Is there any truth to the rumor that Trump's team are keeping him out of the public eye because ...

[eppur_se_muova]

... he's finally suffered that "complete psychotic break" that the mental health professionals have been warning us about for years ?


Just asking for a friend.

[Faux pas]

1. I'm hope hope hoping

for several million friends

[DENVERPOPS]

50. I would be pleased

with what is called a "Widow Maker"..........

[FirstLight]

69. I'm sure Melania would too...

LoL

[DENVERPOPS]

73. I can only imagine

she insisted on artificial insemination for the pregnancy of their son......

[jmowreader]

81. I was thinking more along the lines of...

"Close your eyes and think of Slovenia."

[bdamomma]

98. -------

[BobTheSubgenius]

116. Good thought.

My take was "Close your eyes and think of Park Avenue."


I bet she thinks she'd make an excellent "golf widow,"

[thesquanderer]

111. I would worry that whoever replaces him on the ticket would be harder for Biden to beat. n/t

[LiberalLovinLug]

114. I don't think so

For one they would have the same problem as Dems if Joe was replaced. Not enough time for their candidate to gain traction.

But I think more importantly, they would not be Trump. And after you've built a cult leader, no one can ever replace him.
In fact i think there'd be a bunch of them that would think the "deep state" or even never Trumpers within the party orchestrated his demise. And wouldn’t trust any replacement. A lot of hard core Trumpers might simply not vote at all

[thesquanderer]

115. Nikki Haley polled better against Biden than TFG did. The thing about TFG is...

... that yes he has his fanatical base, he is also disliked by a huge number of people (not just Dems). Anyone who replaces him I think would still get most of his vote, but more importantly, would pick up a bunch of people who would never vote for him but are not otherwise averse to voting for a Republican.

[LiberalLovinLug]

117. Yeah Nikky does scare me

Because she can straddle the fence better than any other Republican.

And take advantage of Republican voters uncanny ability of hypocrisy. She could campaign on being different than Donald, and then tout her experience working under him and that he may have a rough personality but he did some great things for America!

I still think there’d be some Trumpaholics who might not bother to vote.

I’d hope that if they did put her in there, and gawd forbid she won, she’d not be as narcissistic, or easily led around by fake compliments, or as criminal as Trump. She hopefully wouldn’t let herself be a stupid tool to implement the 2025 plan.

[thesquanderer]

119. Yes. Joe is picking up votes from people who are scared to death of a Trump presidency.

Nobody is scared to death of a Nikki Haley presidency.

[republianmushroom]

80. You are not alone.

[dweller]

2. He is supposed to have a sit down interview

With slanthead Hannity tonite on fauxsnooze , so says my local news channel

I bet he calls it in



✌🏻

[Beartracks]

45. He almost always calls in. How do we know it's not a Trump impersonator on those calls?

[yobrault1]

110. if an intelligent word is spoken and not

pure gibberish, you will know it is not TSF on the line.

[onecaliberal]

3. That's what some people are saying, I mean people are saying that so...

[onethatcares]

4. rumor does have it as far as I know

something about him going up hill to fight the battle of Bowling Green. But I'm just repeating what someone else said and they were reliable people

[regnaD kciN]

9. "Many people are saying..."

…that he’s finally lost it altogether, and is currently wandering around Mar-a-lago, one hand stuck inside his jacket, ranting about the need to get revenge against that damn Duke of Ellington.

[PatSeg]

37. And after General Lee told him,

"Never fight uphill me boys".

[yardwork]

63. Just dying!

[Omnipresent]

103. General Lee had many formidable foes like...

Blackbeard and Calico Jack!

[PatSeg]

109. Ha, ha, ha!!!

[3Hotdogs]

91. The Bowling Green Massacre....... Dems were able to hide that one under the rug until Kelly Conway

set us wise to that shameful day in U.s (Hey, did anyone notice that "U.S." also means US? history.7

[Blue Owl]

5. Millions of people are saying tRump is secretly working on Project 2025

[634-5789]

39. I believe that 100%.

[DBoon]

6. I'm sure the New York Times will be right on it

[PurgedVoter]

7. How could you tell if Uncle Piss Wig had a complete psychotic break?

I don't see how that would change his demeanor, expression or choice of words.
That complete psychotic break probably happened when he was six.

