No-one is mentioning Trump's stroke

749 replies

It's like tumbleweed out there. During the live televised 9/11 remembrance service Trump's face drooped on one side.

No-one in the mainstream media seems to be mentioning it.

Ive only seen it mentioned on IHIP and the Meidas Touch.

His message about Charlie Kirk had a touch of the AI generated about it too.

I said exactly same thing

TheGander · 12/09/2025 14:31

I haven’t seen anything that makes me think he’s had a stroke or a Bell’s Palsy. In the short film of him sitting next to Melania he just looks like a man who’s dozing off. Considering his age and schedule it’s not surprising.

It’s literally how they see it.

It's 'literally' not though, I've informed 'them' of this inaccuracy many many times.

Literally.

The thing is I’ve been drawn into providing links etc before, and people just dismiss them, or attack the source or whatever.
I know this poster has no interest in seeing links, because if they were they’d see them. They’re not hard to find.

They are hard to find. Unless of course you are defining reveling in an unusual way.

You don't think he could have researched that himself? The risks are not exactly unknown.

Or don't you accept that he believed what he was saying?

iirc He was asked in an off-the-cuff manner so I don’t expect he would have this kind of knowledge.

But I think if that discussion would have gone past the ‘gotcha’ element, then you could have had a respectful conversation about it.

I hardly think the TMZ crew in the US, one US analyst and one university student represent 'pervasiveness among everyday people.'

If that's the best you could come up then it shows that it really isn't pervasive.

That’s your problem, you’re so arrogant you think I’m here to persuade you.

I don’t care what you think, I’m here to discuss my own thoughts and views, I’m not here trying to change hearts and minds, I really don’t care what you think.

We can have a debate and discourse, but I’m not here to prove anything to you.

Believe me or don’t believe me, I don’t care

That is your opinion, and this is theirs.

Both POVs are valid in my mind, but I think society is much better off with abortion readily available

Maybe she is a Christian. Christians do not believe in abortion regardless of circumstances. This is hyperbolic. A catch you out situation, 'what would you do it your 9 year old was raped and got pregnant'. So they can say ow what a bad person you are for saying keep the baby. Firstly the likelihood of a 9 year old becoming pregnant is very slim being most won't start periods at that age. Secondly as a Christian he has to say no to abortion regardless of the circumstances. You can't pick and choose which circumstances are OK to murder a baby because that is how they see it. The baby is the innocent and has no one to speak for it. Maybe you won't understand this view point, you don't have to but it does not make him a bad person because the murder of a baby is an evil act. Rape is an evil act but you are putting that evil act on to the wrong person for not wanting another evil act to come from it. It's thankfully an extremely unlikely scenario.

Give over. Loads of Christians are pro-choice.

Christians are also supposed to be against murder - but strangely that doesn't apply to gun-toting Republican Christians in America who shoot people dead for coming onto their property and support the death penalty. The hypocrisy about these same people bleating on about being pro-life is off the fucking charts.

But I think if that discussion would have gone past the ‘gotcha’ element, then you could have had a respectful conversation about it.

You don't expect him to have basic knowledge?

He didn't research what he was saying?

I think they want you to serve up the Internet for them. It doesn’t matter what you put they are entrenched and can’t see it.

If they want to know they can look.

If Trump dies then we'll all have to suffer that appalling blister Vance.

We're already suffering him, I doubt Trump is up to making any decisions.

'Appalling blister' is a good description, though. I take it you read Wodehouse?

Tik tok. Instagram. Facebook. Blue sky.

Probably any other social media platform you can think of.

They were even on here in the first thread, which was inevitably deleted.
I’m sure others can attest to that, I know I wasn’t the only one who was horrified

No, it's not an opinion.
It's factual that abortion is not the same as 'murdering a baby'.

Your algorithm must be wildly different than mine then. Because I can't find any celebration despite searching for it at your suggestion.

Having gone through childbirth several times, I know the toll it takes.

But my actual point is that Charlie would have seen the fetus as a blessing from god, I could
never see it as anything but a rapist’s spawn.

It’s just a completely different POV and not one that is reconcilable.

You genuinely don't understand what I'm talking about, do you?

You truly can't see what the rest of us are seeing about you.

X? That where the claims came from.

I haven't seen any celebrations. I have seen condemnation and sympathy for his family.

I guess my algorythm is different to yours.

If you don't mean Jo Cox by that, when we have very different memories of what happened!

The guy who did it had a stated right wing agenda, but of course when a hard right person murders someone on the left, we're told they're just nutters with mental health problems. If a left wing person murders someone on the right (not the case with David Amess whose murderer was linked to Islamic State, and I very much doubt with Charlie Kirk either) then the whole fabric of society is at risk because of radical leftism.

Edited

I will admit I was mainly talking about on here when I said about the reaction. In the rafts of posts that were going on I honestly don't remember any even hinting that she deserved it because of the party and beliefs she stood for, where with David Amess there were a lot of deleted posts and some outright saying it was probably brought on by the choices and actions of the Tory party.

People see what they want to see, I guess.

Exactly, I could provide hundred of examples, but what’s the point? They are not wanting a discussion in good faith.

These are the type of people who will tell you you don’t mean what you say, but a various ascribed motive they’ve given you.

Pointless

Didn't see what? I saw the crass comments about a possible stroke. Haven't queried that one. What I'm not seeing is celebrations of murder or violence. Because they aren't the same thing.

It's ending a life though.

It's preventing a potential life from further developing. The person who has to let that life develop, carry it and birth it really should have the most say, with medical advice and emotional support, and within the legal parameters of wherever they reside.
