False claims about US President Donald Trump’s death went viral on X. Several posts said he was hospitalised or had died. One post claimed, “Trump is reportedly dead.” Many users shared these claims without proof. Some cited unnamed sources. However, reports show Trump was active and issuing statements. He recently spoke about the Iran conflict and a rescue mission. There is no official confirmation of any health issue. AI tool Grok called the claims “baseless.” Users later clarified some videos were old. The rumours spread quickly online, showing how misinformation can confuse people during tense global situations.
