This is a very weird situation in that it's the first time since FDR the press has a visibly ill, probably dying President -- so the first time in the modern media model -- and they seem completely unequipped to report on it. (also "they like him and want him to rule us like a king" factor, yes)
Hopefully they'll be able to report on the actual even soon.
Have you seen the movie Dave? I wonder who's going to play the 🍊💩? Oh, wait, that would be an actual pile of 💩.
Well the press reported on Trump having dementia in his first term, and they reported on Biden's health during his presidency, so I feel a bit lost
Down with “the king”
That parenthetical says it all.
They perceive he’s good for ratings even while being incredibly bad for the country.
This. The first Trump administration was easy street for media. A factory that churns out 30 click-worthy zany stories a day? It's a golden goose fed on Haribo sugar free gummy bears.
👎🤬🤬👿
The Fat Bastard can't die soon enough!
They are 100% complicit. Boycott all mainstream media.
#ReleaseEpsteinTrumpFiles
The press fears, and rightly, that they will be silenced if they report on the topic of the King’s health. It is perfect, remember?
Okay. but what if there were a visibly old, lucid-but-not-as-acute President, who had a competent, non-psychopath VP waiting in the wings? Because I'll bet the media would go absolutely apeshit over that.
How much of this is fear of retribution? I guess it is too much to expect the same feeding frenzy that accompanied Hillary tripping that one time, but you'd think there would be SOMETHING, ANYTHING. Well, looking forward to Swan Lake.
I mean, my Current Sustaining Fantasy is the guy ends up stroked out and utterly unable to serve, and the cabinet and J.D. come to blows over whether to 25/2 him out of office. While Leavitt denies anything is wrong and obviously ghost-written defiant Truth Social posts continue indefinitely.
To a great degree that's what's happening now. Different insane factions are using the power of the Presidency to achieve their One Weird Goal.
I'm curious to see how fast the wheels come off if Trump dies. It's hard to see the same cult of personality coalescing around Vance or Russell Vought, and there's a reason why Stephen Miller has to be kept out of sight. And I can't imagine one of Trump's failsons inheriting the mantle, DPRK-style.
Only time will tell, but I think Vance - horribly disliked across the political spectrum - will have a hard time keeping the coalition together. The MAGA cult will splinter in interesting and varied ways. Republican politicians won't fear J.D. like they fear Trump. Big question: Cabinet shakeup?
Depends who’s holding the kompromat. I don’t think much changes at all, unfortunately.
They just need him alive long enough for fascism to really take root; after that, it doesn’t matter if the people like whomever they put in office or not. He is a conduit, that’s it.
🎯
JD Vance is present more and more. I think he’s auditioning. When/if it’s determined that JD is ready, things could change.
Change as in, get worse? With that, I’ll agree.
This. The Seven Mountains folk and the Race War folk and the plain old Fascists are all rowing roughly in the same direction with Trump as their drooling figurehead. They each think they will emerge victorious.
Miller does the best job of it, but you can tell Vought has been at him lately tho the de minimis stuff is clearly gonna be An Issue within weeks.
That’s all of it. They are cowards. See how they behaved with Biden
Let’s face it. When the time comes, he could be dead for months before anyone outside of their circle knows. He’ll keep signing things even in death. They’ll see to it.
I don't know about that. They'll certainly try, but in this day of 24 hr visibility of everything, and with such a publicly visible president, I think it will be quite hard to pull off. Regardless of the official line I reckon it will be pretty obvious to everyone except the MAGA true believers.
Oh, for sure. We will immediately wonder where he is but they’ve never been truthful.
Our medical technology is at this point really HELLISHLY impressive, we can probably keep him visibly 'fine' more or less indefinitely, even as he gets more and more erratic and needing more rest breaks. We don't usually do it because ethics, long term health, cognitive concerns...however.
I'm hoping, for the sake of the country, for a crisis instead of a Brezhnev-style long decline. Stroke, burst aorta, brain aneurysm. Not out of spite. To save us from an impulsive nuclear strike or "kill the protesters" moment.
Glad it's not just me
Yeah, I keep waiting to hear he's done a Kent State.
