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.

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.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

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

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day 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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 20 points 2 days ago (3 children)

look at melania, she must be estatic hes about to pass.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dude could be stroking out right there, and she'd just call a lawyer to make sure the will is secure.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

Or maybe that's the look he gets when he's pinching a loaf.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Justin Trudeau on speedial...

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't see JT taking that call

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Too busy with Katy Perry, which really isn’t any less weird to me.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

Melania surely made a very careful and open-eyed calculation before marrying DJT. I wonder if she still thinks she's above water on the deal.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

if he dies, she doesn't have to fuck the tiny mushroom dicked cunt anymore.

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I highly doubt she does. It marinates in his own shit 24-7

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

I'm not convinced that all the Viagra in the world could rouse that rotten toadstool to action.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

Looking like how my grandpa looked shortly before he died. Granted I've said that before and the bastard is still here but here's to hoping it goes through this time

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Oof yeah thats an old man who's unlikely to make enough of a recovery to be doing speeches for a living again. Didn't see if it's full body sagittal droop or just facial. Former says stroke, latter says palsy. Like neither is good for him but palsy is manageable, stroke in a 79 year old is entirely likely to be the beginning of the end.

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can see in the clip he checks his left hand with a lift but can't match it with his right hand. Similarly, he conspicuously doesn't move his right hand in his most recent recorded speech.

[–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Oh wow that is a subtle but juicy detail, sure looks like exactly that to me, nice catch!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

that explains melania so close to him, melania is going to reap his soul soon.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

She's just staying close in case he tries to change his will.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

Latter can also say stroke, just localized to the area of the brain that controls the facial nerve.

My hope is that something blows out in his brainstem. If he survives it, there's no way he'd be able to hide the effects of that.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Give him some credit. At least he's not asleep, like at the pope's funeral.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 6 points 2 days ago

I wouldn't consider this "not sleeping" either. It appears that he's in some state of mental limbo.

If this isn't a stroke, then his doctor should probably check for zombie bite marks.
