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.
Idk he might still be a Soviet leader of some kind

Don’t do this to me again, don’t give me hope.
Me too, I am trying to quit alcohol and I would hate to waste a lot of money on expensive alcohol.

They may just "Weekend at Bernie's" this shit as far as they can take it.
I'm calling it now. If this keeps up, they'll roll out AI-based addresses and propaganda in his image for a while before they have to face the music. The biggest tell is that if they use his voice, it'll be cogent, understandable, and to the point.
They already tested the water with the med bed AI video where he spoke too clearly. When they got caught they deleted it.

Some folks here believe once Trump is dead, his empire will pass onto someone else. I couldn't disagree more. Every time someone tries to do what Trump does, it's a big flop. It will all unravel with him gone. It's called a cult for a reason.
MAGA is a Cult of Personality, and there is no #2. Plenty of people feel like they are the obvious successor, but NONE of the MAGA followers believe that. They worship Trump, and Trump alone. When he dies, MAGA dies with him.
When he assumes room temperature, the knives are coming out, and the backstabbing will be glorious. All the Dems have to do is stay out of the way.

It's less about this being a cult, more about it being a cult of personality. Regular cults can continue on, a cult of personality dies when the personality dies.
Exactly. Trump's control over his base is unique. This is why they wanted him on top so much. We a bit fortunate that he is such an old and unhealthy fuck instead of being someone younger. Trump was always this egotistical and delusional. Can you imagine how much worse it would be if he was just 50?
I hope it does unravel without dragging the whole world into another war. But i fear the seed of hate has already taken root. Unless the entire system is purged of hate I don't have confidence it will be as simple as the Don kicking the bucket.

I'm honestly curious how long Trump is gonna make it. Realistically he's probably running on a bunch of drugs at this point. No shade here, I assume Biden and maybe even Obama were the same. How do you work that much and not sleep? The answer is drugs!
Even if they are "relaxing" the president has a lot of stress, the job physically ages you. Trump being on a golf course is still probably stressing out even if he doesn't give a shit about the US; whether it's about how his personal investments will work out or about his personal vendettas the job is stressful.
Trump was also severely stressed while out of office due to the pressures of the lawsuits he was under. With 12 years of stress the man may be 79 currently, but he's probably way older physically. I don't see him making it through this term and the only way he's made it this far is drugs and a good pharmacist.
Doesn't stress you out when you don't do anything.
Why would you think Obama was on drugs? He was only 56 when his term ended.

I hope he is playing golf. I heard that the strokes they do are grand!
This seems like a legit story but it is so off-putting when articles quote random social media comments
Rawstory sensationalizes small bits of real info, constantly. He'll probably pop up tomorrow.
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.

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.

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.
I am hoping he lives long enough to prosecute his half of a civil war. We want the bad guys to constantly step on rakes, and Trump is very good at that. Ideally, he should die in the middle of that, so that Thiel, Elon, and the rest of the dickhead gang can fight over the throne at the worst time possible for the Dark "Enlightenment"...no, the Dim Ignorance.
The less good people have to die because of these jackasses, the better.

The best hide and seeker, many people are saying.
Hopefully no one finds him