Weekend at Bernie Vibes.
Trumps been pretty much confined to signing executive orders and golf.
Well, he has no one in his family or inner circle that actually cares about him or would step in to prevent the "weekend at Bernie's" elder abuse.
When the damn fool drops dead (golf course? in the WH??), we are going to see a blitz of conspiracies from every ridiculous Trump follower. Literally “the likes of which have never been seen before”.🤨
I remember the crazy conspiracy theories when that conservative Supreme Court Justice died on a private rich person’s hunting ranch in Texas. Trump will be a million times worse.
I mean, I'm not above celebrating his dying in real time. And the way I celebrate most things is by turning them into a gerund.
Oh, they are equipped. Just complicit.
If it was Biden, Jake Tapper would have wrote a book by now
They would report on it just fine if it was a democrat and not the person their oligarchs support.
It's not that simple. If it were a Democrat in that situation, they would act completely different. Look how they treated Biden. This is more than just they don't know how to handle a dying President.
ORALÈ RESISTERS WHAT TIME IS IT? ITS BEAR EATS TACO TIME😛 #BEAREATTACO #5050CA #YESPROP50 #USDemocracy #Gavin #NoTacos4Trump
Yet they took every opportunity to do it to Biden, while not mentioning Trump's word salads.
the Goldwater rule is really more of a suggestion, don’t you think?
Idk let’s all go ask Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson or Olivia Nuzzi. Oh sorry does she still have a job after having FaceTime sex with RFK Jr while she was writing articles trashing Biden?
The fucker is good for ratings in their f’d up opinion
Biden brain wa pudding for years and they buried it. The media will happily pretend things are okay so long as they have access
They will keep their figurehead alive until every position in government is held by hand-picked ultra conservatives who will then fully implement Project 2025 takeover of our United States. If we wait til he’s dead it’ll be too late for democracy as we know it.
They had no problem reporting on it when it was Biden.
They’re equipped! Biden is the model, even though his health issues pale in comparison. They can do it, they just choose not to. And when Trump’s health issues are disclosed/undeniable, media will cite FDR when treating them with discretion instead of the 24/7 scandal they would with a Dem president
Pretty sure Secret Service had to stop Jake Tapper from shoving a camera up Biden’s ass when the prostate cancer diagnosis came out
It’s weird that they don’t report on anything that is real.
You understand that the media around the convicted felon aren’t actual journalists but instead are maga sycophants with a podcast, newsletter, or work for fox or one of the other propaganda channels. None of them is smart enough or brave enough to ask a real question about his health.
Media ownership is heavily in favor of MAGA. Important stories are not being covered- ie: our military is now massing off the Venezuelan coast. Why? Too many reporters seem to be prioritizing their paychecks over reporting the truth.
It really does blow my mind every time I am reminded of this!!
As I've repeatedly said, Trump is an elderly, overweight man with a sedentary lifestyle, likely poor diet, and a probable history of substance abuse. Regardless of the wonders of modern, no expense spared, healthcare, he will probably cease to be a problem sooner rather than later.
I hope he suffers. Then is impeached. The Diddler in Chief deserves the worst ending.
We have a modern media?! Whoever they are, yes, they are unequipped to deal with actual news. They fail the basics : answering who what where when why & how.
It wouldn’t even seem outlandish if the same press didn’t spend half of last year and the beginning of this year on so many stories that Biden was minutes from death.
Yes! They had pretty much diagnosed him with Parkinson’s after a specialist visited the White House for a completely unrelated matter.
Considering how biased they were in regard to Biden, constantly criticizing him for any stumble, they’ve completely sanitized Trumps disintegrating health both mental and physical.
Warren G. Harding died quickly after just a summer of being sick, Reagan was sick with Alzheimer's but physically presentable and didn't die for close to 20 years after leaving office, and of course, both FDR and Kennedy benefitted from active media cover-ups.
What was the Kennedy thing?
Basically, he was sick from 13 on. Treatments for the adrenal problems caused infections. Surgery to fix osteoporosis in his back caused other back problems. And one of his docs was a Hollywood quack who put him on amphetamines and painkillers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F....
