Trump -- approaching 80th birthday -- vanishes from public for 8 days after hospital visit

President Donald Trump has not appeared at a single public event in eight days — and the White House isn't saying when that will change.

Trump's last confirmed live public appearance was May 27, when he presided over a Cabinet meeting at the White House. Since then, his schedule has been a wall of closed-press policy meetings, Executive Time, and private dinners. The only glimpse of the president came via a pre-taped Fox News interview with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump — not a public event.

The silence is conspicuous for a man who built his brand on dominating the news cycle. Even as he's gone dark publicly, Trump's Truth Social account has been anything but quiet — his team has posted more than 122 times in the last 48 hours alone.

1. Somewhere Over the Rainbow!

[Grim Chieftain]

4. Or in the bowels of hell

[Vogon_Glory]

5. If that should be the case, how long would it before Melania stops wearing mourning clothes?

Will it be before or after most of the country starts wearing bright, cheerful colors?

Just asking…

[Grim Chieftain]

7. Melania will probably drag out her

"I really don't care, do you?" jacket. Seems appropriate.

[3Hotdogs]

25. "She has the glow of an expectant widow."

[Dr. T]

29. Kimmel got into some good trouble

for saying that.
🤣

[artemisia1]

61. As long as Erica Kirk did... /nt

[paleotn]

36. He isn't getting no rainbows. He's getting the John Constantine treatment.

The one soul Satan himself would come up here to collect.

Satan - "Sonny, I've got a whole theme park of red delights for you!"

[The Roux Comes First]

46. We're the Recipients of the Rainbow! Try to Keep Up Here

[paleotn]

67. Youbetcha!!

[Goonch]

2. ;-{) WHOOPS!

[Turbineguy]

3. Each day they stay in power is a small victory for them.

and a loss for the rest of the World.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. It's all a stunt

unless it's a stent.

[Boomerproud]

8. He may "vanish" so why is he always the 5 top new stories?

He got more press in the 4 years as ex than Biden.

[LisaL]

9. It's his special talent.

He knows how to attract attention.

[PatSeg]

20. And after all these years,

the media keeps falling for it over and over again, even though they know he is just a showboater and bullshitter. This has been going on for decades.

[ananda]

28. The media has been compromised for over 20 years.

...

[PatSeg]

33. Yes and probably longer

I think it especially goes back to the 1990s when Fox News was launched. The news became sensational reality TV.

[ananda]

35. And during the Clinton years, we lost fairness in media.

That's why I boycott all MSM.

[PatSeg]

41. Yes over the years,

the right has chipped away at all the things that made us the world's preeminent "essential democracy". Countries often patterned themselves after the U.S. when setting up their new democracies.

[Dave Id]

49. When there's an offensive oder in the air

people naturally want to know where the stink is coming from.

[malaise]

10. Is he dead

Or dying?

[ShazzieB]

22. It does make you wonder, doesn't it?

It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out he's deathly ill, which wiil of course be kept secret from the American people for as long as possible. Maybe the narcissistic injury of all those musicians canceling on him was just too much!

[malaise]

32. We can hope

Rec

[republianmushroom]

26. Hopefully dying, and soon to be dead.

[joshdawg]

43. I have high hopes!

[Tim S]

11. Maybe all that posting he's been doing is really Artificial Ignorance?

[Initech]

12. He hasn't exactly "vanished".

He’s been shit posting AI slop garbage about how great he is on his shithole social media site 24/7 for the last week and it’s getting disturbing.

[hamsterjill]

18. But how do we know it's really him?

Serious question. Not trying to bust your chops. I'm sure Stephen Miller has mastered the art of posting incognito.

[Initech]

48. Yeah that is true. There's something they are not telling us.

Time to find out what.

[Jilly_in_VA]

19. But anybody can do that

Even the dumbest fool on his team, even Temu Hitler (aka Miller), and claim it's him. How would we know? The internet is anonymous.

[Wiz Imp]

45. Yep. Anything posted between the hours of 7 AM & midnight are almost certainly not him.

He only posts in the middle of the night. And even some of those could be posted by others - likely Natalie Harpp or Dan Scavino.

[Bluetus]

37. He has a young woman attending him overnight assisting with the shitposting

If he was dead or incapacitated, the shitposting could continue indefinitely. She has his "voice" down. The only way you can tell it is not him is that there are fewer typos.

[Initech]

40. At this point, if he was dead or incapacitated...

I feel like AI will take over and make it seem like he is still alive. That's a scary thought.

[hamsterjill]

50. I agree.

And yes, it is VERY scary. Especially because you know there will be in-fighting amongst the thieves.

[Wednesdays]

64. It will be sort of like the movie "Dave"

Except that The Felon's double would be AI-generated and not nearly as altruistic. And the Vice-President is no "boy scout."

[Bluetus]

56. I agree, but Trump is such a simpleton, it doesn't take any sophisticated AI

to keep cranking out his shitposts. By now, I bet most people here could very ably produce very authentic-sounding "Trump" shitposts.

[wnylib]

53. His team posts for him. You can tell the difference

between his own posts and the team's posts. The team uses words that Trump never heard of. Trump uses simple, grade school language.

[usonian]

13. He's looking for those "Epstein Files"

And the dumpster lid closed on him.,





ETA:

Actual TV ad, not AI

[littlemissmartypants]

14. He's getting a mini face-lift for his birthday.

[mwmisses4289]

15. Interesting that some of the media is catching onto

the notion that many of ts postings are by his "team" and not necessarily by him. Might be amusing to guess which of his team is posting which peice of nonsense.

