Well explained away, it's just a stammer. Geddit?🤣

President Donald Trump went on a reposting spree over the weekend on his Truth Social platform, endorsing a series of AI-generated QAnon conspiracy theory propaganda images — as well as a call to arrest former President Barack Obama for a military trial.

It began on Sunday morning, reported the Daily Beast, when Trump "retruthed" an image of himself standing next to Obama, with the caption, “All roads lead to Obama. Retruth if you want public military tribunals.”

QAnon is a Nazism-inspired conspiracy theory dating back to anonymous online message board posts from a person claiming to hold "Q" level security clearance, that alleges that public figures, usually Democrats like Obama and Hillary Clinton, are running a satanic child-trafficking cannibal ring with world-spanning power and influence over the U.S. government specifically.

Trump demands Obama arrest in frantic QAnon-fueled posting spree

Still, Mr Trump is not the only one losing his marbles, see below:

President Donald Trump’s ally, Elon Musk, endorsed a conspiracy theory about former-President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis in a post on X.

On Sunday night, right-wing podcast host Clint Russell took to X to accuse the Democrats of forging an “evil” plan to get Biden elected into office and strategically drop out because of his diagnosis, to pave the way for Kamala Harris to take the reins.

.Musk, who has become a recent figure of the past after he slipped away from his political duties with the Department of Government Efficiency, simply responded with a “bullseye” emoji in a dart board, appearing to pledge his support for the bizarre claim.

Your post aged well regarding Joe Biden! Even Sky News has revealed that Biden has prostate cancer that ha spread to his bones. King Charles has written to him expressing sympathy and wishing him a speedy recovery. It's not something you recover from. My neighbour's dad had the same and he was gone very quickly after it reached his bones.

You obviously are completely oblivious about the Lincoln Project and why it exists. And in the video, if you bothered to watch it, he did talk about Biden (forum rules; you are not supposed to use slur nicknames to describe people, otherwise we can say Donnie Mumble<deleted>).

 

https://lincolnproject.us/

 

Yeah, you are right. The Lincoln Project exists to attack Trumpism, but from the perspective of dissatisfied GOPers (I suppose in British terms, the Wets). Why do you expect it to criticise anyone but Trump. Otherwise, why aren't you here yelling about Vance not complaining about Trump, or why does Alex Jones never bitch about MAGA, or when is Bannon going to come out with nice things to say about Marx (not Groucho).

 

I'm sure you will find lots of examples, for a thread about Donald Trump, to attack Joe Biden and his mental acuity. This is a forum. You can start a topic on the subject, and surely fill you boots. Or you can continue to hijack and deflect, and avoid confronting a position.

 

 

 

Do you believe Trump is a well man? Yes or no.

For at least the last eight years, the left has been claiming Trump was in cognitive decline, and that his mental capacity was such that he was not suitable for office. Remember Trump taking, and passing the Montreal Cognitive Assessment? Of course, the left said he cheated and attacked the doctor that performed the test. You remember all that yes? 

 

Now over at least the last six years, left has been claiming that Biden was sharp as a tack, and suffered no cognitive decline, that he was perfectly suitable for office, and in fact, was perfect suitable to run for reelection. The left scoffed at anyone that said otherwise and covered for Biden when he refused to take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. 

 

The left has no credibility. Everyone knows the left will lie and say anything they think will help them maintain and or regain power. 

 

Fortunately, the left believes everyone is as stupid as the people that support them.

So after that copy pasting from Reddit etc, you believe that Trump is as Fit as a Fiddle. So nothing more needed from you on this subject, but you will shortly be opening a seperate discussion on the health of former President Biden? Correct?

 

Only America is curiously obsessed about publication of official Health Reports; in the rest of the world, when it comes to heads of government, its generally mind your own business and eff off. Even King Charlie; its no one's business but his own what cancer he has. I didn't even nee to know he had cancer. I certainly am not expecting a day by day blow of the PM's health (Johnson's attempt to generate public sympathy by staggering to the lecturn backfired in the end).

 

Its seems very Soviet like that anyone believes these official reports. For whatever President is in office, these reports are only produced for the benefit of America's enemies, and for that reason, the President must always be presented in the Best of Health, lest enemies exploit what they see as a weakness.

 

They say Ronnie Reagan never had Alzheimers when in office. Do you believe that? If the reports were actually true, it shows how insensitive Montreal or MiniMental tests are to the illness. My father was diagnosed with Alzheimers. To the outside world, he seemed normal. He still drove a car, didn't get lost. Flew through a MiniMental test, but brain scans showed the damage.

 

Reagan didn't benefit from scans; these didn't really exist then, and the cognitive tests back then were even cruder. We now know Alzheimer's starts in your 50s or even 40s. He had it, and there were enough signs at the time for commentators to note about his condition. But it was important for the White House to maintain a straight face.

