Hope springs eternal

Yeah wait what did I miss?

trump dead don't worry about it

Is that just a rumor or is there something concrete?

no proof of life in 2+ days, nothing planned over weekend

Dead as fuck mate

lost it, but a specific white house pool reporter did a social media post and that started a chain reaction

Laura Rozen is not the WH pool reporter, but the 3rd post in this image is what did the critical mass

everyone's getting the thrill of the 36 hours between buying your lottery ticket and the drawing where you imagine what you'll do with 100 million dollars, but for trump

he hasn't been seen in days apparently and is staying at the WH through labor day with no events so the speculation started

well damn this ellipsis got me excited when I searched

has he really not been seen in a days, he must haunt me i feel like he never left

When was that weird roundtable with his cabinet praising him? Tuesday? Wednesday?

tuesday

his schedules also blank for weekend and some cryptic post about im retiring to the west that im not sure if was a joke or not

That was a joke. A Lord of the Rings reference I think.

Was going to say I don't think he's versed in tolkein

bsky.app/profile/yanq...

that's a lord of the rings joke

?

so pulling the schedule here, Trump hasn't been seen in public since the deranged cabinet meeting on Tuesday, and then, on Wednesday, he had lunch with Vance, and then nothing scheduled publicly after that and lids called early. img unrelated

Thursday’s trade delegation from Japan was canceled right as they were about to leave. “Administrative issues”.

"img unrelated" - brilliant

when was that Vance interview?

28th www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I mean that gets added to the evidence pile, no?

I do think its hilarious that trump is quiet for 2 days and everyone immediately starts wondering if he is dead "Why tv man not on tv?"

We need to know if it’s ever gone this long before. I kinda doubt it lol

A monster that, without leaving a physical trace, fills its interlocutors with so much existential dread that they die. When I read that novel, the monster turned out to be a text*, not a flesh-and-blood abomination. *eg a drug recipe in Perutz' "Master of Judgment Day"

SKY NO

oh man, this is trump's most recent shitpost (5hr ago), there's no way he wrote this right?

“Total Disaster” would absolutely be capitalized. Definitely not him.

this was also my first tell, and it made me realize how attuned I am to his weird off-putting style. don't love it

training an LLM to shit out a Trump post would be relatively easy and the output would be close but def uncanny valley stuff

ferb I know what we’re gonna be doing for the next couple of weeks

Too articulate. Not punchy enough.

No exclamation after “‘matter” is a tell.

Absolutely not by him

Way too calm & coherent, IMO

The irony of someone named realdonaldtrump not being real

“Incorrectly said?” I’m going to go with no

Not him

Nope! Too low energy

There’s punctuation; so… no!

Unwise and uncaring politicians? That's not him.

Yeah he didn’t write this. Many people are saying he can’t write anymore.

Undermine? Uncaring? “Literally”?Nah, not him.

I love the tea as much as any other degenerate on here but this is really no better than reading tea leaves at this point IMO

i can’t even read this in his voice which is a dead giveaway it wasn’t written by him. ChatGPT could do a better job

This much more coherent than Trump's usual pile of verbiage. All the sentences are grammatical, no misspellings, few random all-caps interpolations. It doesn't sound like his manic screed-style at all.

All that text and only two !s. Suspicious...

Also the randomly Capitalized words are present, but is it just me or are there even more than usual?

Nope. It's shitty, but coherent.

This one sounds more like Lutnick. Does not necessarily mean Trump was not consulted, but too much policy specific language (which is not a high bar at all)

Reads like miller to me

No way. Reads like a bad imitation.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter!” always had the exclamation point, no?

That was the tell, yes

Unfortunately he appears to have been playing music in the Rose-themed-pavement area today bsky.app/profile/anna...

Imagine him like twomad, dead in a chair while the music blares and the lights flash

This fits with the convalescing from significant surgery idea though

I think that is the way to bet it

I think it is too, but if I wanted to be optimistic it also fits with “let’s put on his favorite things and hope he hears us in there”

possible Swan Lake vibes idk

“White House confirmed it's the president's music.”

My own guess is that he’s not in a state where he wants to (or can?) be seen.

Some of the sentences are too long to be Trump's.

Not enough CAPS

“Trying too hard” imitation if you ask me.

Too many capital letters The person to wrote this was trying too hard.

Definitely feels a bit off for him, but I'm uncertain how much of that is real and how much is cope.

This is too coherent for it to be him

the capitalization makes too much sense

it's not *normal* but there's nothing that makes me go "what the hell, why there"

The general word choice and sentence structure is at least 3 grade levels above true Trump style.

This post was written by someone who speaks English well, trying to sound like someone who’s genuinely dumb as a bag of rocks that has rock-Alzheimers, and not succeeding at it Some stylistic tics don’t cover up the basic coherence and grammaticality here that Trump doesn’t have

It’s not, like, a great work of literature but it has a point (that’s not “Trump good, worship Trump”) and it has a syntax and that’s apparently the bar

Trying to think of the last time Trump put together a single sentence that has the level of (relative) sophistication of “incorrectly said.”

lmao. "Tariffs and Non Tariff Trade Barriers" gives the game away.

Gavin Newsom would have done a better job on this one!

Look at the fear in the Pope's eyes.

He knew a demon when he saw one

Is project25 holding up things to ensure JD will do their work, or to ensure trump doesn't sack HD and announce a new VP before he snuffs it? eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Let’s get Daniel Craig’s detective guy from knives out to investigate. Or the lady from The Residence

Would watch

*stares at JD*

Ooooooooo 🙏🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

we're gonna get The Notification one day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HXX...

also on the playlist

JD Vance on that day:

It happening on a three day weekend would show the universe has a sense of humor at least.

we're having an optimistic moment

I went bowling and all I can say is hold off on the thing until I have a chance to buy some champagne and fireworks

Just Asking Questions™️

So me.
