Internet users react after the White House and the Pentagon Pizza Index spikes, amid rumors of Trump's death

On Saturday evening, the Domino’s outlets near the official residence of POTUS indicated an increase in traffic, amid the conspiracy theories around Trump’s death.

After @PenPizzaReport reported the same, multiple users shared their reasoning behind the surge. 

“College football and holiday weekend,” @BarrettDus77449 commented. 

“I was concerned, then realized it's a holiday weekend,” @wmweeza said. 

“Fingers crossed,” @ExscapeVelozity tweeted. 

“Something is definitely up this week. Trump not going anywhere,” @MerruX wrote. 

That means…..they’re selling more Pizzas!

Previously, many reacted to the spike in the Pentagon Pizza Index, as revealed by @PenPizzaReport. The account also reported that only Domino’s saw the surge, while other outlets had below-average traffic. 

A user (@FisherKingRon) pointed out: 

“That means…..they’re selling more Pizzas!” 

Another user (@MuskBuck) shared: 

“Hmm… Well this is also the first real Saturday of college football.” 

Someone (@n4hpg) mentioned another conspiracy theory: 

“Are we 'liberating' Venezuela?🇻🇪” 

While the Pentagon Pizza Index has seen a consistent spike on a regular basis, per @PenPizzaReport, it garnered the attention of many X users recently after Trump’s death hoax went viral.

Many reasoned that a similar spike was seen during Israel’s conflict with Iran in June, with outlets like The Guardian also reporting the same. 

However, despite the speculation, DJT debunked the death rumors on Saturday morning, when he was seen with his grandkids – Kai and Spencer Trump.

The POTUS and his grandchildren boarded a motorcade on the White House South Lawn, en route to the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia. 

Photojournalist Nathan Howard also shared a picture of the president that reaffirmed that he is well and alive.

Furthermore, Trump also continued posting on TruthSocial, but didn’t address the viral death rumors.