 

Did the Whitehouse cover up for Reagan? Yes. Should they have covered up? Yes. Should people have stopped speculating about his health? No. Ultimately the voter can make their own mind up.

 

Did the Whitehouse cover up for Biden? Yes. Should they have covered up? Yes. Should people have stopped speculating about his health? No

 

Is the Whitehouse covering up for Trump? Should they cover up? Here I hesitate. With previous presidencies, you had adults in the room. The world kept turning while a AD addled Reagan or cognititively impaired (though I still think an element of that was due to a combination of undiagnosed UTIs and Prosate Cancer, but that's academic now) Biden. But the cabinet now is full of literal idiots, and this government is very personality, twitter driven, with the court Jester changing almost daily. There are no adults in the room to keep the world turning. Decisions are not being taken away from Trump and managed, they are coming from Trump himself.  Should people have stop speculating about his health? No, no more than your suggestion that people should have stopped speculating about Biden.

 

Official medical reports, irrespective of Party, are pure propaganda. They are not produced to divulge the intimate secrets of a man, but to make you feel good, and to make your enemies feel fearful.

 

Trump's recent behaviour is unhinged, but maybe that's just him, according to his niece, who knows him better than most, that he is basically an unhinged man. Biden as elected as an old man. Its not his fault age caught up with him. Trump is also someone who has similarly outlasted his biblical age and is on borrow time, according to Our Lord. Biden shouldn't have ran as President in 2020. Old Man Trump shouldn't either. Both leave office with dementia. This difference is Trump's dementia has more of an impact on your life. Has no direct impact on my life. I'm not the one who needs US social security, veteran benefits or whatever.

 

You lot should have selected a younger candidate when they had the chance, but your party went both racist and mysogenistic and rejected someone because she was of Indian origin and a woman. Would have been better than this faeces show. If you felt that Biden was a weak candidate, she would have easily won.

My opinion of him has changed a bit but certainly not because of the constant retarded attacks on him here.  I voted for him because the DEM party positions on too many issues is way out there and destructive to the future of the US and world.  And because they ran a complete idiot DEI candidate.

 

Trump I have been wary of both times he was elected.  Recently I am somewhat concerned by his scattershot announcements.  Maybe there is method to the madness but if so it's above my pay grade and intellect.  Still, DEMs/Kamala or Trump?  I'd still have to vote Trump.

 

It would be nice if both parties actually presented really good stable candidates and ran on fixing the national spending/debt problem long term as a priority instead of pandering to fringe groups.  But at my age I now just hold out hope that the world economy stays stable until I'm gone.

I read a news article two days ago predicting that 'leftists' (authoritarians) were going to attack Trump's mental acuity as a distraction from Biden's unforgivable situation. I don't like Trump's rambling manner of speaking  but don't see that as evidence of mental decline. I don't see his gathering of supporters around himself (unlike in his first term) as evidence of appointing sycophants. There is no medical evidence that he has anything approaching the problems of Biden, and contrary to what the Op wrote, he has taken medical tests regularly.

Feckless, desperate, useless democrat muppets all trying to make everyone believe Trump is a simpleton like Biden....too funny and it will be a huge waste of time which loser liberals like to run with. Watch the "empty space" between ears of all biden luvin fruitcake muppets. They are everywhere here.

Any sentient being would be apalled at the dishonest left who for years censored mention of Biden's obvious decline even blaming his stammer for his being too delally to walk or talk suddenly diagnosing Trump as demented. This is the same Trump that riffs unscripted on stage with the fluidity of Hendrix for hours on end.

Im getting tired of this dishonest debate from the usual quarter.

As I wrote already, this is not new:

 

For example:

- In a July 4, 2019, speech, Trump said that during the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Army "took over the airports" from the British.[18]

- Trump appeared unsteady while walking down a ramp at the United States Air Force Academy in 2020. - He also had difficulty raising a glass of water to his mouth. These episodes raised questions about his health.[19]

- In another incident in October 2023, Trump referred to Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán as "the leader of Turkey", and said that Orbán shares a border with Russia, which neither Turkey nor Hungary does.[20]

- During the course of the 2024 primary campaign, Trump's mistakes included confusing Nikki Haley for Nancy Pelosi, claiming he was running against Barack Obama, and fearing the nation may enter World War II.[21]

- In June 2024, while praising his own performance on a cognitive test administered in 2018, Trump "confused the name of his former White House physician" who had administered the test.[22]

- Also in June 2024, Trump said that his longtime acquaintance Joan Rivers had told him that she had voted for him in the 2016 election, although Rivers had died in September 2014.[23]

In September 2024, Trump said the audience "went crazy" for him at the presidential debate the preceding week, although the debate had no audience.[24][10]
