US President Donald Trump on Tuesday address health rumours during a press conference in the Oval Office. Trump said he was "very active" over the Labor Day holiday weekend and dismissed reports on social media about his health as "fake news". The president was responding to a reporter's question about online rumours that he had died, following several days since he had been seen in public. Trump also addressed the speculation about his health in a post on Truth Social on Sunday. The White House has said Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, which means veins in the legs cannot properly carry blood back to the heart, causing it to pool in the lower legs. It is a fairly common condition for older adults.
