FFS an entire article about his mental decline at the rally and didn’t even mention as he left, he wandered right by the limo door being held open for him and into an empty field before being herded back by a gaggle of panicked agents.

Did you see video of this? I'll look for it if you can give me a hint where you saw it.
He looks like he's already had at least one minor to moderate stroke
i for one can't wait for the first official TFFD-- trump's finally fucking dead day, already my favorite holiday, which i may extend to at least a week of celebration
I've already debated whether I should buy the champagne now in case of a shortage or wait.
I've decided to try to contribute to the sales stats of that day.
I'm taking the week off of work. No question.
We’ve got champagne in the fridge just waiting…
A stroke would be OK too.
He's already had a couple that's why his face droops and he wears that exoskeleton thing to help him walk.
I don’t want to imagine him having a “stroke”
It's unfortunate that nothing would change.
Informal poll for the commenters: how long do you think the WH will insist he's alive after he dies? Whenever that day happens, they'll say he's in perfect health until its impossible not to. But how long will it take?
I think at least a week.
They've been doing it for months with Mitch. Definitely at least a week.
What even is alive? Can you describe consciousness?
It's "health hopes", not "health fears".
He's going to live a lot.longer than you think. And if you think he's just going to pack up his classified documents and leave the Shite House in 2029, you're very mistaken.
They're gonna Mitch McConnell him for as long as they can.
The year is 2032. The crowd is gathering for God Emperor Trump's birthday parede. Not voluntarily, but at least they get beer and a desiccated burger. The organizers are doing their best again to make the Emperor presentable. The orange makeup covers a lot, and the smell has been gone for a couple of years now. Still, their hearts tremble when the handwaving mechanism kicks in. People need to see Dear Leader strong, to forget the war that has been ravaging the Mid-Western states. The parede ends well, no body parts have been flung this year. People shuffle back to their buses, savoring the rare taste of beer in their mouth. Many of them take the burger in their pockets back to their kids in the barrack. It will be a good day for them too! Long live the Emperor!
Is that you, Stephen King?
See, I think after the midterms they are going to kick him out for Vance and try and parlay the next two years into 2 presidential terms for him.
At least we won't have to hear his stupid dementia rambles any more..
I'm sure grok has enough to make it up. Hallucinations are a plus this time.
"Fears"
“Hopes”
I think the only fear here is that he dies before the elections, and the conservatives get some kind of sympathy bump instead of him being alive dragging them down....
"Fears" because you're posting a shitty, sensationalized tabloid.
Are they really health "fears", though? Or are they more like "hopes"?
Why does Trump get so many comments? He’s such a piece of shit. I regret leaving this comment. UPDATE: I didn’t realize this was about his failing health. Upvote extended
He needs emergency surgery to remove that ugly growth on his neck.
Oh wait that's his head. Oh well, proceed.
There are dozens of things a day to criticize him for, a minor misstatement like this is not one. This is clickbait garbage.
i can, and will, criticize, ridicule, mock, shit on, etc this fascist nazi rapist loser for dozens of things and this. it's not difficult.
i say bring on all the "clickbait garbage." if it's shining light on trump's asinine incompetence and lack of fitness to serve, then it's not garbage. yea, sure, anyone could mistake 3 weeks ago for last week. i don't care. fuck trump
The dude is a real life Eric Cartman. The more you are outraged, the more you control you give him. He thrives off being constantly in the news, good or bad. The only way to beat him is to ignore him. And vote, maybe...

that's solid advice, except trump is actively wrecking the country and the world. trump starts another bullshit forever war just because he can, and your suggestion is to "ignore him"?
no. i'll shit on trump until the day i die.
"and vote." ok. we'll see if voting is even a thing that matters in our fascist country in a couple weeks.
Even this level of hope doesn't justify a link to the Express. Some publications should always be ignored.
White Church of God members in my spot of rural USA are expressing their regrets.
This is a right wing tabloid
It's right down there as one of the worst.
Give it two weeks....