Thanks for the reminder! Also brings to mind the quack doc who treated Garfield’s gunshot wound with a high saturated fat diet and shunned new fangled sterilization, ultimately killing him.
He had Addison’s, probably from steroid treatment as a kid. The steroids ruined his lower back. Addison’s is a tough thing and it’s amazing to me that he didn’t have more public crashes (he had a few but nothing too major).
Never knew this! Thanks
Yeah, given the state of medicine at the time, it's impressive he was as functional as he was and his doctors were making smart, logical decisions. But also almost every part of his body was broken because of a "fix" to something else that didn't even work. And he was on speed.
Nancy ran the country while Ronnie read the script just like he was in the movies.
Yes, I'm researching Presidential deaths for a Thing. Anyway, it all contributes to that unnerving feeling of national gaslighting we're all experiencing.
And the fact that while his people and the press are pretending he's not dying, he is, and HE knows it, *and it terrifies him and is affecting his judgement* is probably a Thing we will all take for granted 20 years from now.
I’ve never thought he wanted the world to survive him [something something Ozymandias trackless wastes]
Ah! I just put this together with his stealing and accepting gifts of gold, and hastening to adorn the Oval Office like an glittering mausoleum! Quick, someone send him a golden mask of his own face. No reason!
Doesn't he intentionally wear one of those all the time?
😂
I want him to have a massive stroke or coronary or something that incapacitates but doesn’t kill him, and for him to live out the rest of his days furious and unable to do anything about it
"Ding ding ding!"* *(same)
And then eventually someone blows him up while he’s dinging at Elon Musk
Trump furiously ringing the bell while JD says we need to give Palantir another $10B dollars.
Trump's combination of psychopathy and malignant narcissism is so pronounced I think he believes deep down that the world will end with his death, or may just as well
Well Death needs to hurry TF up, we ain't got time for all this fuckery.
Anything we can do to speed up the process?
Thoughts and prayers?
I recommend Psalm 109
(seriously, though, very apt...)
I don't listen to praise radio.
Voodoo doll
If Putin convinced Trump that he, Putin, could arrange for Trump to live forever in heaven and not be punished for his sins, Trump would fire the nukes on London, Paris and Berlin before lunch.
And it wouldn’t be hard at all, even if all of his children were in London on that day. He would hit it twice if Melania was there, he hates her so much.
I think you're right here- but I also think that the saving grace is that I do NOT think Putin can convince trump of this. I feel like he retains a mental image of Russia that is very cold war failing nation and not modern enough and similar, and is unlikely to be dispelled.
It occurs to me this might be why RFK Jr ended up in Trump's circle, especially if this has been going on a little longer than we know and traditional medicine has only given Trump answers he doesn't like.
& now the COVID vaccine is being taken from us.
"...traditional medicine has only given Trump answers he doesn't like" - I bet we'll see something like the late Stalin-era "Doctors' Plot" before this mess is over. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctors...
He had much closer brushes with the reaper from covid in 2020 than were made public. Yes, plural.
I'm not a spiritual man, but I will damn well crack a beer as soon as I hear the news.
🤔 Multiple, you think? : (
yeah.
That is a genuinely interesting theory. Trump appoints people like a casting director, we know that. RFK's permatan and drug-inflated musculature probably look like health to a sick old man.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s talked Trump into taking whatever the latest trending snake oil is
Like chelation therapy, for example
A shame it wasn't colloidal silver. The contrast between blue skin and Trump's thick layer of bronzer would look hilarious.
Caveat that I'm not legally allowed to diagnose and if I were I have never been in the same room with the man (thank God). HOWEVER, he was showing signs of early dementia during his first term. A lot of people whose relatives have been there spotted it. And time has marched on.
We REALLY need an age restriction on running for President. 65 max.
We can be certain that trump's health was discussed with putin during their private meeting in the Beast in Alaska, and also that putin knew / knows about trump's rapidly deteriorating health, and that he adjusted russia's carrot AND stick control of trump because of this.
