(39,737 posts)They'll keep him alive on machines, that's my guess. Not that I'm rooting for him to survive. Oh hell no.
But if he's on autopilot in the hospital, it gives Vance and the cabinet cover to invoke Article 25 and vote him out. I don't believe they would ever do that unless they knew he's a goner anyway.
I mean ... he's already given them so many reasons to Article 25 him, and there's been no attempt that we know of.
I'm thinking this will happen early next year ... after the holidays. Isn't he scheduled for hip replacement surgery?

(39,737 posts)I can't tell because they don't really show her face. But this woman appears to be supporting and guiding Chump because he seems to be drifting away from the helicopter.... Also his balance seems kind of hinky, like he might stumble if he's not leaning onto her.

I think Malignia had to make sure he got on Marine One instead of wandering around the WH grounds.

President Trump has always used his stamina and energy as a political strength. But that image is getting harder for him to sustain.

Still, nearly a year into his second term, Americans see Mr. Trump less than they used to, according to a New York Times analysis of his schedule. Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, in 2017, although he is taking more foreign trips.
He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average.....
Mr. Trump has prompted additional questions about his health by sharing news about medical procedures he has had, but not details about them. While in Asia, Mr. Trump revealed that he had undergone magnetic resonance imaging at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in early October......
Mr. Trump also applies makeup to a bruise on the back of his right hand, adding speculation about a medical condition that his physician and aides say is caused by taking aspirin and shaking so many hands. In September, the bruising on his hand, coupled with swollen ankles, caused observers on the internet to speculate wildly about his health......
For years, concerns and questions about Mr. Trumps health have often been met with obfuscation or minimal explanation from the people around him. Mr. Trumps physicians have not taken questions from reporters in years, including when he was seriously ill with Covid in 2020. There were no medical briefings held after an assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pa., last summer.
Many of the facts that concerned critics about Mr. Trumps physical health during his first term are present now. He does not get regular exercise, in part because he has a long-held theory that people are born with a finite amount of energy and that vigorous activity can deplete that reserve, like a battery. He enjoys red meat and is known to eat McDonalds by the sackful....
Still, in his second term, Mr. Trumps schedule shows some significant changes.
According to a Times analysis of the official presidential schedules in a database maintained by Roll Call, Mr. Trumps first official event starts later in the day. In 2017, the first year of his first term, Mr. Trumps scheduled events started at 10:31 a.m. on average. By contrast, Mr. Trump in his second term has started scheduled events in the afternoon on average, at 12:08 p.m. His events end on average at around the same time as they did during the first year of his first term, shortly after 5 p.m.
The number of Mr. Trumps total official appearances has decreased by 39 percent. In 2017, Mr. Trump held 1,688 official events between Jan. 20 and Nov. 25 of that year. For that same time period this year, Mr. Trump has appeared in 1,029 official events.
trump is not in good health and trump is showing signs of senility or mental decline. I can see why this article pissed off trump.
