Donald Trump has dismissed speculation that he is in ill health, saying he was busy on the Labor Day weekend giving media interviews and visiting his Virginia golf course.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very active over the weekend,\u201d Trump, 79, told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday. Asked about rumours on social media that he may have died, he called them \u201cfake news\u201d.<\/p>\n

The president complained that he had done several news conferences last week \u201cthen I didn\u2019t do any for two days and they said \u2018there must be something wrong with him\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so fake. \u2018Is he OK, how\u2019s he feeling, what\u2019s wrong?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Speculation about his health swirled on X over the weekend, with posts citing his lack of a public schedule late last week and a JD Vance interview in which the vice-president told USA Today he was confident the president was \u201cin good shape\u201d but suggested he was prepared to step in if anything happened to Trump.<\/p>\n
