Did he have a stroke? The left side of his face(his right) is seriously drooping…

ETA: I completely forgot he denied he had several “mini strokes” that no one had claimed he’d had back in 2020:

Is that really him?

He looks even more like a pile of shit in a cotton candy wig than usual.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah - I thought it was some shitty AI deepfake thing at first glance which is the only reason I bothered to look closer

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 month ago

AI might miscount fingers, but looks much better than that, and frankly I doubt it has the nuance to make someone look so realistically old, tired, and bedraggled, since it's mostly been trained on pictures that tried to look good, and not like the human equivalent of that famous poorly taxidermied lion.

Hey, if I had to go into a sheriff’s office, I’d want to send a body double too. Can’t even blame him.

Same goes for the gorilla enclosure at the zoo, a gang hideout, a sewer, etc.

a sewer

You're really going to regret missing out on an opportunity to meet The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

I’m convinced he did. Maybe multiple. It’s more obvious in this photo but it looks like his right side shows evidence going back years. He also often covers his right hand with his left hand. My father had a stroke and started doing that. He always had the affected hand covered by the stronger one.

he was slurring the other day with the musk interview.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've been thinking stroke since the thing he did with Musk.

Wonder if stress from the assassination attempt brought it on…it was just a month before that interview.

And he seems to have gotten…weirder…ever since.

[–] occhionaut@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Its probably due to Kamala decimating him at the polls, among other things. Racists abhor getting 1-upped by the people they hate

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

LOL, this guy doesn't stress over silly things like reality. Besides, that assassination attempt was a dream come true for him.

[–] PoopDelivery@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He thought it was a dream come true, turns out most people don't give a shit that a violent rapist ex president that wants to hurt them was shot at. I imagine his last years like that English King in Braveheart.

Haha! That would finally be some measure of justice. Now if only a lib could get pregnant by his kids and inherit his empire.

There was a post about 2 weeks ago that made fun of the idea of trump having ptsd from that.

And their logic for why trump doesn't hsve ptsd is (insert long list of shitty things he's done to other people). As if him being a piece of shit somehow makes him immune from health and mental issues.

I got downvoted for saying I legit think he has ptsd. This just adds to the pile of reasons I still think he does.

I legitimately was told that surviving an assasination attempt on your life, where you were absolutely the target, isn't cause to develop ptsd, and I should learn what real ptsd is.

What???
