Alert the media: The White House is lying about Trump's health

Donald Trump held a bonkers press conference last Friday during which he lied about his authoritarian occupation of Washington DC and fantasized about sending troops to occupy other cities with Black leaders.

Given the stakes, it might seem inappropriate to focus on attire. Trump, however, was noticeably casual for an Oval Office event. Unless he’s on the golf course, he typically wears a suit with an obligatory red tie. But last Friday, he didn’t bother with a tie, and he wore a baseball cap that boasted “Trump Was Right About Everything.”

Trump’s boundless egomania is not unusual, but the head covering did raise larger questions. He also made a determined effort to hide the back of his right hand from cameras. (Watch below.)

Trump wanted to hide his right hand for a reason. Pictures from Friday show it slathered with what seems like several coats of Sherwin-Williams.

Trump’s hand still looked rough during a press event on Monday where his hand was no longer coated with makeup, but visibly bruised.

Something clearly is up with the 79-year-old president, and the official explanations don’t make sense. That’s not surprising given that Trump is a world historical liar surrounded by toadies who surrendered their shame long ago. But it’s past time for reporters to ask some questions.

The mainstream press is still in self-flagellation mode over how they purportedly “ignored” former President Joe Biden’s decline. (In reality, they never stopped talking about.) But this soul-searching is apparently only backward looking and exclusive to Democratic presidents.

sometime in the last week or so, for a hot minute, there was press about donnie 'wanting to get into heaven.' Do you all remember that?

That comment really stood out to me regarding his health - it's like it was a moment of clarity - he knows he's in bad health and can see the finish line and is thinking about his own soul (such as it is).

So, I read the 'wanting to get into heaven' comment as - 'woah, this man knows he's really sick and doesnt have too much more time.'

must know, no matter how much he pretends otherwise, that he is an evil POS failure as a human being, must be a little bit worried about what awaits him in the next realm, if there is one.

Once again I point to the Upton Sinclair line:
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

The. Media. Won't. Say. Shit. For. Their. Own. Reasons.
