He’s either dead, or deflecting interest in the Epstein files.

I'm starting to think he had a stroke. If he is quiet the next week, shits gonna get crazy with speculation.
Donald Trump should simply make a public appearance to show that everything is just fine.
Let's hear about his health and wellness directly from him.
Also, release the Epstein files.
I think he should prove how macho manly he really is by taking up that one guy on his offer to walk around a city...Baltimore, was it?
Also, he should go bike-riding with Biden to really show who is boss!
I'd love for this to be real, but Newsweek is absolute trash right now. If they are right about something it's probably by accident.
I suspect he's genuinely unwell. The man is, above all else, a complete and utter attention whore and this is a rumor that could be immediately dispelled by him doing a loud, showy, public spectacle. That should be like Chistmas for him; it's basically the universe giving him PERMISSION to do one of those fascism pep rallies he's so fond of, and yet he hasn't gone for it. Why?
I don't think he's actually dead but I do think he's in a bad way.
My guess is he had another stroke, and he is hoping his speech will recover to the point that it's not obvious.
When he got COVID the first time he made an appearance while he could barely stand and breathe.

100% this. That and his deep and abiding narcissism. His sycophants keep saying he's the most accessible and transparent POTUS ever, but it's just because the guy is absolutely THIRSTY to be in front of cameras at all times.
If something was not going on, he'd be racing to be in front of those cameras already.

He might have had some routine surgery, probably not uncommon for someone his age, but his vanity won't allow himself to appear weak
What's to disbelieve?
You think the picture wasn't taken a week ago?
No, I dont believe he'e on death's door. He will probably live to be 100, because life isn't fair.
Well, frankly him dying now, having avoided all real consequences his entire miserable life, having contributed nothing positive to planet earth, lying and raping his way all the way up to the highest office in the contry, is also not fair.
Life isn't fair, Your Highness. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.

This final season of America is getting interesting. 🍿
Optimistic of you to think this nightmare will ever end
Americans would do well to remember that the Roman Republic didn’t fall overnight, and it wasn’t just one person seizing power, but three different people over the course of 55 years.
The first, Sulla, retired from the dictatorship as promised but the republic never recovered from his actions or constititional reforms. Two generations and a few civil wars later the republic was finally dead in all but name.

Hmmm? It's almost like electing 70/80 year olds to the most influential and powerful offices in the world is a bad idea.
You know... Retirement age in America is like 62 most places. Just saying.

And some are even forced or incentivised
If I were Joe Biden, I would ride a bike in front of the White House every fucking day.
Let's be 100% honest, Biden's health probably hasn't improved since he lost to the fascist oligarch, he probably can't handle daily cardio of that extent.
Plus, it's not safe for him with so many protests and gestapo roaming DC.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure Biden’s getting chemo now. I imagine he’s not up to doing that, but it’s a pretty funny idea..
Fine, let Bernie do it
Is "Trump's health is failing" the new "Trump will be arrested any day now"?
Not really; Trump dying is guaranteed to happen, while Trump getting arrested is basically guaranteed not to
Gotta hope for something - it's the only justice we'll get
Can't run away from time.
Just enjoy the lack of bullshit in the news while he isn't tweeting
There’s only so many Big Macs you can stuff into an 80+ year old body before something gives out.
It's presumably a distraction technique. But I'll shed zero tears if it's true

His last few posts use em dashes, there is no way he wrote those. He is probably feeding promts into AI and posting that or someone is doing that on his behalf.

Every time he posts something on his little Twitter imitation the media says something like, “Trump proves he’s alive by posting that…”
Now I’m not a conspiracy theorist and frankly I doubt Trump is sick, but this drives me nuts. A post on social media proves nothing. Anyone could have written that. Now we’ve got two cases of golf photos being released and treated by the media as definitive, when one is absolutely old and the other was also rumored to be outdated.
Have there been any public appearances since he “resurfaced “? If there had been I’m sure I would’ve read about them.
Again, I don’t buy the theory that he is dead or dying, but something is weird. He normally never stays out of the spotlight.
The running theory is he's has a stroke. He was struggling to walk in a straight line when he met Putin
He's 80 odd and lives on a diet of mcdonalds and coke and "works" a stressful job
His blood pressure is likely though the roof
These, "we assure you the president is alive" posts sure are raising a lot of questions already answered by the, "we assure you the president is alive" posts ...

Yep and you can't see his face, it's from far away, and if it is him he looks like he had a stroke. That picture proves nothing. The man who loves to speak to reporters and have camera time suddenly is camera shy, it's suspicious.

His health went into deep decline after meeting with Putin. 🤔
