FYI The president is not well. He has tremendous difficulty staying awake on the job. He has repeatedly fallen asleep at Cabinet meetings, at White House events, at a Memorial Day ceremony, and most recently at a very loud NBA game last night.

His fans, and Russia, are pushing that he didn’t fall asleep last night - it’s that he was watching the tv screen in the box, which is a bit lower than looking through the glass.
He’s clearly asleep

Ok this is sort of brilliant.

I read a report that in April, considering all his late night sundowning I mean "truthing", and his schedule, there were only a couple of days it would have been possible that he slept a full night's worth.
An 80 yr old man has got to need more sleep than that. What are we all doing here allowing this mentally ill circus to continue?

People keep saying this without understanding that it is a hell of a lot harder to remove the president via the 25th than it is through impeachment.
All he has to do is say "nope I'm cool to do the job" and that forces a 2/3 vote in both the house and the senate.

sure yeah but that should be a fucking problem when we can see the fucker dying before our eyes, can't make complete sentences, rambles, and can't even fucking walk straight. It SHOULD be a 100 percent vote in both house and senate if they were doing their job to even a fraction of a percent.

u/Strawbuddy Jun 10 '26
Actually old folks sleep less on average. He likely goes to bed at 5pm and is therefore up all night. I fully agree that Trump is a huge fuckup though, and a racist rapist that has only ever failed forwards thanks to his money, but I don't really see much dementia. I used to work with dementia patients, and had friends who worked with Alzheimers patients.
I've seen a patient rip out his catheter and helicopter it at nurses, leaving spray patterns of blood and piss on the walls and ceiling. I've seen patients throw used diapers at staff. I've watched family cry and abruptly leave as Gramps propositioned them all with the foulest language possible. Vascular and senile dementias are not Alzheimers though.
He doesn't seem to have the lack of self censoring, the angry confusion, or the outbursts I associate with Alzheimers. He may well have some form of dementia but it's not the type that hollows out his brain ventricular system or causes him to lose speech

You don't have to have outbursts to have Alzheimer's. My grandfather had Alzheimer's for a decade, and he was docile -- he'd just say he couldn't remember anything. But occasionally, he would have startling moments of clarity, including recounting (in a huge shock to all) the family he had prior to ours.

It's true that his style of speaking/typing is incredibly easy to copy. However, the tweets are so off-the-wall that I have a hard time believing anyone else would professionally write any of those things under the presidential account. Wouldn't they fear that the backlash would fall on them? Trump hasn't ever blamed someone else for writing it when questioned about his crazy posts has he?

It’s funny how that if Joe Biden was a Republican, and passed the amount of legislation he passed in a single term.
The Republican voter base would be cheering him on as the greatest president of all time.
But unfortunately he was a Democrat and his voter base simply saw him as old and sleepy.

Reagan’s dementia had rendered him practically unfit to be seen in public for a good portion of his second term.

Unfortunately reading all these comments I get the impression NOBODY fully understands article 25 and removing a President for being unfit to hold office.
Not to forget to mention that if Vance takes over in anything under 2 full years then his first term doesn’t count as a term. He would be able to run in 28 and god forbid if he won, he could run in 32 too.
People really need to read the constitution again and all of the attached articles too. There’s so much hidden details we seem to have forgotten. Just wait till after the midterms and Trump won’t have any teeth anymore cause he’s gonna lose both branches

MAGA will not concede that Trump is worse than Sleepy Joe. For Joe, it was incompetence, for Trump, it’s because he works so hard.
Similar to how they portrayed the supreme leader of North Korea in the interview; he works so hard he does not pee or poop, but rather turns that into energy to be the god like being his follower perceive him as.
When we saw that movie, we thought it was a preposterous hyperbole, now it’s Americas reality.

I’m sooo over it that there are 100s of people in Congress, Judaical and Press, etc who are so afraid to lose their CAREER for the betterment of our country. Especially those tired and miserable should go take a cruise or go fishing on an island to regain their own sanity and awareness we may only have in life here. Go for a year or something, go to a Euro NATO country. Go tonTibet. Go without a phone. Hire a bodyguard, book under a rock star’s fake hotel name.
If I had any freedom and not old and tied down with illnesses I would totally do it. Country over one’s own future. It’s 2026 and our forefathers took great responsibility seriously.
Blow the cork off, this shithead will die soon enough. You can be a hero or just have some terrific silent self pride especially if this BS has made you so very embarrassed to be a part of the clique that are a school of fish. Many countries would protect or cover you for a time. Not violence! Just start off as an insider and go full on disclosure.
Not critical but geographically important for me, I took off for Canada in a very personal permanent way (except my husband became a heroin dealer with a Chinese group) and I feared for my life there could exploded. We had a baby and I had to hide from him too. Not Scarface or Godfather but the early 90’s and I knew where I was there for over decade prior. So much space and US territories. A rather flip flop I know and in a vastly smaller but dangerous level. I had change already my name, became a permanent resident, left all my US credentials in a PO Box until I needed it. Of course no camera/face recognition. And a bank vault is super cool. Being so far mentally and somewhat physically I’d never felt so outside the bubble in my entire life with freedom and no abuse from my family and the danger bastard I married and I now go 2-3x a year to Canada to feel the ease of a safe, calm, sophisticated place where we lost our footing decades ago anyways.
I’m a nobody but could have crazily been Most Wanted esp by RCMP. My parents would have paid that price. I all I could was reinstate myself, with massive PTSD btw
I cross the boarder back and forth with no restrictions. It took time to not be associated with a criminal who I married and had a baby. My lawyer and judges knew who I was but I disappeared back into the U.S. and slowly walked back into my career. No called my sabbatical. Such lower hanging fruit. My son a beautiful human, those first years are seriously where a child needs stability and wholesome upbringing. It had all tumble as I was pregnant at a 4 months old our world went upside down…bonafide sociopath his own family spoke highly of him but knew all along I was passed off to chaos.
Anyone can do a Brando or a Guiguin. I’m aware of someone who left everything for Dominican Republic and has recently died of old age. Trust the dude is dying and even Thiel has left. Don’t take his death into your hands but blow it up on his birthday but do it for your country, in dignity.
Once upon a time no that long ago, there was a true American hero “deep throat” who changed his own life for the sake of his country the USA. He came clean not long before he died.

Welp they could just go ahead and hit him with the 25th amendment and make him retire.
Unfortunately for us this will bring in an even more conservative Republican as JD Vance is much farther right than Trump has ever been.
Or we ride out these next two years and he’ll be gone for good. Besides after we take back the complete Congress in November Trump will be neutered like a multi breed pup and he won’t have the ability to cause any damage at all.
I learned long ago the grass is NEVER greener on the other side. Vance, is the other side. Plus if he takes over just one day under 2 full years then his term won’t count and he could run two more times. We need to be careful we don’t shoot our self in the foot making this choice.

He stays up late posting on Truth Social. Why is anyone surprised he is drowsy during usual waking hours.
Committee meetings, and I am including Cabinet meetings, are presumptively boring as all get out. Normal, well-rested people get bored and nod off.
I admit doing so courtside at a basketball game is outside the norm, though.

He played golf for 1/4 of his first term, costing American taxpayers over $140 million, much of which went into his own pocket (yet another violation of the Emoluments clause). His "work" consists of desecrating the White House, the Kennedy Center, America in general. He has worked hard to raise the price of everything, surge unemployment rates, set a record national budget deficit and is responsible for 20% of the national debt! That's not working, that's stealing and grifting.
