Donald Trump made his first public appearance in about a week to announce the relocation of the U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado to Alabama.
His absence from public view over the Labor Day weekend sparked widespread online speculation and rumours about his health.
Trump dismissed the health concerns as 'fake news', stating he had been very active over the long weekend and felt well.
Despite his assurances, observers noted a bruised hand during his appearance, a recurring issue that has previously drawn scrutiny.
The White House and Trump's doctor have consistently maintained that he is in 'excellent health', attributing the hand bruise to frequent handshaking and aspirin intake.
