US President Donald Trump dismissed health rumours on Tuesday (September 2), saying he was doing fine. He added that the former American president, Joe Biden, did not appear for months, and nobody questioned him. But when people did not see him for a few days, rumours rose that he was "dead".
"Last week, I did numerous news conferences... I didn't do any for two days and they said there must be something wrong with him. Biden wouldn't do them for months... nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong," the American president said.
"I was very active over the weekend," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump called the rumours of his bad health "fake news". "I didn't see that," the 79-year-old Republican said when a reporter told him of the widespread speculation on social networks, including X that he was in poor health, with some users even suggesting he had died, after several days in which he did not appear before the media. "That's fake news," he added.
Trump moves Space Command headquarters
Trump announced Tuesday that the US Space Command headquarters is being moved from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Huntsville, Alabama, which will be known as the ‘Rocket City’. Reversing the decision made by President Joe Biden, Trump said the move was necessary as the US was “losing the space race to China and Russia.” Trump’s statement came after years of dispute between Colorado and Alabama over hosting rights for the facility. “The US Space Command HQ will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City,” Trump said.
