They’re keeping the press 100 yards away & not allowing them to photograph him on the golf course. Apparently everyone is using a 2005 Motorola Razr to take his picture, as well. It’s ridiculous. Anyway, we’ll all know soon. Can’t keep lying to us forever with the horrible physical state he’s in.

Has he tried drinking bleach? Ivermectin? Asking for a million+ Covid dead.
jbaileywrites (@jbaileywrites.bsky.social) reply parent
I think it’s him, but his face is really swollen. Also, there’s no one behind the eyes. When elderly have serious end of life issues, it changes the way they look. Almost overnight, sometimes.
jbaileywrites (@jbaileywrites.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes. They’re driving to the golf course, but he’s not golfing. My guess is he’s squirreling out the back and has been at Walter Reed a lot this weekend.

I can see something in the pre-enhanced photo, but it looks more like he’s growing a juvenile ball sac on his forehead rather than a pump-knot. Could just be shadows. But the bigger Q: why is the press being kept so far back? Why do these photos look like they were printed on dot matrix?

You can see it in the unenhanced photo, like a pump-knot. There also looks to be some bruising. Could be a shadow. Bigger Q: why is the press being kept so far back & where have their telephoto lenses gone?

It’s a likely just a lazy cover story so he can get treatment at Walter Reed this weekend w/o public scrutiny. Make a show of him heading out to play golf, then post old photos of him playing golf without technically dating it. Notice the caption doesn’t say “today.”

It was him yesterday morning leaving w his grandkids. The press verified it. They were there. But I don’t think he went golfing. No photos or video from the course. I bet he went straight to Walter Reed for treatment of whatever’s making him look like a bloated corpse just pulled out of a river

I’ve seen video from yesterday. It’s way back, though. But the press core said it was him & they saw him get in the car. No photos or video of him actually on the golf course, though. All those online are from previous outings, July 2025 or earlier. My guess is he spent the day at Walter Reed

And I’m a child of the 80s so I doubt l, until now, I’ve ever gone a day in my life without refined sugar. I had terrible withdrawals fr it. Brain fog, etc. I’ve given up caffeine full stop in the past & never had any withdrawals, so WTF? 🤷🏻♀️
jbaileywrites (@jbaileywrites.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you. I guess it was the sugar pepping me up all this time. I only drink one coffee a day in the morning, so I don’t think it’s about tolerance. The only thing I’ve changed is no sugar in it. It’s more than just “not feeling it.” I get powerful drowsy about 30 min after I drink it.

I agree. I’ve always spun my quirks in a positive way. I can hyper-focus, which helps so much. I learn languages quickly (3 & counting), I can write an entire tv pilot in a weekend, I can stop bad habits by switching focus & disassociating from withdrawals. I’m super goal-oriented.

So if any ADHD folks out there are seeing this, please feel free to weigh in. Am I just a creature of habit or is it something more? Bc now that I’ve written it out, I realize I have more hyper fixations, like wearing the same color clothes for yrs, or only dresses and then only pants lol. Normal?
jbaileywrites (@jbaileywrites.bsky.social) reply parent
I’ve also randomly decided to stop meat and/or alcohol. Last time, 5 yrs for meat, 10 yrs for alcohol. I always figured these were just personality quirks or stress responses. ADHD doesn’t run in my family, so I suppose I’ll find out when I get tested.

The 4th way it’s expressed is not as compulsive, but I’ll find an exercise I like and do it every single day, same routine, same amount of time, for years lol. I used to wake up at dawn and run 3 miles in the same park every morning. Then switched to swimming (my true love) & am still doing it

3) Media consumption. This is the weirdest one. I will watch the same television series over & over, listen to the same podcast for years sometimes. My record is every night for 9 years, same bootlegged radio show from the UK that aired in the early ‘00s.
jbaileywrites (@jbaileywrites.bsky.social) reply parent
2) Food. I prefer to eat the same foods for weeks, days, even years on end, then will suddenly stop. When I had a desk job, I ate a tuna sandwich for lunch every day for 3 yrs. One day, I took a bite & it tasted weird. Put it down & didn’t eat another one for a decade
jbaileywrites (@jbaileywrites.bsky.social) reply parent
My hyper fixation is usually expressed in 3 big ways & I’ve known about it for years: 1) My writing, I can work for 10-12+ hrs straight for many days (often prefer to) to get a rough draft done before I crash for a few days
jbaileywrites (@jbaileywrites.bsky.social) reply parent
So I talked to my doctor about this & he said it’s possible that giving up all sugar (6 wks now) is having an effect on how caffeine alone is affecting my brain. It’s possible I may have ADHD (wow!) bc we talked about how my hyper fixation is also making a huge comeback rn. He wants me to get tested

We all know why. Lots of MAGA X accts posting old golf photos passing them off as today, but a Google Lens check quickly reveals they’re from July ‘25 or earlier. It’s like they’re not even trying.

Can any independent journalist confirm that he actually went golfing today? Are there photos or videos? All I’ve seen are photos from previous golf outings being passed off as taking place today. Even media outlets are running old photos of him from his golf course.
jbaileywrites (@jbaileywrites.bsky.social) reply parent
The press who were there confirmed it was him this morning getting into the car, but photos of him actually golfing today are hard to confirm. I saw one earlier, but it looks to be from his time in Scotland. No video of him actually golfing today confirmed by the press. 🤷🏻♀️
