I have no clue what’s going on with the guy, but can I just say I wouldn’t put it past them to encourage fevered speculation that they will eventually demonstrate to be untrue?

I don't envision him taking a vigorous swim, as Mao famously did in the Yangtze (I'm old enough to remember) to prove he was not yet dead, but I think his next public appearance will be heralded with choruses of "Hosanna!"

Wasn't there a pharoah who would hide from his people so he could find out what they thought of him ... In the end he died, of course.

Yes. Some ‘prayers came true’ nonsense or other.

Yep they’ve run out of other distractions so now it’s just “do nothing for a while and see how the fools panic”.

Kevin is not doing any more work @kevinhamel.bsky.social

You know how some actors have to spend hours in make-up to get their look on for certain roles? Apparently for Trump that’s now pushing a week. Prolly has DARPA working on whole new set of prosthetics

Kate Middleton is a blueprint, if that’s what’s going on. Speculation was building, she could easily have set the rumors to rest but didn’t, and after a little while made a video. And the people speculating were seen by everyone else as ghoulish conspiracists.

They’re not that smart and he lacks self control. If he could be out there he would be.

I don’t think they started this and he really does have serious health issues. But they might take an extra few days. I don’t really know! Just throwing it out there.

Oh I know lol but also Kate Middleton is actually like able which made everyone look like ghouls.

I think if he were to convince people he was actually fine (to be clear, I think he really does have very serious health issues and that’s why this all started), we would look like ghouls for focusing on his death (to be clear, we’re not ghouls, we are fans of democracy).

I’m proud to be a ghoul. Because I am a fan of democracy and find myself living under a fascist regime. His death won’t end the fascism, but it could be a start.

I find it difficult not to hate him tbh. Everything about him personally and most definitely politically is worthy of scorn and derision. I find no redeeming quality in him as a person. The only thing I can muster is a hint of pity for what he will see after his last breath.

Maybe. But unlike Kate Middleton, nobody speculating about Trump can be made to feel bad about it. We do not want him to come back, and when he does we will be disappointed, not ashamed of how we acted or what we said in his absence.

Whether or not we should feel bad (I don’t think so!) we could look bad.

Centrist schmucks? I’m not even saying we should try to appease them or worry about that! Just that that’s what they may be thinking.
