Trump Appears To Suffer From A Stroke During 9/11 Memorial

There is something odd about many of the words I hear from Trump during his oval office speech.


Trump Appears To Suffer From A Stroke During 9/11 Memorial

Sep 11, 2025
During a 9/11 memorial event on Thursday morning, Donald Trump could be seen with the side of his mouth drooping down in a completely unnatural way that is frequently seen when people are having a stroke. He was shaking his head around, too, also in an unnatural way. He has exhibited multiple symptoms that are common in people suffering from mini strokes this week, like the bizarre way that he's been speaking in all of his public appearances this week. Farron Cousins explains what happened.

37. Time to send him some more

hamberders & covfefe

[Cirsium]

48. No, no, no

We shouldn't celebrate. We need to take the high ground or else we become just like them. We may disagree with the man, but he is a human being. He has a wife and children. We need to tone down the rhetoric.

[Blues Heron]

2. A big rail of Jr's cocaine should revive him but quick, call dr Ronny, STAT!

[C_U_L8R]

3. Might be Bell's Palsy or a stroke or...

No matter what, Trump's clock is running out.

[riversedge]

8. I had dismissed it--maybe until a week or so ago. Something is off with him lately.

[USS_Dauntless]

46. What is he gonna look like this time next year?

If he does croak, how long will they "Weekend at Bernie's" him?

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Bell's Palsy is the pinching of a facial nerve

usually caused by exposure to extreme cold. It's temporary and can be treated simply by exposure to warmth.

If anything, this could be a TIA: Transient Ischemic Attack, or "mini stroke" in simplified terms. My mom once had one it's cauaed by narrowing of the carotid artery, which can be treated with medication that dissolves the blocking material, or by what I thought of as "Roro Rooter" surgery.

One thing we know for sure: If it comes up, he White House will say, "The president is in excellent health."

[H2O Man]

12. It can also be

caused by lyme disease.

[SheltieLover]

36. For sure!

[colorado_ufo]

58. He could have gotten it from his frequent hikes in the woods . . .

[livetohike]

64. Thanks for the laugh! n/t

[DET]

19. Carotid Artery

I would have thought that he would have been checked for that. Even I’ve had that test and I’m nothing special.

[MLWR]

53. I thought someone said he was already on blood-thinners????

[Hornedfrog2000]

16. TIA

He has been having these since covid

[Oeditpus Rex]

38. How do you know?

Nothing is ever reported except "The President is in excellent health."

[Lovie777]

4. Something is serious wrong......

where is RFK jr.

[IzzaNuDay]

5. Perhaps RFKJr can give Cheeto a brain worm transplant!

One can hope!

[hatrack]

6. Ooo! Eee! Ooo-ah-ah! Ting tang walla-walla bing-bang!!

Did somebody say RFK Jr.?

[thought crime]

40. Tell the Witch Doctor!

[Blue Owl]

7. Droopy Donny Poopy Pants

Oh but what's-his-name from the NYT says he is in perfect health!!!

[Turbineguy]

9. That's his

"pretend you're at a somber occasion" look.

[thought crime]

41. And pretend you're awake.

[tanyev]

10. Melania doesn't seem to be concerned.

[progressoid]

22. How can you tell? She always looks like that.

.webp

[llmart]

65. Always with the sun glasses.

She thinks she's something. I'd be embarrassed to be married to something like that. You just know she really wanted Trudeau.

[Exp]

13. Bit of a twinge on the 46 sec mark then right side of his face droops considerably... nt

[pandr32]

14. He is struggling to stay awake.

When a person falls asleep their muscles often let go--their mouths fall open. His mouth is opening more on one side. We are so used to Mr. tRump posing a look (tough guy) that when we see him let his guard down we think something's up. He is bored beyond belief. He has to be there, though. He can barely remain awake. He is a disgrace.
He could be suffering a mini stroke, but really--how can you be sure?

[thought crime]

43. Probably had a bad night.

Doped up.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. What's going on with Trump's face?

Link to tweet

[Botany]

30. The man has shown symptoms of cardiovascular disease for some time now.

Watch for foaming @ the mouth PDQ.

