Internet in Chaos as “Donald Trump Is Dead” Trends Worldwide — Spokesperson Confirms: He’s Just Napping

June 7, 2025 – Palm Beach, FL

Social media exploded into chaos late Friday night when the hashtag #RIPTrump skyrocketed to the top of trending topics worldwide — all due to a completely false death rumor that former President Donald J. Trump had passed away in his sleep at Mar-a-Lago.

For nearly two hours, panic and confusion rippled across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok, as millions of users mourned the supposed death of the 45th President of the United States. A black-and-white photo of Trump with angel wings circulated with the caption: “Rest easy, Mr. President.”

But just as conspiracy theories started flying and cable news networks scrambled for answers, Trump’s long-time spokesperson Liz Harrington issued a firm and rather irritated correction:

> “President Trump is not dead. He’s fine. In fact, he was napping after a long afternoon of golf, steak, and yelling at the TV. Please stop sharing fake news.”

The Origin of the Hoax

According to internet sleuths, the hoax began with a single tweet from a parody account posing as CNN. The tweet — which read, “BREAKING: Former President Donald Trump dies peacefully at Mar-a-Lago. Age 79.” — gained over 300,000 views in under 30 minutes before being flagged and removed.

Unfortunately, the damage was already done. Dozens of unverified YouTube channels went live with dramatic titles like “TRUMP DEAD — BREAKING NEWS”, some even adding funeral music in the background.

One popular account even posted a “leaked” video of what it claimed was Trump’s body being wheeled out of a private suite — which was later revealed to be footage from a 2020 hospital drama.

Family Reacts

Donald Trump Jr. posted a sarcastic Instagram story:

> “Just talked to Dad. He’s alive and ranting about CNN. So yeah, false alarm, folks.”

Eric Trump took a more humorous route:

> “Whoever started that rumor, I hope you like lawsuits. My dad’s not going anywhere — except maybe back to the White House.”

Melania Trump has yet to comment publicly, though insiders say she was “briefly startled” before rolling over and going back to sleep.

Trump Breaks Silence

Around midnight, Trump himself addressed the frenzy in a Truth Social post:

> “FAKE NEWS MEDIA AT IT AGAIN! I’m not dead — I’m stronger, smarter, and more ALIVE than Joe Biden’s approval ratings. Thanks for the free press!”

The post ended with the hashtags #StillHere, #PresidentialNap, and #SleepyJoeJealous.

Social Media Fallout

By morning, “Trump is Alive” was trending nearly as hard as the original rumor. Memes flooded the internet, with one popular post reading: “Trump died and resurrected in 3 hours. Not Jesus — just caffeine.”

Others poked fun at the absurdity:

> “Even death can’t cancel this man.”

> “Trump napping caused more panic than a missile alert.”

Despite the debunking, conspiracy groups online insist “something is being hidden,” with a few even suggesting the Trump now alive is a clone or “body double.”

Final Word

As of this writing, Donald Trump is very much alive, reportedly enjoying a Diet Coke by the pool and watching the news about his own death on loop.

“I might sue myself for defamation,” Trump joked to aides.
