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.

          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.

        Because the admin isn’t being transparent and trying unsuccessfully 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

    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.

    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.

    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?

      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!

    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 would be standing right by Trump’s side in his hospital room… pillow in hand…

      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.

    Bonus post of a reddit user:

    spoiler

    [–]MartyrOfDespair 917 points 3 hours ago

    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.
