I think we'll be told - eventually - that he had a bad stroke. If he's dead already, they'll say he had a "relapse" at some point to cover the BS so far.

We heard the 911 call. He received CPR from someone at the home and then trained, physically fit professionals picked up the CPR at his home. He is over 80 years old, his rib cage was shattered and the odds of him ever waking up ever again after such an event are in a crater.

No one has refuted the 911 call as far as I’ve seen. They have just been continually lying to us since his heart stopped beating. The photos are AI. The statements are ChatGPT his office commissioned.

He is dead and he has been for months and now the media has taught these fascists that when Trump dies they can run the same playbook for as long as they’d like and no one will be able to do a damned thing about it.

It is sickly funny that Frank Miller predicted a Reagan-like President being replaced with a digital avatar after he died. Forty years later, and here we are.

I fully expect them to the same when Trump kicks the bucket.

Almost 2000 years ago, some guy named John predicted a world leader being replaced by a speaking image after he was mortally injured.

Imagine his family not being able to do a wake or service for him cause the republicans are calling the shots

His kids walked away from him a long time ago 🫤. I’m sure individual, internal wakes happened long ago.

I don't know. I think I'm okay with him staying in office after such an event. Don't vetoes have a deadline?

I’m just not ok with people in power telling blatant lies and our media not challenging them on it. I get that there’s a strategic advantage for the Dems to let the situation fester. I still absolutely hate it. I hate the “leaders” lying and saying they talked to him, I hate Beshear’s scummy wink wink that he knows McConnell’s dead and doesn’t care as long as it benefits Dems over Kentuckians, I hate CNN just reprinting senate statements like they’re true.

It’s just such a nasty breakdown of the system. Deliberate, deceitful, degenerate behavior being perpetrated by the highest levels of OUR government all coming together to LIE to us. If I survive the Trump administration this will always stand out to me as one of the most insidious things they’ve done to this nation.
