He denies information that no serious media reported.

US President Donald Trump swept aside rumors on Tuesday that he suffered from a series of "mini-strokes" last November that would have forced him to hospitalization.

The surprise visit of the head of state in his seventies to Walter Reed's military hospital at the time provoked speculation about his state of health, denied by the White House doctor.

“It never stops!

They are now trying to say that your favorite president was at Walter Reed hospital for suffering from a series of mini-strokes, ”Donald Trump denounced on Twitter, claiming to be the victim of fake news.

“Perhaps they are referring to another candidate, from another party!”, Also launched the president, in allusion to his democratic rival Joe Biden, also in his seventies.

It never ends!

Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes.

Never happened to THIS candidate - FAKE NEWS.

Perhaps they are referring to another candidate from another Party!