"What are a few million lives compared to the glory of becoming a living god? And when I become a god, I will forgive you your rudeness Mollari, and then my capacities will be infinite. For now I will simply try to forget it."
Perfect reference 👌
Love the reference!
The default alt text sucks.
yeah I was insufficiently caffeinated to edit it properly
I've realized that I can't rely on any gifs having any background knowledge of the subject. I don't really want a gif that is only skin deep in meaning.
And you just know his vision of heaven involves a lot of gold tackiness. He'd kill us all for gilt.
I don’t doubt that he would use nukes on our country and blame it on another country. He is the type of narcissist that would take millions of people out with him when he finally stops breathing.
He'd kill millions without blinking if some wizard or priest convinced him it would make him immortal.
"POOF! There, done." "So now I'm immortal?" "Ohhhhh ... immorTal. And here I thought this was the easiest fifty bucks I ever made."
Trump: "What sins?"
The media had no problem covering Biden's declining health. Weird.
Funny how being utterly dependant upon oligarchs willing to run them at a loss changes what gets covered, eh? Insert Rant #3 about consolidation of the online advertising industry killing the revenue models for everything from newspapers to linear OTA television.
This Weekend at Bernie’s sequel sucks.
I wish him a stroke that renders him unable to speak, and *especially* pointy kidney stones, along with bedridden palliative care for the rest of his days.
People can and do live a long time with CHF and PAD etc. dont get too excited yet. It is curious why he hasnt been golfing recently 🤔
Kennedy was ill? Only know of the scarlet fever. any good general public sources in this?
I had the same question. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
But official medical records may omit potentially embarrassing details like Kennedy’s rumored STI’s (also rumored to have passed to his wife) or use of an unofficial doctor who administered amphetamine injections.
Woodrow Wilson was super sick & Edith was basically the shadow president for a long time & that was covered up, too.
Edith was family on my mom’s maternal side 😁 so I’m family to the ACTUAL first woman President 🥰
God I forgot it took him that long.
easy mistake, you were probably thinking of when his soul died
He was after all a very active and healthy man even into his later years, and his accursed long post-Presidential life is a testimony to the power of regular exercise.
And excellent free health care at the tip top
True, also.
Wait, did they know how Kennedy was going to die ahead of time?
I'm just nitpicking here but I thought it was closer to 15 years (regarding Reagan, that is).
eh.
Re JFK: What are the symptoms of an impending brain bullet? (I had no idea he was ill. I took an elective in HS that spent a little time on the assassination, and I don't remember that coming up at all.)
Addison's Disease. www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...
I see now the records were released in 2002, a 'few' years after I graduated. 😉
it was not exactly common knowledge but not a secret either well before that.
Kennedy's healthcare was WILD when I first found out about it. Just a whole chain of bad decisions fixing bad decisions and also speed.
AND ALSO SPEED.
I guess he felt the need.
one wishes Trump had followed in the footsteps of William Henry Harrison, but alas
They make lots of money off Trump.
That’s the only reason for their chronic fealty.
Not unequipped. Unwilling. They just *invented* a visibly ill, probably dying President a year ago and feasted on it when they felt like it. It's 100% the "rule us like a king" factor.
But Joe Biden! Jake Tapper! Emails Trump is a fucking child Rapist
They're fully equipped to report on it as they did with Biden. They're just right-wing owned and are targeted on who they'll actually attack.
They sure practiced up on Biden. You'd think they have it down pat now.
I think it is fear crippling the press.
The press are only interested in the revenue. They like him because he is filling news channels 24/7. Long term means nothing to them. The only thing they would like more than him would be the end of the world. It's likely he is going to deliver that on his death. Like a pharoah we die with him.
Not really, Biden was clearly mentally out of it. But that the press harped on that but is absolutely ignoring Trump both mentally AND physically is stunning.
Give me a mentally out of it president any day if he can give us the best economy in the whole world, good relationships with our allies, and little chaos.
Looking ill after a private meeting with Putin, shouldn’t drink the tea. Polonium Be Best…
And, they let him say again that other countries are paying the tariffs - why are they so fkg scared to correct the liar on that? Then, just now, he's taken credit for tickets sold at the Olympics in South Korea, and his loser sycophants sit there-a bunch of idiots just smiling from ear to ear. WTF.
