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.

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.

You are wishing a stroke on someone?

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.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

So many of the ‘be kind’ advocates on here only mean it as a way to silence criticism of behaviour and people they support whilst being as vitriolic as they like about people they disagree with because ‘that’s freedom of speech snowflake’.

I meet energy with energy now. I will dance a jig and drink champagne when this hateful specimen of greed and entitlement can no longer infect the world in the same way he and ilk have done.

You’re one of the #bekind group aren’t you?

I think you are #bekind actually

LoafofSellotape · 12/09/2025 11:10

Doesn't look like a stroke, he's making his 'im listening intently' face which he makes a lot.

I wouldn't wish a stroke on anyone,even Trump.

Blimey, how horrid. I wonder how you will expect people to react when one of your family becomes ill?

I totally agree.

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

Exactly. Who is the hateful person? Trump or those hoping he's having a stroke?

Agreed, it's sort of his 'smell a fart' face.

Definitely Trump.

Here is a Google Gemini summary of his hatefulness:

Muslim Ban Proposal (2015) Trump called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” following the San Bernardino attack. This statement was condemned across the political spectrum and viewed by many as discriminatory.
Mexican Immigrants Comment (2015) During his campaign launch, he said: “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” This sweeping generalization sparked outrage and was labeled xenophobic by critics.
Charlottesville Remarks (2017) After a white nationalist rally in Virginia where a counter-protester was killed, Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides.” Many saw this as a failure to clearly denounce white supremacy.
“Chinese Virus” and “Kung Flu” (2020) Trump repeatedly referred to COVID-19 using terms like “Chinese virus” and “Kung Flu,” which critics say contributed to a rise in anti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes.
Proud Boys Statement (2020) During a presidential debate, when asked to condemn white supremacists, Trump told the far-right group Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.” This was interpreted by many as a tacit endorsement.
“Good Genes” Speech (2020) At a rally in Minnesota, Trump praised the mostly white crowd for having “good genes,” invoking language historically associated with eugenics.
“Bloodbath” Warning (2024) Trump warned that there would be a “bloodbath for the country” if he wasn’t reelected, a phrase that drew concern for its violent undertone.

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.

You’re joking, right? Fitter than most people?? I think you’d have to be quite a fit 80 year old to be fitter than most of the rest of the population, and I don’t view him as an especially fit 80 year old.

Shouldn't you wait to see who killed Kirk before spouting this stuff?

MyHeartyCoralSnail · 12/09/2025 11:20

nomas · 12/09/2025 11:08

They are both official roles that both take seriously. You do realise that, right?

Oh I’m very well aware of constitutional law thanks, sadly, it appears you’re not!

Anyway, to clear up the stirring of the original post.,if the president of the United States was having a stroke he would have been whisked away immediately to the nearest medical facility.

Clearly there’s a rabid group? Buoyed by the gunning down of free speech feel emboldened to spread their despicable hatred wishing another person ill.

The left are truly revealing their colours

Digdongdoo · 12/09/2025 11:20

Looks like a stroke to me too. Dodgy botox maybe? Either way he'll try and hide it. He doesn't look well though, which isn't all that surprising given he's nearly 80. Time to learn a lesson and stop voting for arrogant elderly men.

What law am I not aware of? 😀

I've said I don't think he had a stroke, so not sure what you're on about.

OldMcDonaldHadABigMac · 12/09/2025 10:54

And would you have said that you wouldn't miss the presence of a couple of black men if they had been the victims? And if not, why not? We're all aware of they colour so why the need to even say it?

What victims are you referring to here? Trump is most definitely not a victim! The fact that these men are white is relevant though, because many of them are anti anyone who isn't white. Keep digging.

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.

You do you.

Do you remember Trump’s undisguised glee at any health stumbles that Biden had?

What sort of ridiculous comment is that?

The free speech of which you speak so warmly is so often used to stir up hatred by those on the right - including Charlie Kirk - that I’m surprised you’ve got the brass neck to invoke it that way on this thread.

Musicaltheatremum · 12/09/2025 11:27

I'm not convinced. His nasolabial groove is the same on each side and you can't tell just by looking, you would need to formally examine his cranial nerves and muscles.

DorisTheFinkasaurus · 12/09/2025 11:27

Can’t stand the guy but honestly, it would suck to be him. I have sympathy for most people, even him… a tiny bit.
The world is in political chaos and crises (which he’s certainly exacerbated and exponentially added to).
If he hasn’t had a stroke, the stress of Being Donald (and all the darkness that comes with that) could reasonably give him one. It’s a stressful position, being a world leader. And then you’re Donald Trump, keeper of a gazillion demons, to boot. Good luck with all that!

TheLemonLemur · 12/09/2025 11:27

My dad suffered a stroke and after he recovered for rest of his life his mouth drooped like this if he was tired, had an infection etc

AInightingale · 12/09/2025 11:28

My mouth looked like this for about 24 hours after I'd had a double dose of local anaesthetic for a tooth extraction. It can knock the nerve out of action for a while, so maybe something like that?

If any of my family behaved in the manner in which he has, they would not be part of my immediate family anymore

And if they were a world famous individual, you'd be expecting less-than-sympathetic comments in the media and online.
