Social media exploded on August 30 with the claim “Trump is dead”, sending shockwaves across X (formerly Twitter). But the wildfire rumor has now been shut down in the most unexpected way — by Trump’s 19-year-old son, Barron.

Streamer Adin Ross, during a live Kick session, revealed that he had directly received a confirmation from Barron Trump himself. “Guys! I just got confirmed, President Trump is okay by a very close [source] — literally nothing’s wrong,” Ross told viewers, stressing that the teenager had texted him to debunk the chatter.

The viral speculation had stemmed from Vice President JD Vance’s recent “terrible tragedy” remark and Trump’s unusual absence from weekend events. It quickly spiraled into conspiracy theories, with users dissecting his past health disclosures and even zooming in on a visible bruise on his hand.

With Barron’s behind-the-scenes confirmation, the rumor has been put to rest — Donald Trump remains alive and active, despite the internet frenzy.
