00:20A wave of shocking claims is flooding social media,
00:24with users alleging that U.S. President Donald Trump
00:28is either hospitalized or even dead.
00:31The news spread rapidly on X,
00:34with multiple accounts citing unnamed sources
00:36and dramatic breaking-style posts.
00:39Some even claimed Trump was admitted
00:42to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
00:45Others went further,
00:47saying he was just minutes away from death.
00:50One viral post declared,
00:52Donald Trump is reportedly dead,
00:54while another insisted the situation
00:56was being hidden from the public.
00:58But here's the what U.S. says.
01:01There is no official confirmation,
01:04no statement from the White House,
01:06and no credible evidence supporting these claims.
01:09Trump has not yet made full public appearance
01:12in the last few days,
01:14while he is indirectly issuing statements
01:16on the ongoing Iran conflict
01:18and posting updates on social media.
01:21So how did this news came out in public?
01:23According to available information,
01:27the speculation appears to have started
01:28from a single account,
01:30which claimed Trump had not appeared in public for days.
01:33That claim quickly snowballed.
01:36Other accounts amplified it,
01:38adding unverified details
01:40and turning speculation into supposed breaking news.
01:43In one case, a video used as proof was actually from 2024,
01:49after an earlier incident,
01:51completely unrelated to current events.
01:54Even AI chatbot Brock weighed in,
01:57calling the viral claims baseless
01:59and highlighting the lack of credible sourcing.
02:01This is a textbook example of how misinformation spreads in real time.
02:07Unverified posts, echoed by influential accounts,
02:11can quickly create panic, confusion, and false narratives.
02:15And in a moment of global tension,
02:18especially during the ongoing Iran conflict,
02:20such rumors gain even more traction.
