Accept nothing but a public appearance as proof of good health.
Dude went on a rant about satan the other day. He’s shorting out whatever brain cells he has left.
Wasn’t there a nazi episode on the the original star trek that might explain this?
Ah man, they might be able to legally mint that coin after all. Fuckers corpse should be buried in a prison yard.
No, buried at sea so they can’t build a monument.
Remains chopped up and fed to pigs would be nicer.
You’re gonna give those poor pigs high cholesterol
You’re right, bad idea. Pigs deserve better.
Wood chipper, then.
And cremated.
Fuck that, i don’t want to go to prison to piss on his grave.
Just send the prisoners pedialite a have faith it gets done.
he’s hiding scared more likely
People think he rambles a lot, but it has a purpose to it. What I’m worried about is that after meeting with the Project 2025 guy, that rambling might be receiving some calibration as well as a long series of other meetings to see if they go a new route.
I don’t think he is really that ill simply because JD Vance would have been picking up a lot more of the slack if that were the case to position himself as the new president.
Then there’s also the possibility that he is part of the caste of the country that does actually benefit from having no government oversight or presence during a shutdown. It makes people and groups that much more dependent on the private market alternatives these oligarchs own.
Maybe he isn’t making any comments because this is where he wants to be right now. He still controls ICE, the execute and the supreme court can still continue reshaping the US, and he’s in a point where he has essentially just hit the pause button on any changes in congress until he can decide how to revert and influence that. He’s at the point where people who protest the extended shutdown can be incarcerated as the “radical left” “homegrowns” for whom the shutdown helps prevent any recourse as well, he’s putting any loyalist he can into ICE and it has a bigger budget than the rest of the military, he’s plunging and farming the value of the US economy which he and his oligarch friends can weather and later buy up on the low. It seems like he might have settled for this as a win condition, so he’s no longer making appearances to push things into other agendas for now.
States need to step up if the government remains shut down, this is the perfect opportunity and excuse for them.
You make it seem like he has a plan. I see an aged poser pinballing around in a toddler stomp. We may both be close to the truth.
He might be twiddling his thumbs but I bet the shadowy cabal controlling the right definitely has a plan and a schedule they’re working on.
Dump is in a holding pattern.
Trump’s “plan” is too choose whatever is best for him psychotically and amorally. He’s not where he is right now because he had a plan, but because as you put it, the path was laid for him. It became clear with the drastic changes and statements he began his administration with. A destination was presented to him, and he’s tried to follow the path to it with the indications he has been given. Sometimes, he has even blurted out the “landmarks” prematurely, like his comments on Greenland and Canada.
He’s just at a point he realizes he can already exploit, which probably seems like a good option to him since some of the directions he has received aren’t working out that well for him.
He might not have a plan, but there are people who have and can sell him on doing small simple tasks that rump can actually understand, or at least do, and profit out of
Project2025 confirms this.
You think with trump and his sycophants and handlers would be willingly parading around their younger, hopeful replacement? “Strongmen” will lie and obfuscate the truth because the lie works. Look how long they’ve managed to get his followers to believe he’s just a virile and Uber healthy, fearless leader. They won’t shove the wet mop with eyes that is JD Vance into the role until they absolutely have no other options. Look all throughout history, these types of fascists have to project strength even when it’s clear they’re old, decrepit and on the edge of death.
They won’t shove the wet mop with eye liner that is JD Vance… There, fify.
I mean, there are only so many golf courses, he’s on one of them getting in all those strokes, best place for it.
His past few vids were not even very convincing AI, he’s barely hangin on. When I was a kid my dad’s friends would joke about the decripit soviet leader being strapped to a 2x4 and dragged out for public appearances. Well well well how the tables have turned
He was referring to Breznev. In the late 70s he was in terrible health and was hospitalized but no soviet media talked about it. There was a joke that Russia TV was just a ballet channel due to the constant playing of Swan Lake to fill in the time.
Thanks for the reference, most of that side of the family died in pretty quick succession so these memories are just what my mind can contain. tbh Swan Lake 24/7 might do more to heal our nation than the news onslaught we get. My dad died in '16, about 3 months before Trump got in, and I’m almost happy he didn’t have to see it. He was a lifelong republican but he was also a WWII buff, I’d never seen him actually afraid of a politician until then. I’ve been traveling the world since I was 17, he used to be terrified for me, but during that campaign he started encouraging me to spend more time abroad.
Cameroon literally does this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Biya
Weekend at Biya’s?
Idk he might still be a Soviet leader of some kind
Stop getting our hopes up. Evil bastards live a longtime.
Yeah, every time I see a headline saying “Trump, 79, …” I just scroll past it at this point.
It’s not going to stop the madness.
Only the good die young, i.e. Kissinger.
They likely have a replacement ready. When you manage to get a group all-in on tribalism juice, they’ll come up with cognitive dissonance and narratives all on their own and fall in line no matter what happens.
Oh he’ll for sure be propped up and wheeled around indefinitely, but it’s basically confirmed he’s getting more frequent TIAs and worse recoveries despite his treatment. Real question is how bad is the next puppet going to be once he croaks.
I don’t think there is anyone close to being able to hold onto the MAGA fan base of Trump kicks it. Vance sure can’t, Elon is universally hated, as is Stephen Miller. None of Trump’s kids has any charisma either.
The whole point of everything the administration is doing right now, is to make sure support won’t matter. Who needs supporters when the vote is rigged?
They can only rig things so far. There’s a reason Congress has a record number of Republicans that have an announced they aren’t running again. There is a reason red states are rushing to push gerrymandering to its limits. They expect more elections to be contests.
The next few years would end up being “weekend at Bernie’s, Trump edition”

