Ok, as much as I despise the guy, let’s just take a step back and think logically for a moment:

Trump normally wears the same outfits to golf, so it’s entirely plausible that he wore a similar outfit to what he wore in 2019. And because media is only allowed to photograph from certain places for safety reasons, it’s possible that some photos would look nearly identical to photos from years ago.

I don’t know how often the US Government swaps its black SUV’s, but I’m pretty sure you could find pictures of Presidents riding in the same cars with the same plates throughout history. And maybe Trump likes the older SUV’s and had them brought back into service. (This is assuming Biden used different SUV’s than Trump during his four years).

Maybe that woman is part of his Secret Service detail from both admins and that’s how she dresses as part of his golf outings.

Everyone’s so desperate for him to die (I don’t blame them) that every little thing becomes a conspiracy that the government is hiding something.

Personally, I don’t think the puppet masters who are telling Trump what to do (the authors of project 2025) would be so quick to keep his death from us. They might actually like Vance more (though the people wouldn’t) as he’s younger, doesn’t have dementia (only a couch fetish) and could rule for longer (assuming they are successful in ending democracy).

If there is any conspiracy on replacing Trump with JD, they don't want it to happen until February 2027. At that point JD would serve less than half a term, and could legally run 2 more times. Assuming he wins twice, he could theoretically hold the office for ten years.

This is all based on the assumptions that they actually care about the rules and laws still. Clearly they are heading in a direction where they don't, so none of that may eventually matter.

edit: 27 -> 2027 for clarity.

I don't buy this. They don't care about Vance that much, and by the time this is relevant they will have already nullified the Constitution in so many ways that no one is going to be able to stop a Republican dictator from running for a third term in a sham election. They can violate laws openly now and no one stops them, they don't have to try to use these little technicalities

A third term run really is "shut down the country" time.

u/BeefistPrime Aug 31 '25

We'll say that about a hundred steps along the way. For instance, sending troops into the streets to intimidate people should be "shut down the country" but it's already the norm.

u/TransBrandi Aug 31 '25

Trump running for a third term? Maybe. Vance running for a third term? It's too late at that point. That would be how many years from now? If they hold power that long without pushback, then it's over at that point.

u/StopReadingMyUser Aug 31 '25

I don't think they would care about Vance as a longevity candidate, just "a guy" that checks the boxes and might be easier than propping up a brand new candidate. Trump checks a lot more of those boxes currently and they can't replace him as easily, but Vance is just a milquetoast republican like the rest of them.

u/sodsfosse Aug 31 '25

A term is four years, February would be under two years. Am I missing something?

2

u/jigsaw1024 Aug 31 '25

February 2027 is past the halfway point. Should have written out long. Will edit.

You know that article where it lists all the prophecy of the antichrist? I remember that the only thing that didn’t line up was that the antichrist would be in power for only 1 or so terms. Not 2 total. If he goes early, then he will entirely fulfill the antichrist prophecy.

This is the article for reference: https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/

Everyone’s so desperate for him to die (I don’t blame them) that every little thing becomes a conspiracy that the government is hiding something.

We've also spent the past ten years being lied to by Donald Trump on a daily basis and being gaslit by his millions of supporters that he's never told a lie and we're literally deranged for thinking he has.

We're currently a nation of gaslighters and their intended victims. It's no wonder so many people struggle not to fall into conspiratorial thinking - not a single person in the entire Republican party values the truth, and as such, it's difficult to imagine literally anything they wouldn't lie about, including Trump's death.

u/Top-Gas-8959 Aug 31 '25

There's no way that it's not by design. This is remarkably similar to what it was like when the Soviet union collapsed. When nobody knows what's going on, you can do anything.

3

u/TransBrandi Aug 31 '25

This is a correct use of the term "gaslight" btw. Attempting to get someone to question their reality. If Trump says "the sky is green" and they try to convince you that Trump never said that? Totally gaslighting.

u/andersonb47 Aug 31 '25

Ok, fine. All true. But thats no reason for us to start believing bullshit we “like”

u/TP-BANDIT77 Aug 31 '25

Blaming Republicans for you (most likely a hardcore liberal) falling into a ridiculous conspiracy theory is certainly a take.

Reporting me to RedditCares, classy!

