President Donald Trump posted a trolling message Sunday afternoon to leftists who questioned his whereabouts and spread rumors over the weekend that he had died.
“NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Also, DC IS A CRIME FREE ZONE!”
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker tweeted, asking for "proof of life" on Saturday in response to an earlier post by Trump about sending federal law enforcement into Chicago if officials there couldn't get crime under control in the near future.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first?

It started on Friday when Harry Sisson, a Gen Z Democrat influencer, posted, “Donald Trump hasn’t been seen publicly in 3 days. The White House press pool didn’t see him once today. He has no public events scheduled for Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. Where is Donald Trump???”
Soon, there were more posts offering to pay users who liked their tweets if Trump was actually dead.
The idea took on a life of its own, but all liberal hopes were dashed when Trump appeared back on the scene several times over the weekend.
White House correspondent for the Daily Caller posted that she had interviewed Trump for over an hour on Friday afternoon, and he golfed at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia on Sunday afternoon.
Trump turned 79 years old in June, but his last physical showed him to be in good health.
He looks much healthier than his successor/predecessor, former President Joe Biden, whose frail appearance and evident cognitive decline cost him a second term.
Through a spokesperson, Trump marked Labor Day by touting his "workers-first" initiatives, including pledges from companies to invest nearly $10 trillion into the labor force.
"President Trump believes that American workers are the heart and soul of our economy, which is why he’s championed an agenda that always puts them first — from signing the largest middle-class tax cuts in history to securing nearly $10 trillion in new investments to create high-paying jobs across our country," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News.
Rogers also said that the economy was entering a "Golden Age of Prosperity," with job growth, higher wages, and regulatory rollbacks.
Labor Day traditionally celebrates unions and organized labor, but Trump took it in a different direction to show that there were other ways to celebrate American workers.