[AllyCat]

76. Perfect reply!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

97. Seriously.

I cannot believe we are now living in a world where that sociopath has so many supporters! They're a cult, but he created it.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. They know their only hope, and they've used this time period, to program Trump AI

to do the call in shows, tweets, phone interviews. This way he only has to get through the speeches by teleprompter.

I'm not joking.

[onethatcares]

11. and that is believable

the networks show some orange guy that's got the posture down right and the rest is AI. Looks like Zappa was right.

[yonder]

85. +1. I was trying to remember this the other day, couldn't so looked it up. I think this is your Zappa reference, yes?

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

-FZ

He played all the notes. What a loss.

93. Frank

Frank has been my hero and inspiration for fifty three years.

Had he lived he would have changed the course of American political history. Not exaggerating, I really believe he could have!

-90% Jimmy

[Turbineguy]

10. Maybe he's figured out another scam to stay out of jail.

[ColinC]

12. 🤞

Unfortunately I imagine if he did it would be handled pretty quickly away from the public eye…

[brush]

13. Something's going on. The MFer has been in mental decline for a while now...

so it makes sense for his handlers to keep him at MAL playing golf and filling out his score card before he finishes the round...like the liar he is.

Wonder how they're going to hide it at the upcoming rethug convention?

[eppur_se_muova]

15. Hmmm ... if Trump decides to appear "remotely", we should assume it's prerecorded ... or tape-delayed at best.

Now that you've brought it up, I will not be remotely surprised if Trump *declines* to appear in person, maybe fabricating some excuse for a last-minute change of plans.

Watchdogs should keep an eye on him every day of the convention, or we won't know what really happens.

[brush]

28. I hadn't thought of him doing remote zoom appearanes.

But they just might do that as his mental state is not going to get better.

The rethug convention is later this month. And you know what, him speaking remotely will solve the problem of Melania not showing up.

[wnylib]

62. Trumps handlers are afraid to have him appear

in public because mental fitness of candidates is on everyone's mind. His mental decline and garbled language would be even more noticeable.

This is why Dems need to come out with ads NOW that show clips of Trump rambling at rallies and screwing up names and words.

[Wednesdays]

32. "Prerecorded ... or tape-delayed..." OR...AI-generated

As has been mentioned, above.

Watch for Max Headroom-type glitches in the video.

[gay texan]

68. "Ch-ch-ch-ch-child rapist"

[ColinC]

14. Or maybe....

Maybe he died?

[eppur_se_muova]

16. They're all feverishly re-watching "Weekend at Bernie's" ? nt

[Dulcinea]

21. Maybe he has Covid. nt

[vanlassie]

112. This is what I heard on Threads.

🤷🏻‍♀️

[Attilatheblond]

58. Could be he chained himself inside that Putin Jet in the picutures recently?

Russian flight crew still trying to get him off the jet.

[llmart]

75. Hey now.

Don't toy with me that way.

[bdamomma]

99. We all wish

nt

[EndlessWire]

17. Pure speculation

I think any pause in his activities would be because of the awful statement of Kevin Roberts, and Trump's need to distance himself from it. People will forget about it in less than two weeks. He might be just letting that get stale.

[C_U_L8R]

18. Shitzinpantz, nonstop.

It's his diaper with the massive break and boy what a stink.

[rubbersole]

60. And all the hoses at MAL don't have enough water pressure....

...you have to hose him down "10 - 15 times".

[Midnight Writer]

19. I figure his bone spurs are the only thing keeping him away from the action.

He's raring to fight, but his Doctor, Ronny Johnson, is holding him back.

[madamesilverspurs]

20. Or

as just posted elsewhere . .

