Former President Donald Trump held a press conference Tuesday afternoon to dispel online rumors claiming he had died over the holiday weekend.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump, “When did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?” Trump paused before responding, “No, I didn’t see that. Last week, I did numerous news conferences. All successful, they went very well.”
Trump: “I did a number of Truths — long Truths — and I think pretty poignant Truths. I was very active over the weekend.”

Trump acknowledged hearing speculation that he was sick but dismissed it, insisting he was active throughout the weekend. Appearing tanned and energetic in the Oval Office, he told reporters, “I’ve been very active over the weekend. I didn’t hear [the death rumor]. That’s some pretty serious stuff.”
Doocy also pressed Trump about a circulating video that appeared to show someone throwing a “big bag” out of a White House window. Trump dismissed it, noting that White House windows are sealed and bulletproof, and suggested the clip was AI-generated.

“No, that’s AI-generated. You can’t open those windows; they’re all heavily armored. I know every window up there.”
