The internet and the countless lawsuits against former President Donald Trump are not keeping him down.
During Halloween, those who did not support Donald Trump decided to spread the shocking rumor that he died.
The #DonaldTrumpisdead was among the top trending on Twitter. There were multiple fake headlines from CNN and Reuters that focused on the death of Trump.
Thousands have decided to share the fake news story on their pages. Moreover, many others have jumped into the comment sections to celebrate the fake passing of the former president.

Realizing that the hoax had gone too far, Reuters decided to fact-check the claims and posted a clear statement that it was not true.
Reuters published an article that revealed: “A screenshot of an alleged report attributed to CNN entitled “Donald Trump dead at 76″ has duped some social media users. The content is fabricated and part of a hoax about the former president.”
The media outlet also reached out to CNN, confirming that no such news about Trump’s death has been reported.
Reuters added: “A spokesperson for CNN, Emily Kuhn, said the image was fabricated, telling Reuters: “CNN did not report this.”
An iteration posted by a verified Twitter user has been retweeted over 1,700 times.
Although some acknowledged the report was not real, others appeared confused. “I thought this was a joke. What a way to go. See you in hell, my man,” one Twitter user commented.”
In a twist of events, while fact-checkers are clearing up fake stories about Trump, he is busy on the campaign trail pushing the claim that he won the 2020 elections.
The real estate billionaire has been traveling across the country to campaign for GOP candidates running in next week’s midterm elections.
The bombastic politician and media personality is also laying the groundwork for another bid to return to The White House in 2024.
During a stop in Iowa, Trump confessed to a roaring crowd that he will “very, very, very probably do it again” in 2024 and asked his backer to “get ready.”
Trump made the following spectacular claims: “I ran twice. I won twice and did much better the second time than I did the first, getting millions more votes in 2020 than I got in 2016. And likewise, getting more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country by far. And now, in order to make our country successful, and safe, and glorious. I will very, very, very probably do it again. Very soon. Get ready.”
It has been said that running again may help his cases.