[surfered]

23. That is hysterical. Thank you

[keithbvadu2]

33. Dotard, you're in the water. Shouldn't you be electrocuted by now?

[SunSeeker]

49. I can attest to the fact that driving an electric golf cart into a lake will not get you electrocuted.

A friend of ours did just that and all that happened is we all had a good laugh at his expense.

And the golf cart was fine too, it just needed to be cleaned of all the pond scum and duck shit stuck to it.

[et tu]

38. cf45 should jump! just saying nt

[bdamomma]

100. Yeah

let him test that theory!!!

[surfered]

22. RNC announces a strategy for drafting Putin or Orban at their convention

[homegirl]

24. THE GOP

just announced nation wide abortion ban is removed* from the 2024 platform.DISASTER for Devout Donald and the Evangelicals. Could it be that Donald and the GOP bosses have been arm wrestling for the last ten days?

*Leaving it to the states.

S.S. Trump,,,

[Lovie777]

44. Something that I do not believe...........

it's another lie.

[homegirl]

47. Who's

lying?

[dflprincess]

92. Just because it's not in the platform doesn't mean they wouldn't revive it later

Supposedly their platform also says they will protect Social Security and Medicare and there will be no raise is the retirement age.

Yeah, I believe that.

27. Answering for a friend... how could we tell. This is pure speculation.

[womanofthehills]

34. Riding around in a golf cart a few days ago

Has a rally tomorrow at his Golf Club. Maybe he’s picking his VP.

Looks like he’s still around- sorry!

[ancianita]

40. I know senile folks who get daily rides on golf carts.

He doesn't drive the golf cart, and won't pick his VP until he's told who to pick. Likely on a golf course, the furthest he can be away from mics and cameras. My money's on whoever his richest donor wants.

[bdamomma]

101. just a question

do dictators have VP's???

[BlueKota]

29. Someone told me he thinks he's being visited by

the ghost of President Nixon. Trump keeps boasting how much better he is at lying, and saying resigning is for loosers. Nixon apparently replied "at least I didn't shit my pants."

[niyad]

30. Many people are saying. . . .

[Buns_of_Fire]

35. Big, strong, manly-MAGATs (with tears in their eyes)... nt

[NNadir]

31. It's the best mental breakdown ever seen. People are saying that nobody can have a mental breakdown like Trump.

Very good people, the best people, have told him, "Sir, I've never seen a mental breakdown as great as this one..."

And so on...

[Hermit-The-Prog]

36. I've heard many people saying he's drooling and throwing shit. traitortrump should drop out.

[struggle4progress]

41. I heard he's just too busy grabbing pussies to appear in public

[The Conductor]

42. The Truth Antisocial...

I do hope it's nothing minor.

[allegorical oracle]

43. My $$ is on a "cosmetic refresher" that left bruising, which is taking longer than expected to fade.

[SunSeeker]

46. No, Trump is just playing golf, as usual, and gloating about the debate.

Last edited Mon Jul 8, 2024, 09:59 PM - Edit history (1)

Go to 2:52 in the video, where Trump brags that, "Yep, I got him [Biden] out of the race. And that means we have Kamala...":

He is such a scumbag.

[LeftInTX]

64. They need to show that to Adam Schiff. Finally he let the cat out of the bag.

His campaign is probably pissed..LOL

[duckworth969]

48. Building "suspense" for the convention

Will he show? Can’t keep him down and all that rot.

It’s made for tv, ripe for media attention behavior.

[liberalmediaaddict]

51. It's Trump's decision to stay out of the public eye

If he wanted to be out there holding rallies and giving interviews no handler could stop him.

My guess is Trump is mostly silent because we Democrats have been fighting one another since the debate. Plus he wants to run against Biden and doesn't think he can win against a younger Democrat.

Honestly Trump's probably kicking back and celebrating the fact that in the past week he's gotten everything he wanted and more.

He won the debate. Is now way up in the polls. The media is focused on Biden's age not his.

