Rating: False About this rating On Nov. 1, 2022, the hashtag \"#TrumpIsDead\" began to trend on Twitter. The hashtag appeared under the \"What\'s happening\" sidebar in the late afternoon for readers in the United States. However, this rumor was false. Former U.S. President Donald Trump is not dead. We found no news reports or other announcements online that would confirm this news.

We also found a fake CNN headline that claimed, \"Donald Trump dead at 76.\" However, this was not a real news article.

We previously reported in 2016 that Trump was the subject of another death hoax that falsely claimed he had experienced a \"violent heart attack.\" ### By Jordan Liles Jordan Liles is a Senior Reporter who has been with Snopes since 2016. ## Article Tags Twitter President Donald Trump Recommendations Advertisement: ![\\"Snopes.com\\"](\\"/design/images/logo-main.png\\") Company About Us FAQs Contact Us Submit a Topic Navigate Home Search Archive Newsletters Random Sections Latest Top Fact Checks News Account Join Login Game FactBot Like Us on Facebook Follow Us on Twitter © 1995 - 2024 by Snopes Media Group Inc.
