Despite the White House insisting he remains in “perfect” health, Mr Trump fed the flames of speculation during a rally in Dalton, Georgia, this week, ahead of the November mid-terms. Addressing the crowd, the president made an offhand comment about Chinese president Xi Jinping, who he said “was here last week”.

In reality, Xi visited the US and met with Mr Trump during a three-day trip from September 23 to 25, around three weeks ago. The apparent blunder sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with one user labelling him “Dementia Donnie”. Another wrote: “He doesn’t [know] what day it is. It’s gonna get worse as he goes along.”

    FFS an entire article about his mental decline at the rally and didn’t even mention as he left, he wandered right by the limo door being held open for him and into an empty field before being herded back by a gaggle of panicked agents.

    He’s going to live a lot.longer than you think. And if you think he’s just going to pack up his classified documents and leave the Shite House in 2029, you’re very mistaken.

        The year is 2032. The crowd is gathering for God Emperor Trump’s birthday parede. Not voluntarily, but at least they get beer and a desiccated burger. The organizers are doing their best again to make the Emperor presentable. The orange makeup covers a lot, and the smell has been gone for a couple of years now. Still, their hearts tremble when the handwaving mechanism kicks in. People need to see Dear Leader strong, to forget the war that has been ravaging the Mid-Western states. The parede ends well, no body parts have been flung this year. People shuffle back to their buses, savoring the rare taste of beer in their mouth. Many of them take the burger in their pockets back to their kids in the barrack. It will be a good day for them too! Long live the Emperor!

        See, I think after the midterms they are going to kick him out for Vance and try and parlay the next two years into 2 presidential terms for him.

    Informal poll for the commenters: how long do you think the WH will insist he’s alive after he dies? Whenever that day happens, they’ll say he’s in perfect health until its impossible not to. But how long will it take?

    I think at least a week.

        The dude is a real life Eric Cartman. The more you are outraged, the more you control you give him. He thrives off being constantly in the news, good or bad. The only way to beat him is to ignore him. And vote, maybe…

          that’s solid advice, except trump is actively wrecking the country and the world. trump starts another bullshit forever war just because he can, and your suggestion is to “ignore him”?

          no. i’ll shit on trump until the day i die.

          “and vote.” ok. we’ll see if voting is even a thing that matters in our fascist country in a couple weeks.

    Why does Trump get so many comments? He’s such a piece of shit. I regret leaving this comment. UPDATE: I didn’t realize this was about his failing health. Upvote extended

    Even this level of hope doesn’t justify a link to the Express. Some publications should always be ignored.
