Either extremely ill or plotting a war.
BULLETIN:
As posted below Post #30, WH schedule says Trump left for the golf course at 9:27 AM. Note the time stamp on this Trump post from today. Weird shit going on and lots of lying.

(131,216 posts)or appearances at events. It would be like him to ignore Labor Day, considering that he thinks workers get too many days off. But it's not him to be completely AWOL on a federal holiday, even if it's just to do something obnoxious.

(12,506 posts)Unfortunately that will mean he will be bouncing back though.
From the last time he went missing.....
WASHINGTON In the 56 hours and counting since the federal government has been shut down, President Trump hasnt held a public event and isnt scheduled to have one today. He hasnt spoken with reporters or even left the White House. And he hasnt been a real player in the negotiations to reopen the government.
Bottom line: Trump, who campaigned for the presidency on his deal-making skills, has been missing in action.
Yes, hes tweeted during the shutdown. This is the One Year Anniversary of my Presidency and the Democrats wanted to give me a nice present. #DemocratShutdown, he said on Saturday morning. Democrats are far more concerned with Illegal Immigrants than they are with our great Military or Safety at our dangerous Southern Border, he added. (But hes also been watching TV, it seems. Thank you to Brad Blakeman on @FoxNews for grading year one of my presidency with an A-and likewise to Doug Schoen for the very good grade and statements. Working hard! he tweeted last night.)

Then a MAGAt infestation is feeding on his rotting corpse, rage fighting for a bite of their Gawd, while he is still barely alive and feeling each bite. The entire cabinet frothing at the mouth fighting for each ones share. JFK Jr wants the head to strap on his car roof, with it still ranting about the Stallen 2020 election. All that shit on his head falls off like a Royal Paulonias (Paulina tomentosa) leaves in fall, over night all on the ground. PPV on Comedy Central, narrated by Cobert, Kimmel, Myers, Stewart and the South Park Characters.

Whether this is only temporary or not remains to be seen, unfortunately. If only there was some way to convince the grim reaper to come and collect him once and for all. *SIGH*

(6,439 posts)Behind the scenes he needs a walker (or even a wheelchair for longer walks) and they can't figure out how to address this. And Trump is too vain to let people see him using a walker or a wheelchair.

(662 posts)I swear, the next ten presidents better not play golf. Play pickleball if you have to. Just not golf.
JustABozoOnThisBus
(24,726 posts)The last 10 (or more) presidents played golf. BHO played a lot of golf, maybe half as many times as Trump.
swong19104
(662 posts)Eisenhower: definitely.
JFK: dont recall seeing photos of him playing golf
LBJ: maybe
RMN: preferred bowling
GRF: I guess he golfed
JEC: didnt golf, AFAIK
RWR: too old to golf
GHWB: dont recall him golfing
WJC: golfed
GWB: DEFINITELY GOLFED Watch this drive
BHO: golfed
45: golfers even more often than GWB
JRB: never golfed
47: now, twice on Sundays!
JustABozoOnThisBus
(24,726 posts)... LBJ used golf courses as an arena for arm-twisting. The game might have contributed to passage of civil rights and health care legislation.
GRF played. Playing with GRF was like hunting with Dick Cheney. His ball went oft astray.
The Madcap
(2,031 posts)If they walk the course...
No, I think it's good for a President to have some time to relax, as the job is extremely stressful. Having said that, though, golfing during a crisis moment like T**** has is not a good look. It's not the right time to be unavailable.

(27,764 posts)President Trump Played Golf With 3 NFL Legends. He Allegedly Cheated
In fact, during a round of golf with three NFL legends - Jon Gruden, Ron Jaworski and announcer Mike Tirico - Trump was accused of cheating.
Also was wearing a gray cap getting into limo at WH to go to golf course, but a white one in the picture in the golf cart.

They just posted this for him on TruthSocial
Look at this dog. his name is Chip. Incredible animal. Smart, loyal, doesn't take crap from anyone. Some people are saying he's Al... I don't know, maybe he is, maybe he isn't but he's a LOT smarter than most of the people running our country right now, that I can tell you.
He sits, he stays, he protects. Beautiful coat. The fake news is already terrified.

(3,124 posts)If he vacates the presidency now, we could still see a consistency in authoritarian policy -and likely even a normalization of it from both parties in the guise of national unity around a tragedy -like how our enabling act (AKA "the patriot act" ) came around. If he vacates the presidency after a massive takeover of congress in 2027, however? As a result of unprecedented discontent and emergence of an increasingly recalcetrant population? JD Vance would be sworn in and the majority in control of the senate and house at the time will ultimately determine our vice president. Still dreaming.
