"The President plans to make a special announcement today at 2pm. So it may well be that Dr. Barbabella is right, that he 'remain[s] in excellent health.' It may well be that this whole thing was a charade, designed to distract us from the Epstein imbroglio; the survivors are coming to Congress when it re-opens tomorrow, after all, and there’s no way POTUS can put a positive spin on what they are about to say."

Dying Words

Is the President really on death's door? If so, why isn't the White House being honest about it? *Should* they be honest about it? And: what happens if he dies?

^{Greg Olear (PREVAIL by Greg Olear)}

"It may well be that he really was just golfing, and this death watch is much ado about nothing.

But we would be wise to carefully consider all of this. Actuarial tables are actuarial tables, and facts are facts."

"The President is almost 80 years old, he’s morbidly obese, his diet is shit, his ankles are swollen, his hand is bruised, he’s under enormous strain because of the Epstein stuff and the Gavin Newsom trolling and the pressure of the job, he stinks to high heaven because he can’t control his bowels, he almost died of covid, and he’s showing signs of dementia."

"Even if he shows up at the presser today in tip-top shape, odds are, we’re going to have President Vance at some point before January 20, 2029."

Allison Gill wrote already on 31 August,

"Trump hasn’t answered questions or spoken publicly since last Tuesday. There’s clearly something wrong with his gait, his health, his hands, and his heart - and since corporate media refuses to call for his resignation as they called for Biden’s in 2024, I will. Trump must resign the presidency effective immediately."

Trump Must Resign Now

Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will.

^{Allison Gill (The Breakdown)}

"He is clearly and overtly incapable of meeting the demands of the office of the president, putting the American people and the free world at great risk."

"I do not think the president is dead. He is scheduled to make an Oval Office appearance at 2pm today. However, this kind of disappearing act is cause for concern. The president is accountable to the American people. This administration has been among the least transparent in modern history."

Where Is Donald Trump?

The president has been out of the public eye for days, and speculation is running wild. We're owed an honest explanation.

^{Jill Filipovic}

"And the press seems to have decided that Trump’s physical and cognitive health aren’t of significant concern, or perhaps that those are old stories no one cares about anymore.

It’s a failure all around. And indicative of all the ways in which this president has repeatedly hidden the truth, intimidated journalists, gutted public trust, and created a culture of impunity in the Republican Party."

"Trump scheduled 'an announcement' in the Oval Office for Tuesday afternoon at 2PM ET, exactly a week after the Cabinet meeting.

Knowing this regime, my only prediction is that we will be presented with far more theater than truth."
