President Donald Trump on Tuesday (September 2) dealt with circulation rumors about his health and rejected the demands on social media that he was in poor health or even dead. “I was very active at the weekend,” Trump told reporters in an oval office. When asked if he saw the news, he answered honestly: “Fake.”
When he asked about internet speculation indicating he had died, Trump said, “No, I didn’t hear this one. That’s quite serious.”
“Well, they’re fake news. It’s so fake. That’s why the media has such little credibility. I knew they said,” Is he okay? How do he feel? What’s the matter? “Trump told journalists.” It’s also a kind of longer weekend, the Labor Day Weekend … No, I was very active this weekend. “
“I heard it, but I didn’t hear it to the extent,” Trump said about legends.
Trump told his activities during the Labor Day weekend, including interviews and visiting his golf club in Virginia. “It’s also a kind of longer weekend, you know, it’s a Labor Day weekend. I would say many people know I’m very active this day. I heard it, but I didn’t hear it to that extent,” he said.
He emphasized his continuing public involvement, including lengthy intelligence conferences and a cabinet meeting lasting over three hours.
“… But last week I did a number of intelligence conferences, everyone successful … they went very well and then I didn’t do two days and said there must be something wrong with him,” Trump said.
Updating Health from the White House
At the beginning of July, the White House spokesman Karoline Leitt confirmed that Trump had experienced swelling in his lower legs and bruises on his right hand. President’s doctor Sean Barbabella said that the tests revealed that the leg problem was caused by “chronic venous insufficiency”, which is a common condition for those who are over 70 years old. Bruising on Trump’s hands was attributed to “minor irritation of soft tissues from frequent interference and aspirin”, “part of his cardiovascular regime.
Since then, the White House has downplayed health problems and said Trump has managed the situation. At the age of 79, Trump became the oldest individual who took over the US Presidency in January.