With FDR, they seem to have done a very good job of it. The head of the OSS R&D was told that he was not expected to survive his 4th term, but that's literally the only place I've seen that (not read any biographies, just general history). Stanley Lovell, Of Spies And Strategems, good book.
Donald Trump is not dying, or anything remotely close to being seriously ill. I honestly want to believe you. But I’ve been burned by nearly ten years of false hopes to be convinced the president has health problems. Anyone saying he’s near death’s door is living in a fantasy.
His body speaks the truth. He has dementia and is seriously ill physically as well.
It’s all an act. He is in better physical health than most of us You only think he has dementia because he fakes it in order to lure his enemies out into the open and eliminate them. He is so exponentially powerful, it is beyond human comprehension. Today he will get even stronger.
The Russians have a saying: “Today was average. Worse than yesterday, better than tomorrow” We live in a reality where every day resistance gets a little weaker, another freedom is taken away, another city is occupied. Meanwhile, he gains another supporter. His inner circle tightens the noose.
And this is irreversible too. The amount of damage he inflicts on society on a daily basis will take a decade to fully undo. One by one, his enemies fall like dominoes. The ones who stand up to Trump always fail us in the end. Sooner or later, they are going to arrest you.
One year from now, over 90% of the country is going to living in internment camps. They’re going to use the military to level every major city, and send the survivors as slave labor to work in the countryside. They will stoop to even killing children.
I’ve read somewhere that because Trump regained power, we are permanently locked into 30-50 years of fascist rule. All the futile protesting won’t reduce this horrible sentence by even a single day. We have lost everything, and there is no point in going on if our freedom is lost forever.
So just let him destroy everything, it’ll make him feel better with the little time he has left.. ..everyone can deal with the aftermath when he’s gone…
The media being "completely unequipped to report on it" is the media mantra of the last ten years. I don't think it is incompetence anymore I think corporate media has malice against the American people. Making intentional choices to not inform them in a way that would help them instead of the rich
Funny....they had no problem calling out every single burp & hiccup of President Biden...... And, it is karma that t-Rump's response to Biden having cancer is now coming back to bite him in the butt with his own health issues...which they MUST HAVE HIDDEN during the election....
More popular with the press than the country at large for sure.
Then we should refer to the fat fck in future as “The Probably Dying President”. Sounds so hopeful.
(Cause it's not random speculation-attacks on Dems?)
Y all don't visit the elderly very much, do you??
Why do they like him?
"This is a very weird situation in that it's the first time since FDR the press has a visibly ill, probably dying President " please don't tease me 🤣
I suspect #trump might have been told he might not have much time left and this is why he doesn't seem to be caring about #Constitution etc.
The press has shown that they will gladly cover up King Turd’s illness
The 'modern media model' seems incapable of reporting on any facts or truth at all these days. But yes, especially facts concerning the Pedofuhrer.
Wait until he starts leveling D.C. for the Pyramid! #TrumpMemorialTomb #Trumpocalypse
LBJ, with his history of heart attacks, always had his health scrutinized carefully. (The interregnum between 11/23/1963 and 1/20/1965's inauguration of VP Humphrey gave us the 25th amendment.) That said, though, this is different. LBJ wasn't in steady decline like Trump obviously is.
but since its not the first time we have had an ill, dying justice system (we have never had anything else, really) the latest trump situation is just a continuation of a system that we have tolerated since j edgar hoover made private porn tapes while prancing around in a cocktail dress
Physician here: He has fragile veins like every other person his age. That doesn’t mean he’s dying. He’s not transparent about anything including his health. What do you want the media to do? Would you like them to generate a lot of useless speculation? Have officials say he’s fine? Tabloid fodder.
His mental incapacity is very troubling. It gives Stephen Miller more influence.
It’s odd to me too. He has congenital heart disease, his heart isn’t strong enough to pump blood out of his legs. After 50 years of snorting drugs and eating fat and sodium laden fast food, I doubt he makes it to the midterms.