And the SCOTUS immunity ruling basically guarantees his various indictments will get dismissed or tied up in pretrial motions until infinity. His NY conviction will probably get overturned by SCOTUS because of their "official acts" ruling.

Trump is most manic and unhinged when he's under pressure and feels cornered. Right now he knows he's never going to prison and will likely be the most powerful person on the planet in 6 months. No surprise he's relaxing at home like Tony Montana.

[DFW]

66. That could be, but it would run contrary to his nature

If he's "relaxing at home," he's doing it because his campaign staff has handcuffed him to a bed in the basement. If so, they're smarter than he is.

He wants the TV cameras on him, and wants attention, attention, attention, and more attention. Typical for him would be for him to be out there in front of crowds of dozens (having camera angles showing him having more people than the Beatles at Shea Stadium), gloating at all the Fox stories having Biden in a worse mental state than he is. Trump hasn't been able to put together a sentence that is coherent or factual for years, and yet he gets the media to report that it's Joe Biden's mental faculties that are in decline. His nature is to go out and crow about it to the world. Trump's nature is to gloat about negative things happening to other people. For him to be silent for ten days means he is either really smart (not like him), or else really sick, a condition that has been waiting many years to happen. Maybe he doesn't remember how Nino Scalia met his end, but a great many Republican strategists do, and Scalia wasn't even 80 yet-just arrogant and someone who gave the impression of disdaining a healthy diet. Ask Melania if that description matches anyone she knows?

[liberalmediaaddict]

90. His main goal was to stay out of prison

That was his primary motivation for running for President again. And the SCOTUS decision has made sure he's got nothing to worry about.

Honestly I'm not sure Trump even really wants to be President again. He just saw the White House as his "get out of jail free" card. He never imagined all of criminal behavior as President would be given a green light by the highest court in America.

Not that he'd ever drop out of the race. But part of him probably dreads having to work an actual job again especially being POTUS. It's the most high pressure job there is and Trump is lazy AF.

[Ishoutandscream2]

96. Again, totally agree

NT

[Ishoutandscream2]

95. I know everyone is having a good time

And several of the responses have made me laugh. But I think what you just said is correct.

[Thedemby]

52. Focus on Biden

He's been laying low while the "media" trys to sabotage Biden. Trumpedo doesn't want to distract from the hit job they are doing. Well coordinated by the big money interests.

[GiqueCee]

53. A very real possibility...

... I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the cheese finally slid off his cracker all together.

[flamingdem]

54. His tweets look insane

I expect him to be rolling around on the floor with a smile like The Joker at this point.

[Pas-de-Calais]

55. Read somewhere

He just went off against the NYT.

[Rocknation]

56. I think he's just on hiatus from the unexpected downturn

57. His microwave was detected spying on him and so the po-po are onnit. nt

[quakerboy]

59. Why would another one of those cause that?

Dude is having an extended psychotic break for years, and noone bothered to keep him out of the public eye.

I tend to think it is something else. perhaps increasingly obvious incontinence, or something has gone wrong with his wig instalation

[Warpy]

61. cosmetic surgery, maybe. Worsening dementia, maybe

Psychotic break? Highly unlikely. Narcissistic collapse can happen but it's completely different, there is no break with reality. They often beg for help at that point but beware if you know one, they will turn on anyone who helps them out of collapse.

That might be why Melania is ciompletely absent and Ivanka went public last year about quitting the shit show.

Cosmetic lift, stretch and tighten seems more likely and it will be very visible at his age. He could look windswept.

His sundown syndrome might be worsening and unfortunately, the medications for early Alzheimer's (if that is his problem) don't work all that well, they seem to be hit or miss, Plus, there is no medication out there to cure assholes. They will always be assholes.

[Sibelius Fan]

65. Maybe the explosive diarrhea has reached the point of being uncontrollable.

[Justice matters.]

67. The smelly convicted felon with 50 indictments to land in court is afraid...

any "journalist" or reporter *would* ask him why he is on Eptein's list for "massages" by teen girls?

