He absolutely had a stroke. His bruised hand is probably from being hooked ip to an IV and being really, really old. The side effects are confusion, trouble being coherent, and other mental problems he already had so at least those won't be as noticeable as they would be on a regular person.

another side effect is ai generated official tv appearance
Which explains the AI edited appearance.... To cover for the ailment.
hes probably on anti-clotting medication, which can cause bruising and bleeding. clots which makes you prone to strokes.
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.
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 is. He's been telling his dumbass fans to donate money to "help him get to heaven"
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.
look at melania, she must be estatic hes about to pass.
Dude could be stroking out right there, and she'd just call a lawyer to make sure the will is secure.
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
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.
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.
that explains melania so close to him, melania is going to reap his soul soon.
Give him some credit. At least he's not asleep, like at the pope's funeral.
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.
Damn.
Concern is the wrong word, delight is the correct word. The sooner he dies the better.
Nah, if he dies too soon Vance has more time to cement his power. He needs to wait like 2 years and 8 months.
If he dies soon enough this counts as Vance's first term for 22nd amendment purposes.
Sadly, there is an ever-ending shit-shoot of potential other candidates to follow. They won't have to capture his audience or be as "charismatic" as he is. As things fall apart and degrade. They will just crack down as authoritarians do. On innocent people of every stripe.
On Sept. 11, 2025, people assumed that the Pentagon's memorial ceremony marking the victims of 9/11 would be a somber, typical occasion.
Are these people unaware of who is president?
And the most important question is: Where are the Epstein files?
I would have preferred the last three years of his miserable life spent in a maximum security prison, but as it seems like the law doesn't exist in the US anymore I will accept a series of strokes leading to shitting himself and collapsing on a stage in public. I'm okay with that trade.
Lol. I wouldn't call it "alarm".
Idk what they’re talking about it’s drawing joy and schadenfreude from me
Draws questions and alarm?
Question: When will he finally croak?
Alarm: They will be wasting millions to keep this rotting corpse alive for as long as possible.
"Draws alarm"?
Yep, it's the party alarm.
Jeez, why doesn't he just blow a gasket and get it the hell over with?
He is already leaking fluids, and solids, on a daily basis. There are multiple confirmed reports.
Not sure what gasket you are referring to
Get your fireworks and champagne ready
While I won't wish Mango Mussolini a quick death, how hilarious and poetic would it be if he just had a splash of Bell's Palsy?
For those of you who don't know, go look up the name of one of the viruses that causes Bell's Palsy and join me in a sensible chuckle!
Although the exact reason Bell's palsy occurs isn't clear, it's often related to having a viral infection. Viruses that have been linked to Bell's palsy include viruses that cause:
* Cold sores and genital herpes, also known as herpes simplex.
* Chickenpox and shingles, also known as herpes zoster.
* Infectious mononucleosis, caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.
* Cytomegalovirus infections.
* Respiratory illnesses, caused by adenoviruses.
* German measles, also known as rubella.
* Mumps, caused by the mumps virus.
* Flu, also known as influenza B.
* Hand-foot-and-mouth disease, caused by a coxsackievirus.
Took me a minute. Epstein-Barr virus did give me a chuckle.
You want to hear something scary? The most likely candidate to take over MAGA movement is MTG.
She's a stooge and a useful idiot... She doesn't have the ear of anyone important. Hell, i don't think she's on any legislative committees, which tells me nobody important is backing her.
Edit: just looked at the committees she's a part of. Her only appointment of note is being chair of DOGE....i rest my case.
I doubt that will happen; no matter how batshit crazy her takes are, she's still a woman and that's a disqualifier.
I doubt it, but she's definitely going to try. So will every other MAGA with a reputation, include media types.
MAGA is a cult of personality, and once Trump assumes room temperature, so will MAGA. But they won't want to let it go, so Don Jr, Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Rubio, Patel, Empty G, Boobert, Loomer, Hawley, Johnson, Cotton, DeSatan, etc. will all be stabbing each other in the back.
It will be ferocious and endlessly entertaining.
Nobody will take over. They'll fight amongst themselves, but they were all choosen for loyalty to Trump first and competence a distant second.
Denzel kept making that same face in that new Spike Lee movie, so it might be nothing.
I say he should avoid see a doctor about it, and wait until gets much, much worse. Then ignore it for a while longer, because it will probably go away.
cant wait for his face to droop all over his keyboard making him RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES by accident
Can news organizations please PLEASE stop it with the headlines that are all ALARM! BE AFRAID! SLAMS! RIPS! EMERGENCY!
We have already enough to be anxious about without them helping. I don't care if this is about the Cheeto or Obama or my mother. Stop it with the clickbait headlines for every single headline.
Make Jews Boring Again, the way news is supposed to be!