Correction; congestive heart disease
And regardless of whatever fancy treatments he had access to as President, he also caught COVID during his first term. So factor that into the calculation as well.
He has other health problems that will shorten his life expectancy even more. He has admitted to having high blood pressure, and he also has frontotemporal dementia. I think it’s telling that he has started talking about Heaven. Probably a physician has told him that he will die soon
The Press (the supposed Fourth Estate) appears, collectively (with some exceptions) appears incapable and or unwilling to report anything resembling the truth! Remember the adage: ‘there is my truth, there is your truth and there is the Actual Truth!
I find it bizarre and of concern, that in this age of video based 24hr media, that the Press from different ‘News’ channels, feel able to ‘report’ on events so at odds with the actual evidence of one’s ears and eyes! Clearly, too much commercial spin and not enough actual reporting!
There's of group of historical diagnostic nerds who have fun with things like *Samuel Johnson had tourette's*. We generally agree that it looks like Lincoln had Marfan's, and probably would not have lived much longer.
Weird considering the press has been training to cover this for all of 2024.
You don't have to go that far back, or that high up. Diane Feinstein generally got fawning media coverage, despite her obvious confusion and short-term memory problems, right up to the week that she died in office
But she was much older
They seemed capable when it was a Dem…
The media is FULLY equipped to report on his failing health. They simply choose not to out of fear.
I keep wondering what will be the thing that is so obviously wrong that they HAVE to report it as such, but then I remember the guy just zoned out on stage and swayed to music for 30 minutes, staring into space, and the coverage was all "Wow, that was weird! Anyway..."
But Joe Biden forgot someone’s name and jeebus the media will do that one to death (and I’m not negating Biden’s decline either)
Clooney lied about that. But the media blew it up. I will forgive none of them.
Hell, Clinton may have lost the election solely on the fact that she tripped on some stairs during a campaign event and everyone spent a good solid week speculating she was too old and feeble to govern
I know a too-tall former FBI Director who wants his credit back.
Point of Information: in 2016 Hillary Rodham Clinton received about 3 million ***more*** votes than simpleton cadet kraznov.
The pneumonia thing on 9/11 was the constant talk for the final two months of the election. The press never shut up about it.
She had a cold and rightwing media had her dying of pneumonia.
Biden caught covid at least twice, maybe thrice. It does a number on old brains in the short term.
When he starts defecating in his pants … in public ?
Apparently it was the behaviour of a real leader, he was just keeping everyone calm - at least according to some of the dipshits back on twitter.
We might be coming to The Weekend At Donnie's presidency where he will be trotted out propped up by his lackeys to give the appearance he is still alive. As bad as he looks who would know? And he already smells like he is dead.
The smell thing is a good point! Maybe he already is?
It shows how empty the news anchors are that report this misinformation. If they were humans with backbone, instead of jellyfish that just want their money, this administration would have been dead on arrival; instead, morons go "yeah yeah whatever, just give me my check." #Pathetic
I wish he’d hurry up.
I thought Reagan had the onset of dementia in his second term.
No surprise as the press is being threatened, and because they do their work for profit and not integrity, they comply in advance. "...liberty depends on the freedom of the press..."
Melanie is no Eleanor.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I agree. Trump looks horrible. He is mentally and physically sick. That is why he is so desperate. He will not finish out his term.
I swear they're going to start deepfaking him younger and healthier and make him rule for the next 150 years. All these "interviews" and "rallies" and "public appearances" in front of thousands... But you never meet anyone who's really seen him in person for some reason...
I notice no-body really wants to talk about the possibility that Trump is moribund. Either they don't want to give to much into hope or are too afraid to speculate or it is just too ...gross.
It was very weird and out of character when Trump brought up getting into heaven out of nowhere.
Oh no, they are ABSOLUTELY equipped because we heard about Biden ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It's not a matter of being ill equipped. It's a matter of willfully choosing not to discuss this.
Though they were pretty ready to report on Biden’s health even when he was much less diminished.
Media: JoE biDEn iS StiLL sLeEpY!!!1!
