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.
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?
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.
From our mouths to god’s ears.
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.
Let people have even a glimmer of optimism?
Because the admin isn’t being transparent and trying unsuccessfully to hide it.
Wishful thinking. Similar to ‘thoughts and prayers.’
its usually not, unless you are going to great distances to hide it.
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.
Think: No
Hope: Yes
I really fucking hope he did but evil bastards somehow always live longer than they should
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.
we arent that lucky
I’m unfortunately just as pessimistic, but, one can hope!
That’s my belief as well
Also the pentagon pizza place is busy.
It is now. 222% spike at dominos, which appears to be one of very few open this early.
Other ones are very elevated now too. Maybe they are feeding the troops?
How often do they get to this highest “defcon 1” pizza traffic rating?
Reddit said so
That “source” is worse than Wikipedia.
Most sources are worse than Wikipedia.
But not many are as bad as reddit.
80% of /r/politics: dailybeast thehill newsweek slam a melt down on a rage or whatever. 50k updoots to the left pls
Yeah that’s true. I just think Wikipedia is the worst source one can use to support an argument. So anything below that is basically just “trust me bro” to me.
Once upon a time it was, but it’s pretty reliable now. It very clearly cites sources and has warnings for when things don’t have sources.

It does cite sources, however, many times I have tried checking sources only to find lackluster support for the statements being made in Wikipedia.
Just today I was looking at this page: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigaer_94
It states, that the building in question was given to a Jewish organization, linking to 2 sources:
1997 wurde das Haus an die Jewish Claims Conference übertragen[2][3]
Looking at the sources, they just seem to claim that the building was once owned by a Jew. This explains why it might have been given to that organization, but it’s no proof for the statement being made.
I found several things like this over the years. I’d say this is a good 10% of the sources I bother checking.
Maybe German Wikipedia is worse somehow?
All that being said, I do trust Wikipedia mostly. I’m just saying, it’s the bare minimum IMO.
You sound like my high school English teacher from 2003.
No. Evil has long lifespans for some fucked up reason.

China is atheistic and they are still oppressive. It’s less of a religious thing and more of a power corrupts thing.
Goddamn this is so fucking true. Ugh.
Yup.
Donald may be sick but he probably has two decades left at least.
Calling it. He did not. Source: People actually invested in knowing this would know. That includes traders on PolyMarket. All political markets are pretty flat since people started talking about this.
It is possible given your evidence that something medical has happened, but that doesn’t automatically mean death.

Funny way to describe degenerate gamblers
No. The idea is pure hopium. His health clearly isn’t good, but Vance wouldn’t waste a second to take the oath of office.
Vance wouldn’t waste a second to take the oath of office.
Vance would be standing right by Trump’s side in his hospital room… pillow in hand…
Vance looks around the hospital room.
“Is this one of those…”
/wipes drool
“Sleeper sofas?”
Eh. When Reagan was shot in public there was hemming and hawing about how to proceed, and this was only a year or two after Reagan had used dirty tricks on GHW Bush to win the primary. Bush would have leapt at the oath of office.
Trump has a cult of personality that will probably assume any death in office is the result of foul play. It’s not impossible that Vance et al would spend a few days working on how to spin the issue to prevent a coup attempt by some MAGA nut jobs.
There’s no way it’d be kept under wraps. This White House is leaky as hell. There’s pretty good chances of another journalist being invited to a Signal chat on the matter.
GHW Bush was a far savvier political animal than Vance. He had a lot of experience by then. Vance only first held office in 2023, and he mostly wrote books and worked for investment firms before then.
But they’re so good on OPSEC!
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.
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.
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
Wait, isn’t the line of succession in the US straightforward? Or how do you mean a power grab?
It’s supposed to be, yes.
The president is also not supposed to be above the law.
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’s alive, but holy shit he looks worse. Maybe it’s just a bad photo.
Too bad
Probably a look-a-like. /S
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.
Maybe that’s the key, we need to do some permutation of a rain dance in order to cleanse us of this. Dance and change will come
What I’ve read sounds like a medical emergency. Not getting my hopes up though.

Bonus entries:
He has no plans to make Labor Day about himself and is doing nothing for it. He is not using a federal holiday to jack off.
It is currently 3:22am in Washington DC and he is not rage posting on social media, his favorite hobby at the normal time.
Not only is he not rage posting in general, he has yet to have a public meltdown about these events.
The posts on his social media have not been him in days. The language is off, and “he” hasn’t even used “I” in a bit.