And he had some kind of event during his 1st term too. He went to Walter Reed (?) on
a Sunday for his check up… or that was the story.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

34. Damn! The man looks terrible and OLD.

[tblue37]

61. Jake Tapper will get right on that.

[thought crime]

44. Those are the clearest pictures - thanks.

[Vestigial_Sister]

73. Forget the stroke...

He should be more concerned with the vulva growing under his chin.

[jmowreader]

17. I had another thought

Is it possible they pumped him full of Thorazine or another serious tranquilizer to keep him from embarrassing the country, and this is just one of the side effects? Watch his head: it's flopping around so much they need to get him a HANS Device to keep him from having it break off.

[mackdaddy]

18. If someone close to you has one side of their face droop like this, get them medical attention immediately.

His cheek on that side is also caved in. There is something wrong there. And he was making some weird head movements and looked like he was about to fall asleep.


Another odd "conspiracy theory" thing is the Trump video statement on Kirk last night shows evidence of being AI generated. Some weird video jitters of his hands and odd lighting etc. Supposedly someone fed the video into AI and that determined it was AI generated for whatever that is worth.

At a minimum, his face did not show this extreme drooping from this morning, just hours later.

[electric_blue68]

33. Well, that's pretty startling, and I wondered about his cheek, too. (caved in)

[mackdaddy]

35. Face drooping is first on the FAST stroke checklist.

https://www.uofmhealth.org/conditions-treatments/brain-neurological-conditions/stroke-warning-signs

Stroke Warning Signs
F.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember the sudden signs of a stroke.
F = Face Drooping

Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.
A = Arm Weakness

Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S = Speech Difficulty

Is the speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like "the sky is blue." Is the sentence repeated correctly?
T = Time to Call 9-1-1

If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately.
Other Signs

Abrupt onset of:

Difficulty with speech
One side of the face drooping or feeling numb
Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
Unexplained clumsiness or falling
Sudden severe headache
Blurred or double vision

If you or someone you know is experiencing these signs, call 911 or have someone get you to the nearest emergency room immediately.

[doc03]

20. Symtoms of a stoke

F. Face drooping
A weakness in arms
S slurred speech
T time to call 911

I am not a doctor.

[marble falls]

26. Or in TACO's case, time to call Grub Hub for a bag of hamberders and a Diet Coke.

[QueerDuck]

21. Strokey-McPedo

[ananda]

23. Maybe the Botox is wearing off.

...

[TommieMommy]

24. He don't look well. Could be a stroke.

[thomski64]

29. I hope he doesn't die

before I can re-stock my liquor cabinet;
after all that open carry on campus incident in Utah yesterday...

[marble falls]

25. It's very hard to not say what I want to say. But I don't want to sound like them. BUT ..........

[RockRaven]

27. One comment I saw: "He's flying his face at half mast in honor of Charlie"

[JI7]

28. I don't know if it's a stroke but I also noticed that about his face

I avoid looking at him so I don't know if this is recent. It could just be usual aging issues.

parts of his face also looked like it had discoloration like we have seen on his hands.

[Queso Delicioso]

31. Trump smells toast; Charlie IS toast.

It's been a fun couple of days!

[Traildogbob]

32. I should not laugh

But…😬……that’s not a real laugh. But…….

[twodogsbarking]

39. Melaaaaaaniaaaaah looks like she had something to do with it.

[Attilatheblond]

69. Was that her body double again?

He looked liked a bored, pouting toddler having to behave and pissed what was going on wasn't about him. And maybe annoyed 'the wife' didn't come and sent the double?

[Oliver Bolliver Butt]

42. Having experienced with loved ones, I would not wish a stroke on my worst enemy.

[FadedMullet]

55. I had a stroke and I agree with you completely. Put Trump down for a massive, fatal, cardiac infarction and.....

.......use that phrase to confuse his MAFA followers.

[ToxMarz]

45. Maybe Pooty-poot hit him up with some Novichok

[thought crime]

47. Advanced case of O.L.D.

[Hekate]

49. This looks really bad

I have a sleep disorder, and have been known to nod off inappropriately. (Yes, it is embarrassing, but at least it never happens when I’m actively engaged in conversing with someone or conducting a meeting)

But I have never felt my facial muscles do that, and I cannot deliberately adopt that expression, either.

