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.

    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.

    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?

    I mean, it’s a holiday weekend. Nothing would be more fitting than a president who hates the working class, dying on labor day weekend.

    The irony is yuge.

    Last time I saw a head of state with bruises like that on their hands…

    1000083878

    I know a nurse who saw this and said to me (before Elizabeth II died) “That’s somebody who’s been quite sick and had bloods done.”

      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?

        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

        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.

    Calling it. He did not. Source: People actually invested in knowing this would know. That includes traders on PolyMarket. All political markets are pretty flat since people started talking about this.

    It is possible given your evidence that something medical has happened, but that doesn’t automatically mean death.

        Other ones are very elevated now too. Maybe they are feeding the troops?

            Yeah that’s true. I just think Wikipedia is the worst source one can use to support an argument. So anything below that is basically just “trust me bro” to me.

              Once upon a time it was, but it’s pretty reliable now. It very clearly cites sources and has warnings for when things don’t have sources.

                It’s not just reliable, it’s well sourced and has a consensus of perennial sources from news agencies that are well known by people who give a shit about truth to report facts down to the gravesite, and they clearly list organizations that have slid down the scale of integrity in order to colour corruptive, enshittifying tendrils accurately.

                It is no less than one of the largest open and collaborative human works of knowledge and truth from all stripes, colours and ideologies blended and distilled into neutral-as-possible articles that exist.

                This pizzint ad slop on the other hand is agitprop bullshit for gullible rubes; google popular times ratings of restaurants as a metric isn’t a clever lateral thinking rubric inferring calamity.

                People don’t rate shit and Joe the firefighter isn’t housing ‘za while saving people from cooking, let’s get real.

                It does cite sources, however, many times I have tried checking sources only to find lackluster support for the statements being made in Wikipedia.

                Just today I was looking at this page: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigaer_94

                It states, that the building in question was given to a Jewish organization, linking to 2 sources:

                1997 wurde das Haus an die Jewish Claims Conference übertragen[2][3]

                Looking at the sources, they just seem to claim that the building was once owned by a Jew. This explains why it might have been given to that organization, but it’s no proof for the statement being made.

                I found several things like this over the years. I’d say this is a good 10% of the sources I bother checking.

                Maybe German Wikipedia is worse somehow?

                All that being said, I do trust Wikipedia mostly. I’m just saying, it’s the bare minimum IMO.
