Lol... we can never really know because he's looked and acted like a stroke victim for years.

another side effect is ai generated official tv appearance

Which explains the AI edited appearance.... To cover for the ailment.

hes probably on anti-clotting medication, which can cause bruising and bleeding. clots which makes you prone to strokes.

I'm pretty damned old and just had a cannula in my hand for a couple of days because I had surgery that required me to be knocked out. No hematoma. For him to have gotten one of those, either a nurse fucked up or he's on blood thinners.

And yeah, there's some evidence he's been having mini-strokes on and off for at least a year. Here's hoping they get progressively worse, and he sees nothing in his future but worsening debility and helplessness, surrounded by people who despise him. May he survive long into his term, just to frustrate Vance's ambitions. A long power struggle as his flunkies try to remove him from office while dishing the dirt on his incompetence and dementia will also be wonderfully humiliating and will make Vance seem even more like the backstabbing weasel he already is.

JFC that's not a little bit of a droop. That's almost definitely signs of a stroke. A guy I knew at work looked exactly the same after his stroke. Trump looked relatively normal at the u.s. open a few days ago and you'd think after a stroke he'd at least take a week or two off given his advanced age and "robust" health. Maybe it's bell's palsy or someone smacked him upside the head with a frying pan?

Edit: Also this article seems a little on the nose.

That is not a guy who filmed the Kirk apology video the night before.

look at melania, she must be estatic hes about to pass.

Looking like how my grandpa looked shortly before he died. Granted I've said that before and the bastard is still here but here's to hoping it goes through this time

Oof yeah thats an old man who's unlikely to make enough of a recovery to be doing speeches for a living again. Didn't see if it's full body sagittal droop or just facial. Former says stroke, latter says palsy. Like neither is good for him but palsy is manageable, stroke in a 79 year old is entirely likely to be the beginning of the end.

Give him some credit. At least he's not asleep, like at the pope's funeral.

Damn.

Nah, if he dies too soon Vance has more time to cement his power. He needs to wait like 2 years and 8 months.

Sadly, there is an ever-ending shit-shoot of potential other candidates to follow. They won't have to capture his audience or be as "charismatic" as he is. As things fall apart and degrade. They will just crack down as authoritarians do. On innocent people of every stripe.

Yeah more like breathless anticipation

What's alarming is how hard it is to flush that ever-returning turd.

Without him, the Astronomican will collapse! We must feed him one thousand innocent babes a day to keep him alive on his golden throne.

Fears over my lack of PTO to be able to party that day.

He is already leaking fluids, and solids, on a daily basis. There are multiple confirmed reports.

Not sure what gasket you are referring to

I mean if there was justice in the world I like to imagine a giant demonic hand would burst up through the ground and grab him so tightly his eyes bulge out and drag him screaming down to actual biblical hell but we can't always get what we want unfortunately.

If you are talking about herpes, over half of us have it. You can contract it during birth if your mom has an active infection even. I thought it was gonna be something crazy lol

Seeing a doctor? Sounds like socialism!

She's a stooge and a useful idiot... She doesn't have the ear of anyone important. Hell, i don't think she's on any legislative committees, which tells me nobody important is backing her.

Edit: just looked at the committees she's a part of. Her only appointment of note is being chair of DOGE....i rest my case.

I doubt it, but she's definitely going to try. So will every other MAGA with a reputation, include media types.

MAGA is a cult of personality, and once Trump assumes room temperature, so will MAGA. But they won't want to let it go, so Don Jr, Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Rubio, Patel, Empty G, Boobert, Loomer, Hawley, Johnson, Cotton, DeSatan, etc. will all be stabbing each other in the back.

It will be ferocious and endlessly entertaining.

Nobody will take over. They'll fight amongst themselves, but they were all choosen for loyalty to Trump first and competence a distant second.

I doubt that will happen; no matter how batshit crazy her takes are, she's still a woman and that's a disqualifier.

Think "spring break air horn".

BYR-BYR:BYR-BYR-BYRRRRRR!!

As in "sound the party alarm!"

Ronald McDonald and Diet Coke?

I rather think they will just reanimate him like Weekend at Bernie’s.
