispers intensified, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where users pointed out the absence of a public schedule. Adding to the intrigue was Vice President JD Vance’s interview with USA Today, where he assured that the president was "in good shape" but hinted he was ready to step in if needed.

As speculation mounts, Trump’s strong remarks serve to not only squash rumors but also fire back at a media landscape keen on sensationalism. This incident highlights the ever-active circus of political media, where health rumors can spread like wildfire in an instant.
