There’s currently rumors, he had bruises on his hands, hasn’t been seen in public in the last few days and his schedule for the next few days has been cleared. It’s rumored that he even cancelled his golf session.
JD Vance said that trump is healthy but he’d be ready to take over if anything would happen.
Also the pentagon pizza place is busy.
I looked outside and I do not see people dancing in the streets.
So, no.
That said, there are a couple dozen fascists who are half his age ready to take up the mantle when he does. His passing will not be the end of fascism in the US. It may even spike it.
We’re not that lucky. But hope springs eternal.
eh. jd vance is next in line and hes also a fascist.
if we keep relying on natural death we are gonna wait until all these awful ghoul fascists are 120 years old.
kissinger was old as fuck and probably had all the best amenities for when he died.
He’s also a limp puppet. He’ll do whatever he’s told to do by the GOP. Fortunately he has the charisma of a teenager’s crusty socks. If the Orange Jackass were to die (supposedly he’s been seen since the rumors/speculation started) the institute would carry on, but the cult would quickly start to eat itself alive as factions formed but lack the charisma to maintain the MAGA base cohesion.
Cults of personality rarely survive the death of the charismatic leader. Analysis of past cults have shown that a very specific kind of charismatic reformer/reorganizer needs to immediately step up and carry on from where the original leader left off. I don’t think any of the MAGA leadership has what it takes to pull that off. They’re all too self-serving and lack any real charisma. I think they’ll dissolve into infighting until a new equilibrium of some kind is reached, and that’s something I can’t even begin to predict.
jd vance is next in line and hes also a fascist.
Guillotines spring eternal?
When Trump isn’t seen in public for days I don’t bother wondering why, it’s just a welcome break from him getting attention.
It’s a nice break from all the BS headlines along the lines of “Trump says, Trump demands, Trump claims, Trump threatens…” et Al from news outlets who learned nothing in 2016.
You know how young kids get quiet when they’re up to no good?
It’s the reverse and he’s off fucking some kids.
That was exactly my thought
he did not.
he’s secretly in China with his pals for the big party!

When he does finally croak, I’m betting the administration hides the fact as long as possible while they devolve into a backstabbing, power grabbing, Bulgarian clusterfuck. The implosion is going to be Biblically epic.
Wait, isn’t the line of succession in the US straightforward? Or how do you mean a power grab?
Bulgarian clusterfuck
Well that’s a first for such an idiom. Is this in actual use somewhere, and what do you mean by it?
We used that in the 80s all the time. :)
:a complex and utterly disordered and mismanaged situation
I mean, it’s a holiday weekend. Nothing would be more fitting than a president who hates the working class, dying on labor day weekend.
The irony is yuge.
Last time I saw a head of state with bruises like that on their hands…
I know a nurse who saw this and said to me (before Elizabeth II died) “That’s somebody who’s been quite sick and had bloods done.”
Maybe I am out of the loop but why is a hematoma from a person who probably receives regular infusions and blood draws a big deal?
its usually not, unless you are going to great distances to hide it.
It probably has something to do with Queen Elizabeth II who was photographed with significant bruising on her hand just two days before her death.
And a lot of people end up with a hematoma like that because something screwed up during their annual blood draw. Most of them are not dead two days later.
It means someone was poking around his blood vessels. Could be for serious reasons or routine.
From our mouths to god’s ears.
Because the admin isn’t being transparent and trying unsuccessfully to hide it.
Wishful thinking. Similar to ‘thoughts and prayers.’
Yeah, I had a mildly botched routine annual blood draw and it left a pretty significant hematoma for a while.
Yes it means he has probably had blood draw or IV through the hand for something, but impossible to say if there anything significant to it just because it left behind a hematoma.
In all reality at his age it’s probably just unavoidable due to scar tissue, shitty veins, and poor clotting but I know if I was the phlebotomist I would aim to go straight through the vein every time
Why wouldnt they want to clear that up if it was only that?
Nice.
Usually its not so obvious if his tweets are real or not. Happy to see he’s finally come out of the closet.
Don’t drop it, dude!
We should party like never before. If he’s gone then the party is righteous. If he’s here he will see his legacy. It’s a win-win.
No. Evil has long lifespans for some fucked up reason.
Because it’s up to good people to stop evil, yet religion has brainwashed everyone in to thinking punishment comes in the “next” life.
How convenient for evil!
Goddamn this is so fucking true. Ugh.
Yup.
Donald may be sick but he probably has two decades left at least.
Think: No
Hope: Yes
I really fucking hope he did but evil bastards somehow always live longer than they should
I think they’d tell us if he were dead but maybe he is ill