I checked the obituaries he is still a fascist. VOTE
Oh that the "visibly ill, probably dying" part could be true! It would leave us with Vance, but I don't think he can hold the MAGA base.
they seemed quite equipped to report on Biden's health, so I'll take Door #2, John.
Apparently a number of experts have said that he's got like 6 months.
You are correct - but don't forget Eisenhower. Nevertheless, the sheer obviousness of trump's impending death appears to be unrecognisable to far too many people. All I can think is that the majority of USians have never seen an elderly person in such bad health that their death is inevitable.
Then they wonder why there are so many conspiracy nuts about
I don’t think the media likes him !! It’s just easier to bend !!
If he is allowed to lie in state at the Capitol, I'm going to be in DC to spit on his casket.
If he is laid to rest in a place the public can access, I hope to toddle up to his grave with my rollator and spit on it.
Reagan was not reported on.
Yes, but a) I think the Reagan Administration did a better job of hiding it because b) they COULD hide it. We didn’t live in the 24 hour performative Presidency like we did now.
People were making jokes about Nancy being "co-president" in Reagan's first term, and it wasn't because they thought she was sharp.
I believe the magat politicians are hoping he holds on long enough to establish an entrenched dictatorship that will be almost impossible to reverse.
We don't know exactly what Donald J.Trump's Diagnosis is..
MEDICAL QUESTIONS Is there a treatment for chronic venous insufficiency that requires repeated IVs? Why is it in his hand? He is an actor. Even I he weren't the president, he wouldn't want that bruise to show. Is he having several emergencies? What other repeated IVs are consistent with his hx?
i wonder that too, also why in RIGHT, more visible hand rather than left
Not a medical professional here, though I do work with them in a medical setting... Best guess I've got is that the veins in his left hand are already too badly wrecked from repeated use and they're making do with what's left of him. But...just a mostly uneducated guess.
He’s good for ratings
The free press is dead,all owned by self serving billionaires
I actually don’t think they like him. Few do.
“Whoopee we’re all going to die” comes to mind as today’s ear worm.
Doctor: tRump has 6 to 8 Months TO LIVE?! Ankle swelling and bruised hands from chronic venous insufficiency *caused by* congestive heart failure CHF: the heart can’t pump blood well enough to meet your body’s needs, so it collects in your lungs, legs and feet www.youtube.com/watch?v=arII...
Old monsters like Trump don't die that easily. I would not base any hope on his early demise.
The tRump Admin is like a Hydra where tRump is just one of the heads The Hydra in Greek mythology is a monstrous serpent with multiple heads, known for its ability to regenerate heads when they are severed
pretty please
The worthless corporate fascist media can make up scandals but ignore real scandals. They got us to this point, the death of democracy.
One can not scroll for two minutes with out seeing someone with understanding of right and wrong (Left) reposting a NY Times or WaPo article. They helped enable the chaos and profit on the news that writes itself. Put these publications out of fucking business!
They babied Reagan's deterioration, too. But Trump arrived pre-deteriorated so who knows. I don't think the press wants him to rule us like a king. I think they're just too in love with their 'best practices of objectivity' thing. Their objective reporting is supposed to motivate us to action. Oops.
Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump! Fuck Trump!
I'm genuinely curious to see what they'll do if he dies in office. Do they go for a "family and friends only" style funeral, or do they go full state funeral and risk a repeat of his birthday?
I think they will do a Weekend with Bernie thing for as long as possible. Then they will have him temporarily incapacitated and put JD in power. When people are getting used to that, they will announce his demise and perform a fake funeral, while having buried him in a secret place long ago.
Can we fast forward to the bit where he gets towed behind a speedboat?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
A guy who hogs the spotlight like Trump will be quickly missed
Yeah, maybe. Only by MAGA. I’m pretty sure the rest of us will catch on quickly. I can’t wait to see!! 🍷🙏🙏
Your press is complicit. Which part of that are you struggling with?
He can’t die soon enough..
I say, when he croaks, let’s treat him like the king he wants to be, and like King Tut, and bury the fat fuck with ALL his sycophantic government lackeys.
