I mean sure seems like something a Harvard rowing team coxswain would be saying is happening.

JFC that's not a little bit of a droop. That's almost definitely signs of a stroke. A guy I knew at work looked exactly the same after his stroke. Trump looked relatively normal at the u.s. open a few days ago and you'd think after a stroke he'd at least take a week or two off given his advanced age and "robust" health. Maybe it's bell's palsy or someone smacked him upside the head with a frying pan?

Edit: Also this article seems a little on the nose.

He can’t take time off. He believes it’ll make him look “weak” and he’ll lose control of the narrative.

And deliciously, him trying to push through and play strong man will kill him even quicker. I seriously wonder if he’s starting to question his mortality or is just completely ignorant.

He disappeared for Labor Day weekend. Like all of it. Not a normal Trump weekend at all. The first interview afterwards was a private interview with a right wing outlet.

Then the AI facepaint video about Kirk.

The only thing that doesn’t fit with the coverup is the taking in front of Marine 1 if I have the timeline right.

Given his comments about getting into heaven, he absolutely is.

He is. He's been telling his dumbass fans to donate money to "help him get to heaven"

He's going to try to bribe St Peter, isn't he?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

The last time he disappeared for 4 days, everyone assumed he was dead. Now he can't take any time off, or the rumor mill will really start spewing.

If it was done with a frying pan ... they should have done the other side too just to even things out and not make it so noticeable.
