Who are these "people" you refer to?

Facebook freaks?

Twitter twits?

Republican reprobates?

It's likely a hoax, and you've just been suckered in to it.

More like gullibility. If the only "manipulation" experienced is seeing something in print, then there is very little manipulation taking place (if any).

Why don't people learn to check the facts for themselves instead of believing everything they read?

Wait a minute, if Barack Obama died, it would be all over the news. He's alive.

You'd expect the death of the American president to be headline news. What kind of journalist misses out on that kind of scoop?

Why ask the question if you already think you know the answer? lol

Also I disagree, manipulation plays a part in the fact the person who made the article knows vast majority of ordinary every day people are completely stupid and will believe anything therefore they manipulate these people into reading click bait with ridiculous headlines like these so they can be on their merry way into getting likes and revenue from the ads on their site.

There has been assassination threats though, those are interesting.

When I was considerably younger than today, I tried to contact president Reagan by phone. Link by link, I could reach her private secretary. (Old fashioned links, not like those in the Internet.) I asked the secretary, "Could you put me through to the president, please?" She asked me about my mission. When she learned I am from Finland, she politely said this phone call will cost me a fortune. I take it for granted that there was a US president at the time whose name was Reagan.

The same would happen if I tried to reach president Obama.