We should be so lucky( he croaks)
Are you sure this "he's dying" isn't just wishful thinking? He's not that old. How old were his parents when they died?
Dad made it to 93, but probably didn't have the dissipated lifestyle of his offspring.
King coverage = Clicks.
Trump is still covered the back of his right hand.
I know that there are just as evil people like Vance & Miller ready to try & capture MAGA, but I just want him gone, as I haven't had a really big celebratory drinking session for ages!
I wish the "probably dying " didn't trip my "this is probably wish casting " response.
They also won’t comment on his dementia, which is weird since they were all over Joe Biden’s obvious aging.
I’m sure we’ll get another story on CNN, reminding us of the scandalous fact that Joe Biden was old.
The MSM can do what they want. Until they start asking the questions we all want to hear, they've got nothing to say that I want to hear.
If you don’t talk about it, it’s not happening… Just like not counting Covid cases mean the Covid cases aren’t happening
I feel as though that much of the media has some type of agreement with him and his team. The fact that his health, and the state of his marriage, is not a bigger story. Like, the state of the Obama’s marriage was a huge story, and he’s not in office.
Even if they hate Trump, he sells newspapers
His death, given the likelihood of it being while he’s in office, will probably cause quite an upheaval. For one Vance is a different monster with less charisma and equally incompetent. But also the national mourning vs celebrating is likely to widen the rift among people.
The infighting is going to be interesting and probably brutal. Vance has zero personality and wont be able to hang onto the MAGA idiots. Dems need to prep. Get this shit turned around.
Agreed. It’s gonna be chaos and a good time for the left to exploit their infighting. Not sure I’d rely on the dems to be ready for that moment though. They’ll switch into “we go high” moral superiority rhetoric and fumble the ball as per usual. This might be a moment for more visionary leadership.
Oh Lord, I am so over “going high”. That decade has passed and some of the younger dems have some good thoughts moving forward. Let them speak.
Its also rather hypocritical since they made a big deal about Joe Biden’s health and weaponized his stutter and advanced age My guess is that everything they accused Biden of, they’re doing with Trump
Without a doubt!
Wish he would hurry up and die…
Weekend at Donnie’s: Coming this Fall.
All those remaining media people care about is letting him fly with the inane, insane, incomprehensible remarks because it’s good for their networks/ratings. America loves crazy stuff.
I JUST CAN'T WITH THE USELESSNESS OF MSM. THEY SHOW CLIPS OF TRUMP LYING HIS ASS OFF THEN LEAVE IT TO THE REPORTER TO MAYBE CHALLENGE THE LIE. NO COUNTER-CLIP. WHICH DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO "STICK" IN PEOPLE'S HEADS? EVEN IN LIVE BACK AND FORTH NO REPORTER HAS THE BALLS TO JUST SAY THIS IS BULLSHIT

As a disabled person who is in pain 24/7, and will die early, I cannot emphasize how much I hope DJT is in pain every moment of every day until he dies an excruciating death without a single person who gives a Flying Fuck about him at his bedside.
I'm going to guess he is in pain just wearing shoes. Some of his mental impairment can come from pain meds
There are approximately 300 million more of us that agree with what you just said, 100%. Thank you.
At least one billion people who follow US news. Maybe more like three.
I believe a good hunk of Earth’s pie is fortunate to remain ignorant of conOpedo’s crimes. Let’s for fun say 4/10 I also believe another sizable slice has good to excellent familiarity thereof. Let’s say another 4/10 As to remaining 0.000001 plus statistical error 1.999998/10… They know & want
If there was a way to transfer the chronic pain you and everyone else feels onto Him, I'd do that in a heartbeat.
Amen
Oh, but imagine the pomp and circumstance and shedding of tears for this “great man” that MAGA will orchestrate. Backwards boots on the riderless horse for their fallen leader and everyfuckingthing. Also, I’m sorry for your chronic pain - keep up the good fight.
They were quite able to report extensively on the subject when a Dem was in office. In fact, they were so good at blanket coverage of a president’s health that they helped drive him off the ticket with only 100 days before election. Make no mistake: they only have trouble covering TRUMP’s decline.
