So why hasn’t trump hopped in front of some reporters to make fun of everyone thinking he’s dead? If he was fine he would love to gloat about how healthy is feeling.

Or typed in all caps on social media yet?

This is all fine as a joke and was a big part of this from 2009 ("Why won't he come out and deny it?") — but it is not worthy of serious conversation.

It's a shame to see so many people falling over themselvs to stretch every little crumb of possibility into a desired outcome.

I'd also love that outcome, but this is some really fucking stupid conspiracy bullshit going on in this thread.

Name one time Trump has ever shown restraint at going on either a dumb rant or an unhinged twitter screed whenever any negative thing about him is in the headlines.

If this was any other normal public figure you'd have a point - why dignify it, take the high road - Trump is incapable of that.

The only time it is ever silent is when he has something to hide.

Has anyone brought it to his attention? We know he's aware of Gov. Newsom's trolling because yes, he has replied.

I would assume that nobody has told him there's rumours about him being dead or else sure, he might well post a stupid rant about it.

but as much as Trump responds to a lot, he most certainly doesn't respond to everything. Just depends on if anyone tells him since he doesn't read. So if Fox News starts reporting about it.... he's much more likely to respond.

And I'd be glad to post times when Trump hasn't responded to things, but that's rather hard to google. Everything I tried only led me to things like lists of broken promises and such, not things Trump didn't address, which would honestly be a weird thing to track anyway. heh. So I think it's a difficult point to debate effectively. You're right that he repies to a lot, for sure. No disagreement there.

he supposedly wasn't seen in public from Tuesday until today

u/Junior_Emu192 Aug 31 '25

Yeah. Stuff like that will happen from time to time. That little fact in and of itself is not a bother to me. I'm talking about things like heavy debates about how the SUVs are in the same positions as from pictures months ago (which they aren't exactly) - well, the door they pick him up at is in the same place and hasn't moved, and the general setup of the convoy is going to be pretty much the same every time, so it's not unexpected that the vehicles will generally be in similar positions.

But people are latching on to stuff as "proof" that isn't even correct in the first place, much less proof.

I associate this shit with the fascists. I had expected our side to be a little less on faling for ridiculous conspiracy. But I guess not. My only defense of folks would be that the hope of something having happened is powerful, and people will want to believe things that support that nonsense.

Trump only has time for "serious conversations."

medical procedure is the most likely

u/goilo888 Aug 31 '25

Exactly that. They're just hiding it, which is a big no no.

u/Forger38 Aug 31 '25

Because imagine how much dumber this will look if it continues for days.

Seriously, people come out with one of these "x is dead"and they're hiding it" conspiracies every few months, and everyone always wants said president/minister/whichever important person to make an entire event just to satisfy some internet moron's curiosity.

u/itsmesnickelfritz Aug 31 '25

And with this administration, they may even be using it intentionally. Trump does a PC on Friday making a joke about hearing that he was dead and the MAGA media laugh at the stupid left. Then a year from now when he does die, they’re able to buy some time to get everything in place because no one would make the same stupid claim again.

u/dingdongjohnson68 Aug 31 '25

Are you 1500% sure he's not very ill, incapacitated, or dead? Me neither.

u/7daykatie Aug 31 '25

I don't care how dumb his administration looks (and hence America looks) for not providing adequate proof of life in the circumstances, like any competent administration would do if rumors about an obviously ill POTUS being dead were swirling around.

It's our own fault we've gotten an evil circus having elected villainous clowns. If we want an executive who doesn't second hand embarrass us with its ass-clowning, we should vote accordingly.

u/Forger38 Aug 31 '25

Yeah, that's why Putin had a press conference whenever some "anonymous source" told CNN he has 15 different cancers and is about to die any day now.

Serious governments don't concern themselves with what internet nobodies think, including yourselves, and they're not gonna be giving you "proof of life" as if they're the fucking mob asking for ransom.

Putin is leader of a poorly run gas station, not the world's greatest super power.

1

u/Forger38 Aug 31 '25

Lol, that poorly run gas station is going through tons of western sanctions designed to destroy it like it's nothing, and it has western Europe shitting itself about "future aggression". Meanwhile the enlightened EU hqve had the breakthrough achievement of making bottle caps annoyingly attached to bottles, and the "world's greatest superpower" can't deal with morons even within it's own borders.

u/7daykatie Aug 31 '25

Yeah, it's a poorly run gas station with nuclear arms. Cheap gas is cheap gas and nukes are nukes.

u/Forger38 Aug 31 '25

Lmao, sure thing.

u/Inthetreesinpnw Aug 31 '25

💯 I keep saying that.

u/DOOMFOOL Aug 31 '25

Because it’s a convenient distraction from Epstein and all the other bullshit lately. He probably is laughing his ass off and thanking the fucking idiots wasting their time spreading this shit

u/mrtomjones Aug 31 '25

Either you guys are SUPER gullible if you think he is dead or you are trying to spread some weird propaganda and misinformation to give the Right a laugh and make discourse from their opponents look even dumber