[calimary]

17. AND why it's not him.

At least we THINK it’s his team and not him.

It just occurred to me: what if THAT is the whole point? Just generating confusion. It’s a most intriguing way to cloud (AND goop up AND shit upon) any efforts to get to the whole truth.

Create just a whole lot of rabbit holes.

That’s one way to confuse, perplex, and divide the enemy. MANY rabbit holes mean many more chances that one or more of his opponents will fall into one.

[wnylib]

54. Another question comes up then.

If the team is posting for him during the night, then why is HE sleeping during the day?

[Rob H.]

16. Only 8 days? He's gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket

His team doing the posts on Truth Central would explain why there have been at least three identical posts there in the last week, though.

[Warpy]

21. When it was announced last week Fatso had gone to Ca,[ Davod )which he hates)

without members of his Cabinet, iI started to wonder just what is going on.

Dumping him before the midterms might just be their Hail Mary, trying to salvage the rest of the dead fish by cutting off its head. It's kind of a tos up as to whether or not it would work.



(sports metaphor soup, anyone?))

[Johnny2X2X]

23. This would be the biggest story in the country if it were Biden

Biden had Covid in office and that was the longest he didn't make a public appearance, 6 days. If this were Biden it would be wall to wall coverage of our President's "Health crisis!"

[Torchlight]

24. I'm guessing he'll turn up after the most obvious of bruising fades

Sometimes, those hands and neck bruises can't be covered up with makeup, and he certainly doesn't want a public appearance looking like he does, so he waits until the faders, foundations, bronzers, concealers, blush, highlighters, setting spray and gloss can most effectively mask his true self from public once again.

[Happy Hoosier]

27. I think he may have gotten major dental work done....

... and he doesn't want to appear in public until it's healed to the point he can sport his new implants.

[MontanaMama]

30. I'm no doctor but

I’ll chime in with the thought that he’s maybe getting diuretics and his kidneys are failing.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

42. Dialysis - that's it. It's very exhausting & causes bruising. nt

[GoCubsGo]

55. Or, chemotherapy...

He disappears for over a week at the same time every month, lately. That fits with a lot of chemo schedules. Like most men his age, I'm sure he has prostate cancer on top of everything else. Or, some gastrointestinal cancer, given his shitty diet.

[Rob H.]

58. There's a YouTuber who goes by epistemic crisis

Who's a physical therapist with a doctorate in his field and 14 years' experience working with elderly patients just like Trump who thinks that's exactly what's happening. They won't be able to prop him up forever.

[Sneederbunk]

31. Probably has been in serious consulations with Tom Kean.

[Midnight Writer]

34. Don't worry. He'll come back with a huge pair of brand spanking new kidneys.

[Bluetus]

38. He is taking a break from vigorous hand-shaking that causes bruising

and definitely not the result of monthly infusions for his Alzheimer's disease.

[Traildogbob]

39. How much

Of the Nations real Ft Knox Gold will he demand be used to make his coffin?
I think we should melt down all his fake gold crap, in our house, if he demands a Gold box.
I say bury him, insert a copper tube in his ass, poking up above ground, light it and give him a Kennedy “flame of honor” that will burn that blubber for decades. BUT, it has to be at Mardi Lardo.
That shit will be toxic. He has poisoned the country enough, Hell, the world.

[relogic]

44. Is it possible

that he has had an epiphany of slight shame after he let loose some rectal waste meant for “those evil, ugly liberals” at an inappropriate venue shall we say.

No, embarrassment, shame and self-correction for them are like ruby-red cheeks on a shriveled prune.

[hamsterjill]

47. They could hide his death for weeks or months and get away with it.

With AI, with others posting on social media for him, with past video, etc. it would be months before anyone could prove that Trump had died. Sound far fetched? Yeah, that's where I'm at with his enablers. They could sucker his followers for years because they'll believe anything.

Nothing Trump and Company do would surprise me. Someone needs to order a wellness check to the White House.

[Wednesdays]

66. Like I said above,

It would be like "Dave" or "Weekend At Bernie's," except with the help of AI. Like you said, they could keep the charade going for years.

[hamsterjill]

70. K&R

Great post!!!!

[SoFlaBro]

51. Praying for that motherfucking PINE BOX with that greasy orange fuckstain laying in it stinking.

[Lovie777]

52. I've got popcorn.......................

next is Vance and they will make him chose Rubio as VP.

[wnylib]

57. Fatigue, skin rashes, and mental fog are among

the symptoms of chemo therapy.

Prostate cancer shows up in aging men, as has happened to Biden. My father had prostate cancer and died from it at age 86.

If that is Trump's health problem, then he was no more fit to run for office in 2024 than Biden was. But Biden was still smarter and better qualified.

[Hope22]

59. ....compassionate, understanding.....

Selfless in many ways……..

[senseandsensibility]

60. Why is most of the corporate media ignoring this?

I think we know why.

[viva la]

62. It's hard to believe--

He seems to be everywhere all the time-- that awful voice, the insults, the sneers, the crazy.

[allegorical oracle]

63. WH destruction can be noisy and cause headaches.... nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

65. I hate to be the bearer of bad news

He did a press conference today. Insulted Kaitlyn Collins.

[EarthFirst]

68. How great the July 4th 250th festivities would be if... nt