Honestly if he really is ill, I very much wouldn’t put it past them to off him themselves and blame the “radical left” in order to kick off the civil war they keep trying for.
Why would it matter if he’s sick or not? They dont care about Trump any more than they care about CK. He’s just a tool that has served its purpose at this point.
deleted by creator
If he died of natural causes, what makes you think that’s how the White House would report it. They’d say he was killed and use it to create a false divisive narrative, blaming some left wing conspiracy or assassin who doesn’t exist. They’d use it to galvanise maga behind Vance blah blah blah…
I feel we might even get a “Weekend at Bernie’s” situation.

Exactly my thoughts.
deleted by creator
they won’t be able to focus that rage, it will quickly divest into the thousand little in-groups of conspiracies, backwoods nutcases screaming into the void, random nuts in trucks driving into drugstores and shooting up pizza places.
Curious how many will assume Vance poisoned him to become president or something like that.
deleted by creator
Look, I’m not saying that Vance has been poisoning Trump to take over, I’m just saying we all know he’s capable of it. Of course we should wait till the investigation into Vance reports their findings before jumping to conclusions, but come on, everyone knows it’s entirely plausible.

You hit the nail on the head re: Vance.
The cushion connoisseur occasionally pretends to give a shit about working class people (even though he doesn’t). MAGAts want their faces brazenly spat on, because they’re temporarily embarrassed billionaires and being poor makes you worthless*.
I shudder at the thought of a Kirk-led timeline though, so thank you for the silver lining.
*according to them.

Even if they don’t explicitly say it (which they will), the MAGA hordes will concoct their own conspiracy theories and believe them. After all, they are all QAnon alumni.
If he’s dead they’ll Weekend-At-Bernie’s his corpse and get someone to shoot it, blaming “The Left™”
The god emperor demands his psykers
That guy is a Tyranid at best
Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke!!!
Question then becomes what to do about his lieutenants. We still got to deal with the evil that is Miller. In fact. I think tRump is too big an idiot for the full scope of evil that his administration is doing. I think much of this comes from Miller.
Musk owns many politicians and is throwing his seig heils.
Correct. Trump is just the face but if he stroke out and can’t make public appearances, the facade falls quickly and there will be a 25A crisis.
MAGA isn’t going to follow en mass any of the fuckers propping up Trump.
MAGA isn’t going to follow en mass any of the fuckers propping up Trump.
You sure about that? They chanted, “Jews will not replace us.” They’re setting up camps. They hate the same groups the Nazis interred. They’re seig heil-ing. They want genocide.
I think that means they’d follow anyone who gives them permission to hate. Hate is a powerful narcotic.
Yes they’d still hate but I don’t see anyone else they’re willing to follow.
No, MAGA dies with Trump.
They’ll all try to coalesce around someone, but there will be multiple candidates, based on their own personal ambitions, rather than the needs of the country. None of them will gather enough support to conquer the others, and they will be ripe for destruction, if the Dems can get their shit together.
But if Schmuck Schumer and a Jeffries are still running the show at that point, the Dems won’t get their shit together, will barely respond to the atrocities of the last decade, and allow something far worse than MAGA to arise.
You’re confused in thinking MAGA is one contiguous group. There are Nazis within MAGA (in fact they have been promoted, especially this term), but there are non-Nazis too. There were people in MAGA who loved Charlie Kirk, and people who hated him for being pro-Israel.
The only thing tying them together is Trump.
but there are non-Nazis too.
I’m not so sure of that. Are there? This seems a hopeful fantasy in light of their lack of showing after tRump 2.
“Non-Nazi” in that they can look the other way while the actual Nazis do the dirty work.
They’re still Nazis but it’s not their defining political position.

