That was Aug 20th. He admitted he'd like to get there but he acknowledged he was low on that "totem pole"

“I want to end it (Ukraine War),” (Mr Trump) said. “I want to try and get to heaven if possible. I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”

that strange shit where he just started talking about getting into heaven. He said

“I wanna try and get to heaven if possible,. I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, [ending the Ukraine war] will be one of the reasons.”


This is some crazy shit. When has Trump EVER talked about heaven? When has Trump ever talked about the rewards of doing good acts? He has spent his whole life doing exactly the opposite, screwing everybody he could every chance he could get. And now , this?

This is a guy who has suddenly started to consider his mortality. Never mind the idea that if there is any justice in an afterlife, no just God would reward Trump for ending the war by giving everything to the biggest war criminal in 80 years.

It is obvious that Trump has been getting some kind of infusion or blood transfusion administered through the hand. People might think that is unlikely, but it isn't. All of my blood draws are through the hand and my last colonoscopy, the IV was in the hand. I have veins that are hard to find in the arms. It is also clear that this treatment started at least a month ago, when Trump tried to cover the hand with a lousy make-up job. (Why can't the freaking President hire a person who can apply make-up?)

So , what I would surmise from all of that is that either there is no therapy -- just blood transfusions, or else there was an attempt at therapy, but Trump received the news this week that the therapy is not working.

Here is an interesting article where MDs offer a variety of other possibilities, some less dire than my surmise.
https://www.medpagetoday.com/washington-watch/washington-watch/117177

The one paragraph that caught my eye was:
Congestive heart failure could explain the president's swollen ankles, he added, although it's less likely to explain his bruising, "unless it entails anticoagulation or other drugs." However, "he doesn't seem short of breath when he is confabulating."


The definition of confabulation is the unintentional creation or distortion of false memories, believed to be true by the confabulator. Yeah, that checks out.

First, love this post. I can see you've delved into the finer points of trump facing his own mortality.

I started contemplating my own mortality when I was about five years old. That pretty much makes me a pro in contemplating mortality and I can tell you right effing now, trump is a rank amateur. I laughed when he said this:
"I wanna try and get to heaven if possible."

Note the "if possible." He's talking to the Big Man in the Sky there.

He's been told something and it's not good.

It is hard to draw any other conclusion. When a guy has been one way his entire life, and then flips 180 degrees one day, this just doesn't happen. Trump has never shown the slightest bit of humility, ever. Something is up.

Looks frail - sure. But gingerly shuffling requires a series of photos or - better yet - a video because that is a description of movement not appearance.

(Yes, you can frame a photo which suggests movement of a certain type - but that is framing of a photo, not documentation of reality.)

where Trump seemed unable to walk in a straight line. As an isolated thing, that would mean nothing, and maybe is nothing. But coming at the same time as so many other strange activities, it adds to the speculation.

We can't tell if he was shuffling from that snapshot. But he looks like hell in that picture.

One of the key things detectives and prosecutors look for when trying to solve a crime, is did the suspect suddenly change habits? Did he/she do anything differently from what they "always" do.

Trump has looked like hell for many months, but he was always bellicose at every hour of the day, and never missed an opportunity to put somebody down or fluff himself up. And the only hat we have ever seen him wear is that ridiculous red cap.

This photo shows a man with slumped posture, seemingly drained of energy and wearing a dumpy grey hat we have never seen.

There are a whole bunch of things we have never seen from this guy, all coming at once.

When he does croak, there will obviously be a state funeral of some kind. Do you think the MAGATS will show up En Masse?

Or will they immediately move on?

I think the most Maggoty of MAGATS will put on displays of over emotion, bit thats about it. There will not be crowds choling the streets of DC.
