While announcing the moving of Space Command headquarters to Alabama on Tuesday, President Donald Trump addressed rumors of his death as he uncharacteristically stayed out of public view for nearly a week.
Asked if he had seen the weekend social media posts indicating he was no longer living, Trump initially said “Really? I didn’t see that” and then talked about his activities over recent day.
Trump said despite a lack of public appearances up until Tuesday that he did “numerous” interviews and had some “pretty poignant” posts on his social media site.
The president said he went to visit “some people” at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia as well.
“I was very active over the weekend,” Trump said.
Tuesday’s announcement about Space Command was the first time he’s spoken publicly for a week.
He was largely out of sight for an unusually long stretch of time.
On Sunday, the 79-year-old president posted “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE” on social media.
His participation in a Cabinet meeting last Tuesday stretched for three hours, including a monologue, conversations with top officials and questions from reporters.