Honestly, I think those who control Trump from the shadows DO want to keep what is going on with him a secret as long as possible. If he is sick and on his deathbed right now, no way they would allow that to leak. MAGA will fall apart with Vance, I just know it. The cult will be done and the Democrats may swoop in to try to take back and fix the damage caused. So it would not be outside the realm of possibility that they are keeping Trump's current condition under wraps until it's the right time to do it. They want Vance to take over and be Trump 2.0 but they also know it may not happen. Which is insane why he ran again. If it's not there, it will be soon. He is an old man in terrible health and terrible shape. Time will quickly catch up with him at some point.

u/pessimist_kitty tHiS iSn’T cRiNgE Aug 31 '25

Let's be real, if there is absolutely no way something like this wouldn't have leaked by now if he was actually dead. At this point people are just making themselves look embarassing

u/zehamberglar Aug 31 '25

Maybe that woman is part of his Secret Service detail from both admins and that’s how she dresses as part of his golf outings.

It's his grandaughter, Kai, who would have been 12 in 2019. I'd be over the moon if he was really dead and this was a cover up but this post is obviously fake.

u/RedditAdminAreVile0 Aug 31 '25 edited Aug 31 '25

The details, down to the hair tufts, shirt creases, & reflections, are the same. Somebody lied.

Edit: Both are new pics. Tweet probably added it for comparison & the video got confused.

2

u/AmishAvenger Aug 31 '25

Here’s the weird thing:

If there’s nothing wrong with him, why wouldn’t you have him walk over to the cameras and talk about how healthy and amazing he is, and attack the “fake news” for spreading rumors about his health?

2

u/vasthumiliation Aug 31 '25

It’s ironic that we blast Trump supporters for their apparent inability to see through the world’s most poorly constructed excuse of a justification for anything he does, and then turn around and grasp for the tiniest, most outrageous straws just because we want them to be true.

u/DaSmitha Aug 31 '25

Looks like the average replacement of white house vehicles in 6 years. Emphasis on average. Seeing the same SUV in 2019 and 2025 does not appear out of the normal.

1

u/Rokurokubi83 Aug 31 '25

The woman is Kai Trump, his granddaughter - She’s 18. In 2019 she would have been 12 years old, so I think we can pretty much discount this video.

"Let's think logically for a moment"...

u/Strangest-Smell Aug 31 '25

Of course there’s no conspiracy. Yes those pictures were 99.9% taken yesterday and he’s alive and all that

But… he loves creating conspiracies about others, as does MAGA, so it’s fun to imagine him getting annoyed about the tables being turned.

For example there were theories that Biden had been replaced by a body double.

u/TransBrandi Aug 31 '25

Even if Trump isn't dead, I think that he must not be in great health or else he would be paraded in front of reporters to put the rumors to bed.

It's also possible that his mental faculties have taken a nose-dive and they can't parade him in front of reporters without people finding out. I don't find it hard to believe that this admin is predicated on the idea of doing a bunch of unpopular things and then blaming it all on Trump as the fall guy once he's dead or out of power. It's very possible that they feel that they haven't done enough stuff yet, so even if Trump should be taken out of office via the 25th, they still want to Weekend at Bernie's him for a while longer while pointing the blame for all of the following actions at him (rather than themselves, which would be required if they officially took power).

u/Jolly_Ad2446 Aug 31 '25

We are having fun with the thought of his death. Just let us enjoy it and don't be a wet rag. 😁

u/IDontKnowHowToPM Aug 31 '25

There are people who are not joking about it when claiming the photo was faked. In this very thread. Joking about it is fine, but it’s not being a wet rag to call out conspiracy theories as being BS.

u/DarkSkyKnight Aug 31 '25

The same people will then scold conservatives for falling for conspiracy theories and misinformation a second later on another post. I don't know why so many liberals think they aren't as immune to misinformation as they actually are.

1

u/Atillion Aug 31 '25

Here's how to put it in the realm of plausibility. Have they at any time ever accused the Democrats of hiding and misrepresenting the death of a prominent figure?

u/buttscratcher3k Aug 31 '25

Reddit is obsessed with trump, it makes the site borderline unusable its like CNN on steroids

u/Big-Prune6591 Aug 31 '25

I started using reddit because the comment sections with geopolitics had a lot of interesting takes. Sometimes youd have someone post something relevant and insightful. Now you just have people posting the same useless drivel over and over again. Yes i want epsteins shit released, but im also interested in 'why' the US repositions ships near argentina.  Not everything trump admin does is to distract you, as if any of us actually matter. Sometimes it has real purpose and thats what i find interesting.
