According to Aaron Rupar, "Donald Trump was supposed to make remarks from the Oval Office 90 minutes ago.

It still hasn't happened, and there's no sign it's happening soon. C-SPAN dropped the event from their schedule. Is it canceled? Is the president running late? Who knows!"

Edited to add that now the WH Press Pool is being loaded up for "destination unknown" also according to Rupar. What's going on?

but he's been showing up in public with those a lot recently so it can't be that.

Right so it cannot be that.

Maybe they had to double his meds to get him out in front of the TV
without looking like more of a blithering idiot than usual

started having bruises. I don’t think he can hold his hands over his head for long stretches of time anymore, and he famously does not like to let other people do his hair because he thinks only he can get it right. It’s why we’ve had the dunce-cap indoors and at night so much recently.

I cannot imagine a qualified stylist doing his hair so badly and slathering on
all the orange paint on his face.

Yes he is obviously ill now and can no longer do his hair or make up very well.
He looks worse by the day.

Hey! I can wish a person dead and read his obituary with great satisfaction. The one does not have to preclude the other.

on the blowing up of the boat in the Caribbean early this week, after he canceled the session on Friday? Have I missed the demand for explanation of the authority he was operating? If he shows up for the press conference maybe he can explain to us.

Wouldn’t get in a motorcade for destination unknown. Maybe they plan to detain some of them.

While Russia was in Polish airspace and Poland / NATO were scrambling a response, he was enjoying a nice seafood dinner.
