No-one is mentioning Trump's stroke

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.

People are losing it. Celebrating all kinds of things, whether it’s a stroke or the Charlie Kirk stuff.

Yeah, it’s disturbing. My politics and views don’t align with these men’s but to be celebrating one man’s death and hoping another has a stroke is low.

‘When they go low, we go high’…..let’s stick to that. Be decent human beings even to those we disagree with.

The White House lies about his health etc. They say he's 6ft 3 and 225lb - 16st 1lb. Utter BS. As when Trump stands next to various other politicians and other major figures and these are 6ft 1/6ft 2 tall, they are taller than Trump.

Trump is more 5ft 10.5 and 300lb (21 st 6lb). 6ft 3 was his height before he shrunk.

Then there are the bruises on the back of his right hand which he either covers by putting left hand over right or very badly applied make up. This is from a cannula - ie he has something injected in him via IV.

You never see him going from a sitting to standing position and vice versa.

The Kirk speech was AI as background looks weird and his speech sounds too clear. He mumbles and slurs.

Fair enough.
I'd just like to see civilisation doing better than lowering itself to Trumps level.

Not being particularly bothered by his health is way above his level. He’s been accused by dozens of women of sexual assault and rape. So no, I don’t really care about how well he may or may not be. Apart from the fact that I think Vance as president is a worrying thought.

Glitchymn1 · 12/09/2025 10:35

Is it false news? Ai generated. I’m not sure.

GleisZwei · 12/09/2025 10:26

I'm not lowering myself to his level though, I just don't care about a narcissist.

I didn't mean you personally, all my posts have been about people in general. We can't be outraged at Trump making nasty ageist digs at Biden in one breath and then make the same ones back at him in the next without losing the moral high ground.

He was mysteriously out of sight for several days recently. Not like Trump at all. Mini strokes often occur as a series.

One of the theories spreading around on his first appearance after a few days away was he had a LVAD - Left Ventricular Assist Device installed. https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/medical/lvads

As people were commenting that he was tugging his right side of his jacket to be more central. As that's where the control unit is placed on the lower right of abdomen.

If that is the case of him having a LVAD installed - then he cannot fly for many months for long distances that close to the surgery

Eyesopenwideawake · 12/09/2025 10:39

It was just one photo, look carefully and you can see he's contorting his face. In later photos he (sadly) looks relatively normal.

Surely if Biden wasn’t a narcissist - with a massive ego - he’d have stood down when he became ill. The fact he didn’t, and was determined to continue, shows a similar level of narcissism and arrogance. Biden was just quieter about it. He was an equally unpleasant man with equally unpleasant policies depending which side of the fence you were. Same with Trump - enough people voted him in.

Biden probably overestimated his on ability, I personally don't feel he's on the same level of unpleasant as trump.

I'm not celebrating any deaths, but I don't/won't miss the public presence of a couple of unpleasant white men. Of course I appreciate their families will mourn them. Remember when Maggie Thatcher died? We felt for her family, but many were glad to see her go (and she was nowhere as bad as Trump, in terms of humanity).

Unpleasant white men? So you'd feel differently if it were black men? Why did you feel the need to add white into what you said?

Liondoesntsleepatnight · 12/09/2025 10:40

He is fitter than most of us, he plays golf most weekends, 18 holes, both Saturday and Sunday - sometimes in 30c summer conditions. I don’t think it’s a stroke but a saggy face, my turkey neck recently flapped in the wind.

I'm not aiming for moral high ground, I just refuse to care about someone like trump. I don't really care about any narcissistic men.

scalt · 12/09/2025 10:41

I've got some memory of Al-Fayed being reported as going to make clones of himself (at the time when "genetic cloning" was big news, Dolly the sheep etc.), so that he could go on "living" after his death, because he knew he was hated by many.

I'm almost surprised that Trump isn't going on about some new immortality invention, heaven forbid.

The men we're discussing are white, despite one trying to become orange, are they not? Of course I don't particularly like narcissists of any colour or sex!

Yes, ‘celebrating all kinds of stuff’ has been happening for a while now.

Trump isn't exactly caring himself, is he now?

Is he your new moral baseline ?

Interesting: wonder whether he’ll insist on the state visit? I suspect the king will be somewhat relieved if it’s postponed.

Only a few acolytes didn't want Biden to step down urgently. He was clearly, demonstrably unwell and his continued presence made a Trump win a terrifying reality. If you can find a single person on here denying that Biden was unfit for office during the Presidential campaign, I'll give you a fiver.

Very likely, @LinedOverLatte

More to the point, had Biden stepped aside - or his party acted - in time for a more popular candidate to be found we might even have been spared a Trump presidency, but instead it became too late to spend the campaign money on anyone but Kamala and here we are

During all the memorial services of the 9/11 anniversary, all the presidents spoke to some of the victims' families. Trump has not done that in his first term and yesterday. Plus clips have surfaced on 9/11 itself, he boasted that Trump Tower is now the tallest building in NY. That is BS as the Empire State Building is over double the height of his ugly thing.

Shows what a heartless, arrogant and selfish buffoon he is.

L0V315 · 12/09/2025 10:48

Scrotus Trump is a cunt and as such deserves only the foulest of cunty curses to flow his way.

The day he kicks the bucket along with Putrid, Wrong Un and unseXi Jizzing will be the most beautiful glorious day for the planet Earth 🥳

Cheats at golf. He has problems with his right leg. Also he never plays golf at courses he doesn't own.

I have just googled this and the one photo I could see doesn’t look like anything more than a fleeting facial expression on an old orange bloke.
Shame though.

What’s a shame? That he had a fleeting facial expression or the fact he didn’t have a stroke. If the latter that is disgusting!!!

Just hilarious how, the moment Trump is treated with the lack of empathy and cruelty that he shows to anyone who disagrees with him, all the pearl-clutchers come out to lecture us on decorum and humanity and good manners. Newsflash -- Bekind doesn't mean bekind to rapists, racists and child molesters. And if that causes hurty feelings well: grow a pair, snowflakes.

It's weird how Trump being evil is just Trump being Trump, but everyone who opposes his racism and misogyny has to be whiter than white and carefully moderate their language.

You’re ok with it then? Just the people you don’t like or those you do too?
