Reporter Presses Trump On Crazy Rumor: ‘How Did You Find Out Over The Weekend That You Were Dead?’
From the Right
AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy got a strange look from President Donald Trump — and a chuckle from Vice President JD Vance — when he asked the president point blank about the rumors of his death that had circulated over the weekend.
During an Oval Office event on Tuesday afternoon, Doocy pressed Trump to reveal when and how he’d come to find out that he’d died over the weekend.
“How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?” Doocy asked, prompting a quick sideways glance from the president, but no other change in his expression. Vance, standing behind Trump and to his left, was clearly amused by the question.
