Here are some less breakthrough news: President Trump is very good, still alive, and not dead yet.
The president himself was confirmed directly, and was surprised and confused at a press conference yesterday, after a widespread speculation that the president’s health might be problematic.
According to fake internet rumors, boring, gossiping social media detectives often censor pictures and videos of celebrities, or lack censorship to prove that the celebrity involved is uncomfortable, or may have been dead and replaced like Paul McCartney or Avril Lavigne. Recently, Trump has been the subject of some speculation within the scope of the #TrumpDead hashtag trending on social media.
Obviously, no serious person really thinks Trump is dead, despite his appearance, his rhythm, his energy is all censored: after all, he is the oldest man ever to hold a presidency.
Trump’s hand in particular has attracted attention – not only random social media people, but also mainstream and progressive media in mainstream and progressive media like Daily Beast and New York Magazine.
To be fair, his hands looked very hurt, and to me, iv therapy showed.
But before any media starts to worry about Trump – we know they are worried because oh, they love him so much – let’s consider this reality checking out from the horse’s mouth: Donald Trump himself.
Trump immediately reached the heart of the problem – the double standard was at work. You may see it coming…
“I haven’t had a two-day (press conference) and they said, ‘He must have a problem.’ Biden won’t do it for months, you won’t see him, no one said he has any problems, we know he’s not the biggest situation.”
Now, while I may not agree with everything President Trump wrote on Truth Social on the weekend, I do agree with his general view: the mainstream media’s interest in Trump’s health seems somewhat unobtrusive, especially when it comes from people who fail to properly censor the health of former President Biden.
And I’m not going to continue training on this topic, because at this point we’ve been thoroughly litigating the fact that Biden’s sharp decline in the last two years of his presidency has been overshadowed by a few advisers by the media and his own cabinet, and with some rare exceptions that basically no one has spoken out. The media certainly did not finish the work and asked for access with the president, or pointed out that if they did not gain access, perhaps the public should start to draw conclusions about what this means.
Maybe the media will say, “Hey, now, we realize we’ve screwed up, and this time we want to do better, so we’re too sensitive to any possible information that might point to Trump’s decline.” But the American public may find it hard to believe.
Anyway, if Trump’s health does decline, or his age does catch up with him, then you might be the first to know – you won’t need mainstream media to tell you. That’s because Trump is unique. Not only compared to Biden, but also to any other president in U.S. history. He sat on a long podcast, asking questions from the media, and he spoke to the cabinet very regularly. If he does change that schedule or disappear from the public eye, I hope mainstream media will indeed ask questions. But the evidence will be self-characteristic.
As Elon Musk likes to say to the community on X, this is indeed a stand-in for the online American public: You are now in the media.
