Donald Trump has gone live to set the record straight after bizarre rumours of his death spread online.

The U.S. president laughed off the speculation, insisting he is “very much alive” and calling the chatter “fake news at its finest.”

The death hoax had started trending earlier this week, sparking thousands of posts and memes across social media.
But Trump wasn’t having any of it, making it clear that he’s still here.

The live appearance comes as he continues to dominate headlines with his ongoing campaign as he moves Space Command headquarters to Alabama from Colorado.

As for the rumours? Trump says they can “rest in peace.”
