Claims and rumours on US President Donald Trump's health sent social media into a frenzy over the weekend.
The White House later said these were “insane conspiracy theories” cooked up by “deranged liberals”.
Chatter on X amid ‘press lid’ led to speculation that the President had been admitted to a hospital.
The White House announced that the President would not appear before the public, but later clarified that it was due to an ongoing search-and-rescue operation for a missing US airman in Iran.
The White House's official communications account addressed the speculation, stating that President Trump “literally never stops working”.
This is not the first time rumours regarding Trump's health have gone viral, with previous instances including a bruise on the President's hand and swelling in his legs.