Trump dead before Dec. 20, take your bets
Christmas Day would be the ultimate present. Oh you don’t like us celebrating on the day he died?? Who’s waging a war on Christmas now?
I don’t think he will make it that long.
Halloween or Thanksgiving would work too. Actually Thanksgiving may be the best choice of the three
This would absolutely make my Halloween!!!
Columbus day is also coming up very soon.
Evangelicals would claim it as their Jesus returning to heaven.
They’ll put a giant memorial up in Washington for every American person to weep at and they’ll track who comes to grieve and whether they have done so sufficiently to avoid the work camps that Dear Leader Vance will have built for disloyal citizens and degenerate queers.
The portapotties will be the closest we’ll be able to get to pissing on his grave.
We should print up some Trump grave urinal cakes now. Could make a fortune on that day.
Remind them that Jesus Barabbas’ hiatus from the cult - a symbolic death and then rebirth - took place closer to passover anyway. There’s little chance we can keep Mr Trump alive long enough to line that up.
Can we get this one on some of those event betting apps? I’d throw a dollar or two at that bet.

My body is ready
Don’t give me hope
Oh man, I’d be tempted to bet my savings on him living past then. That way I either win big or at least make some money.
Has anyone made a website for him like the one for Kissinger? That way we can all bet and help a charity
deleted by creator
I’d honestly put money on him not making it to term, but that might be the safe bet. The thing is, that leaves us with Vance.
Vance is useless as fuck and is incapable of herding his republican cats. He was a joke before Trump and he’ll continue to be a joke after.
Iirc, the revelations anti-christ is supposed to rule for 7 years, I also have some memory that there was a hint it might not be consecutive.
Vance is definitely easier to manipulate. So I honestly don’t know who is worse.
Eh… Vance isn’t the childish wanna be strong man that Trump is. He’s an ambitious ideologue who has the backing of powerful wealthy men and will 1000% take advantage of the ground work towards authoritarianism that Trump laid. I wouldn’t be shocked if he fails to inspire MAGA at large to fall in behind him. He’d probably fave a lot of opposition and other Trump wannabes in a future election, if we have any more of those. But he will definitely try to hold onto all that MAGA influence and he will likely succeed in at least getting Trump’s cabinet and the Republican congress and SCOTUS to prop up his bullshit just like they did Trump. They’ll be relieved to have a more predictable autocrat in charge. If he continues to undermine elections and the rule of law like Trump, well… I’m sure he doesn’t hate the idea of being a young dictator for life.
I’m keeping an eye on Hegseth too
Yeah, dude is certifiable and would absolutely love to coup Vance’s ass
Between the strong jawline and the talking head experience, I think he could play the MAGAs like a fiddle
Don’t forget the crazy villain eyes and sense of smug superiority.
You think Vance is easier to manipulate than the literal pedophile with a lifetime of compromat who consistently flips his convictions over who complimented him last???
I’m not saying Vance isn’t easy to manipulate, I’m just saying I can’t imagine there’s an easier to manipulate human being over the age of 4 than Donald Trump.
Search video, Vance flips web cam upside down… please if you haven’t seen it.
https://xcancel.com/patriottakes/status/1844796855437180945 found a link to it.
Yep, that’s it. Our VP ladies and gents.
Vance won’t be able to capture MAGA any more than a used condom filled with Trump’s diaper drippings would.
I agree
JD has the charisma of a damp gym sock…
I’ve gotten the feeling that Trump acts out of loving himself, while Vance explicitly wants to be awful. Both about as terrifying, but Vance seems more menacing in my mind.
More menacing, but definitely won’t be able to hold the cult together
Vance himself isn’t the problem insofar he’s a symptom of the same disease Trump is one of. His ties to cryptobros and Peter Thiel, however, most definitely are.
For sure, and I was mostly considering them as individuals which admittedly isn’t the most pertinent when the rest of the party is the way it is.
I wonder if Las Vegas is accepting bets on the subject.

This asshole will do anything to divert attention from the Epstein files.
I don’t want him to die yet.
I want him to live long enough to face all the consequences of his every criminal action. I want him to die in prison after losing everything. After watching his entire criminal family jailed, his buildings and golf courses sold, and his name forever marked as the despotic maniac he is. Even then, it would not be sufficient justice.
We already know that isn’t going to happen though. The smug raisin was impeached twice, has raped children with Epstein, and is currently declaring LGBT+ and their allies as terrorists. If those things weren’t enough to have him locked away, what will be?
I honestly think the most justice we could hope to see would be his bloated, festering body finally giving out on him on national television. But I doubt his retinue will give us that joy.
