How long does Trump have left?

301 replies

whoremembers · 20/07/2026 21:35

In office?
On earth?

Will he just carry on, an unwell man, until 2028? Or will he call it quits and resign?

Or will he pass before then anyway?

I am no Trump supporter, but he really is 'going out sad'

Edit: context
Its becoming clear that Trump has a kind of dementia. A guy on tiktok claims that at the World Cup Final, he was 'sundowning' by wondering around everywhere.

Him being handled there and in Turkiye, is proof enough for me. Apparently he constantly smells of urine as well, due to his meds.

Quite.

As far as I can see he's still more competent by several orders of magnitude than his Democrat predecessor was.

He is also a sex offender tho and most likely a paedophile. He's not just a bumbling demented fool with access to a powerful army. He is a risk to the world.

I have noticed Melania has been more solicitous of her husband in the last year or so. I think she knows the state of his health. Her behaviour is telling.

how fucked up making a thread trying to predict when someone will drop dead 🤢

and then people wonder why politician's despise some of the general public when we do things like this thread

If you watch “epistemiccrisis” on instagram he’s a very sick man and apparently being pretty much kept alive by monthly iv infusions. He’s certainly not capable of leading a company.

He is the funniest man on the internet at the minute. His countdowns and borrowed times are a work of comedic genius.

I work in older adult mental health as a psychiatric nurse. I see people with cognitive difficulties and support dementia diagnosis on a daily basis. Trump is NOT sundowning. You would know if he was sundowning. And you absolutely cannot hide moderate to late stage dementia. The impairment is very obvious by that point.

Sundowning involves significant disorientation to to time, place, and person. You will present as very confused. You might start asking for your mum, or want to visit a long deceased relative. You might be agitated and lash out verbally/physically. You might become tearful and weepy because you are so confused/upset about an event you have regressed to. You might be paranoid and accusing your relatives of poisoning you, or thinking your wife is off out with other men.

Trump is unhinged and perhaps he does have a cognitive impairment, but he isn't not in moderate to late stage dementia. I agree he doesn't look well but it's more likely he has something like heart failure and the combo of that and his medications make him sleep. Heart failure can cause significant exhaustion.

I agree with you i woekedx

Forgotmyshades · 21/07/2026 00:16

What a gross thread
You can dislike someone's politics thats one thing. Throwing around tasteless tiktok gossip about someones cognitive health, physical health and personal hygiene not to mention wishing a speedy death is just low. He didn't look like he was being led around at the World Cup final, he looked like a man who enjoys taking center stage.

If Trump had moderate or advnced Dementia it would be very evodent
Hes 80 he quite possibly has cognitive decline

SemperIdem · 21/07/2026 00:21

If Trump has dementia, it is absolutely not at a significantly progressed level currently.

He may have some health issues, most do at his age. However I think he is just elderly, and no more cognitively impaired than he has been at any other stage of his life.

And you believe that’s really him? That some renouned doctor is going to go on TikTok and state as fact that Trump has x or Y condition?

You do know that 99% of what’s on TikTok is AI don’t you? Even the ones claiming to be Trump/keir Starmer/Martin Lewis, or Dr whatever his name is are deep fakes. Not real.

I despise Trump and everything he stands for. But there is 0 proof of any of this stuff, it’s all propaganda. And TikTok is by no means a representation of truth and honesty.

99% of tiktok is not ai 😩

Yes i do - he is a doctor who lists his qualifications in each video

Yes, sundowning can happen in the earlier stages of dementia. While it is most commonly associated with the middle and later stages, symptoms can begin earlier on. However, early-stage episodes are typically milder, less frequent, and often manifest as subtle irritability or anxiety as the day wears on

I didnt care that she passed

I care the usual amount about a murder happening. Noone should murder someone because of their abhorrant politics

And to murder an old woman because of how she voted when in parliament is the work of a psycho

An opinion you don't like 🙄Don't be soft, it's unbecoming.
I see Trump, Musk, Bibi the Russian fella similar to Hitler in that they are not only dangerous and powerful, but there essence is like cancer spreading.
Anne Widdecombe, not so much.

So the tiktok doctor is correct in his use of the phrase then 🤷‍♀️

No-one said he has advanced dementia where he doesnt know whats happening at all. Once he gets to that stage, we'll never see him!

Just that he is experiencing sundowning relevant to the progression of his disease

also to add to the dangerous list is the vast and majority of the uneducated public about many aspects of government, and the general public thinking they know better how to goven than the government itself ?

For the record I did not agree with one iota of Ann Widdecombe’s politics but was very upset when I learnt she had died. And am still feeling physically appalled at her death and the manner of it tonight. And I also don’t want Trump dead.