This man needed to be hauled off to the hospital.

I read that Shady JD canceled his attendance at the 9-11 memorial event in NYC. Maybe this is why.

[Trueblue Texan]

50. Ok, I've heard the stroke hype before re TSF and I was never convinced that's what we were seeing.

This time, we may be actually seeing a stroke. We know he has heart issues and I suspect he has heart AND kidney issues. A stroke wouldn't be unusual with those other co-morbidities. I don't think anyone in the administration will tell us about it until it becomes impossible to manage. If this is a stroke and he doesn't get treatment right away, he will likely have more strokes. So, if he disappears again, he is likely getting treatment. If not, and this was an actual stroke, expect more and bigger ones to come. BTW, I've never seen a mini-stroke cause paralysis like what seems to be going on with him. Most mini strokes that I've seen don't leave any immediate symptoms that are outwardly observable. But it's not unusual for strokes to take days to play out. If this is a stroke, he is in danger.

[ancianita]

51. I said it before and will say it again: his man has less than a year, whether in life or in office.

[WestMichRad]

52. Tough it out, Donny!

Don’t get medical help, it’ll be a sign of weakness.

[AverageOldGuy]

54. He was falling asleep

Look at the full one-hour-plus video. After this episode, he got up, walked to the podium, made a speech.

He was falling asleep.

https://www.c-span.org/program/white-house-event/9-11-commemoration-ceremony-held-at-pentagon/665324

This is what I cannot tolerate about these clowns living in their mothers' basements, straggly beard, dirty T-shirt, latching onto a few seconds without looking at the whole thing then posting a video with SHOUTING, ALARMING HEADLINES!!! Makes the rest of us look as stupid as they are.

Take down this comment.

[AKwannabe]

56. Stroke stroke stroke out fucker!

I have compassion for anyone but him.

[Jim__]

57. You can see the concern on Melania's face.

[Mosby]

59. Later at the Yankees game

[llmart]

66. Always has to make everything about himself.

Just him being at a game is why they won.

Can't stand the fact that they are just yukking it up with that asshole. The one guy didn't look too anxious to shake his hand though.

[MaineNative]

60. TIA Experience

I had one in April 2024. I collapsed in the kitchen when a blood clot cut off flow to a certain part of my brain on the left side. My right leg collapsed and I lost control of everything else. I hit the floor hard and had no idea about anything. It was a mini trip to the cosmos. Fast forward to today; I have lingering cognitive issues, and they’ve caused me to reevaluate my life. I work in the highly technical field of aviation maintenance & manufacturing (47 years) and just can’t handle it anymore. The pressure is just too much at my level. Being prez would end me. I don’t think he’s long for terra firma.

[Bluetus]

62. Remember he disappeared for 6 days last week.

The only other time he has ever shut his pie-hole that long was when he went to Walter Reed with a severe case of COVID.

Something happened last week. A stroke seems very likely, but this could be Bell's Palsy or something like that.

[QueerDuck]

63. I've got a joy joy joy joy down in my heart (where?)

... Down in my heart! Down in my heart!

[BigmanPigman]

67. The bruise on his hand is still

there and he always covers the bruise with his other hand while speaking from his desk and he still has make up on it, too.

[allegorical oracle]

68. The SOB never sleeps. We'd all look like him if we never slept.

[Rebl2]

70. I witnessed

My father having a TIA or mini stroke. His mouth drooped on one side, garbled speech. By the time we got him to the hospital all symptoms had resolved. No drooping of his mouth or garbled, slurred speech. A few years later he did have a major stroke and passed away. I do believe if these are real photos of trump, he is having a mini stroke.

[usonian]

71. I am not a physician. Just a physicist, and that's a stroke. No uncertainty.

Only other possible disease is Epstein-Barr syndrome.



Otherwise known as KARMA.

[QueerDuck]

74. Ha!

[Delmette2.0]

72. Just like my grandmother.

Half of the mouth drooping and his posture seems to have changed a bit.

And no one noticed! Not one person cared to get the emergency care needed? He won't recover physically from this.
