    Who knew? Campaign speeches from both sides were correct. Both Biden and Trump we’re too old to be viable candidates

    I believe Trump has had multiple strokes in the year or so at minimum. I’ve said this before on different posts, but my grandmother passed away in 2008 of a massive stroke, but leading up to that she had many smaller strokes that slowly debilitated her took away her voice and she slowly developed dementia and Alzheimer’s looking at Trump in just the last year, something major is going on internally inside of them. It’s only a matter of time before something. Major happens hopefully live on TV. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

        Yeah, and I’m also OK with Biden checking out whenever it’s his time, as long as Trump goes before he does, and Trump’s demise is a morass of fear, untreatable pain and humiliating degeneration.

          He’s the oldest, but most mentally healthy by far. If his heart hangs in there he should be able to.

            It’s fucking wild to me that he’s still sharp as he is, especially when in juxtaposition to Biden and fuck face

              It’s far from inevitable that old people get brain-rot. The risk increases with age, but is never overwhelmingly high.

              My grandfather made it to 101, and he only slowed down a bit mentally in his final year, and even then, more because of his hearing getting much worse than due to any cognitive decline. I’m a strong chess player, and he could still hand me my ass when he was in his late 90s.

    I am starting to think he has already received a terminal diagnosis of some kind and we’re just seeing him moving through various stages of his narcissistic personality trying to deal with it. His obsession with stopping a war of some kind (to try to get into heaven), his posting of the magic cure-all beds video. He knows his time is short and is desperate to find a loophole to immortality either through science or religion. His energy has been dropping precipitously and his ramblings are more incoherent than usual.

    This could all just be wishful thinking on my part though. His death through natural causes may be a way out of this nightmare, or at least slow things down enough for a chance at recovery.

        If he’s aware of his decline, that’s pain, especially for someone who has been as unaccountable as he has been.

      You are delusional.There is no recovery. More competent and evil fascists will take over. You are part of the problem.

        Look at history and show me a fascist movement that sustains long after their charismatic leader’s death? NK is a special circumstance, but is also passed down by blood.

          NK is a special circumstance, but is also passed down by blood.

          We’re headed in that direction. An advantage of this “Trump 2028” merch is that it works equally well for Donald Trump Jr. Then we’ll get Eric in 2036, and then by the time 2044 rolls around Barron will be eligible to run.

            Who likes Jr? Even though Donald is just as much a product of unearned wealth he had the public perception of a successful man whilst everyone sees Jr doing nothing but hang around Donald.

            He also has the personality of a wet noodle.

            I guess we’ll have to wait and see, but Don Jr. seems to have blown his shot a while ago, and Baron is far too young to continue the line right now.

        If he dies MAGA will fracture. None of the other ones have his cult-like image to their voters.

        We can hope that they dont have the cult of personality that the orange fascist has though. A lot have tried to be like him but he seems to be the only one who can really get away with it which is likely largely due to his “business man” status and preceived “wealth/success”. I assume maybe in his absence, someone will be able to lead the dodos, but its also likely that whoever it is will lose a critical chunk of voters from the fringes.

    With how absolutely nuts he’s been acting this last week, I would not be surprised if he’s completely lost the plot by now. It’s like he’s trying to do all the crap he planned for all 4 years in just 2 months because that’s how long the doctor thinks he’ll live.

      Well, it’s getting to the end of 2025, and no one has a project 2026, so I think they want to make everything happen soon.

        The problem is the primary goal of project 2025 was to focus heavily on the “mandate for leadership”. Which is to replace key federal leadership positions with like minded conservatives within the first 180 days of the presidency. The reason being that even long after the Trump is out of office they will still have control.

        This was something they believed hurt Trump the most during his first term and were so focused on in his second term. Funny enough he whole Doge/Elon Musk actually fucked up and slowed down their effort. Maybe that was a factor on musk leaving who knows.

        Regardless though, it doesn’t matter what health issues or whatever happens to Trump now, he’s pretty much already help pave the way for them. We will be dealing with the consequences of this for decades.

    He isn’t the one with strokes, dementia or mental decline … all of us are for continuing to accept that this orange clown is a significant leader that deserves our attention.
