The president had yet another strange mark on his hands over Christmas, once again raising concerns that his health is not what he has claimed it to be.

Donald Trump—the oldest person to ever be elected president—was photographed with what appeared to be another bruise on Christmas Eve, this time marring his left hand.

The 79-year-old has repeatedly claimed that he is in pristine condition, brushing off public alarm over his deteriorating body.

      It fear it will be the same as with Charlie Kirk. A very loud minority along with an army of AI social media users will agressively threaten anyone who says that the death was not a huge loss.

        And here we are joking about the asshole sowing the wind only to reap the whirlwind. The patron saint of FAFO.

        • There’s a bunch of problems derived from the child rapist existence so I’d say it will solve a few.

          And will give us satisfaction for seeing a child rapist kick the bucket, that’s always good news.

          And perpetuate the rest as everyone starts acting like the problem is over and they can return to before

            Do then hopefully it goes one and off getting worse and more painful to the point where he’s barley functional enough to keep being the king but not doing much else? Can he do that for his country for the next 3 years? Or maybe until November?

          If it also had a rusty chassis and needs 4 new tires and the window is back ordered or no longer available, it might be time for a whole new used car.

          What I’m trying to say is that if the midterms don’t go well, my family and I are going to look into that Canadian descendants citizenship thing.

      I plan on celebrating that illustrious day, but I do think we need to temper expectations a bit. I am truly not convinced it will actually change much. Trump is a symptom not the mastermind.

        Yes, but Trump is the figurehead of a cult of personality and those never survive the loss of their face. There are enough loose cannons and outright insane people within the conservative political sphere that even if there is some kind of secret master plan on what to do after Trump is gone, once the inevitable shitstorm of internal backstabbing starts as everyone desperately scrambles to put themselves at the top it’s likely to all go down in flames.

          The RWA (Right Wing Authoritarian) personality type is notorious about lining up behind a figure they deem as “strong”, though. Suggested reading: Bob Altemeyer’s The Authoritarians.

          So I guess we’ll see.