[ZonkerHarris]

70. Big strong men have come up to me with tears in their eyes because Trump's gone off the deep end

Sir they say to me, Donald is playing with his own feces and we don't know what to do.

[Joinfortmill]

71. We can only hope. It's something, that's for sure. Where's the mole when you need them?

[Dem4life1234]

72. I hope so

Things don't end well for these evil types.

He needs to go away.

[karin_sj]

74. A senior advisor who wanted to remain anonymous....

... said that he was having a major meltdown, was speaking even more gibberish than usual and throwing ketchup all over his golf cart!

[marble falls]

77. I've heard he's gone full stark raving Reagan. Thank goodness Milania is no Nancy Reagan ...

... I've been waiting for cokehead Donnie Jr to throw his hat in the ring.

[Farmer-Rick]

78. The drugs they gave him

To look normal during the debate have some serious side affects that can last over week. So, his courtiers and nurse maids are hiding him in that golf hotel Mara-go-loco.

[anglesphere]

79. We can always call

Mar-a-lago or Bedminster and ask for Trump. Just tell them it's Charlie Koch calling.

[calimary]

82. Umm... I'm hearing that, too.

Spread the word!!! It’ll help destabilize the enemy.

Whisper campaigns,
Questions and doubts that won’t stop popping up on the internet,
Rumor sharing,
Posting about it - FREQUENTLY,
Uncomfortable truths that just won’t go away,

DESTABILIZE THE ENEMY. They won’t be able to “work” fully or effectively if they’re always being forced to put out fires.

84. Epstein file drop

Time for an attack ad. Describe Jeff Epstein's crimes w pictures of him and the TurdSlinger. Play a clip of him denying being friends with Epstein then ask why did T45 call Mr Ep so many times. And emphasize JE died under mysterious circumstances while T45 was in office.
The TurdSlinger knows he is toast if we hit him GOP attack ad style. We still have to campaign against the entire GOP and all the damage they have wrought the last 43 years, since Bush did that treasonous deal w Iran.

[calimary]

89. You've got my interest, IbogaProject!

I’d actually like to see that.

We need to show no mercy. I like how you put it: “The TurdSlinger knows he is toast if we hit him GOP attack ad style.”

Now is NOT the time to go easy.

[JCMach1]

87. If by psychotic break you mean picking a psycho for VP...

I thinks he's going though that process and being his normal last a$$ self

[donheld]

88. How could they tell?

How is it different from the ones we've seen?

[Blue Full Moon]

94. Found this article

https://www.rawstory.com/evidence-of-trump-s-growing-dementia-is-increasing/

This maybe what is going on. After looking at transcripts of tfg word salads, there is no coherence in any of his statements. The media is not going after the incoherent nonsense that is coming out of his mouth. I read that he wrote the republican platform for the convention and that it is insane.

[Omnipresent]

102. During the debate when President Biden called convict a "Sucker and a Loser" for the disrespect he had shown for men...

And women in the military. Convict lied that he never said that.
It is funny to know that something said to him like that, is probably eating him up inside.

[Richard D]

104. Question . . .

. . . can a psychotic person have a psychotic break?

[IronLionZion]

105. The corporate media should ask for a friend

Unless their friends are paying them to ask about Biden instead

[twodogsbarking]

106. He has the same STD as Putin. Coincidence?

And he had a stroke.

[generalbetrayus]

107. A little birdie told me that his advisors are hiding him until they can talk him out of

[tazkcmo]

108. Lots of people are saying it's true.

A tremendous amount. Bigly amounts And very fine people. The fineliest people.

[SpankMe]

113. It's a fun idea, but...

I think The Orange Asshole ® is standing down as a strategic move. Repubs are letting the bad press and ongoing "analysis" in the MSM about Joe and his debate performance do their campaigning for them. It's just like we do when Repubs are having a bad run - we stand down and let the bad press do its thing for a while.

When the debate issues blow over, the Mango Madman will be back at the podium shoveling his shit.

[republianmushroom]
