Donald Trump was reported alive and working from Washington on Sunday, despite a flurry of viral posts on X claiming the US President had been rushed to hospital or had died at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre.
The news came after dozens of unverified accounts on the platform, still better known by its former name Twitter, pushed unsourced alerts about Donald Trump's supposed hospitalisation and even a fatal stroke. Several of the posts claimed to rely on 'sources close to the President,' yet none offered names, documents or on-the-record confirmation. Within hours, screenshots and breathless rumours were circulating far beyond the small circle of users who started them.
