The platform formerly known as Twitter is on fire with rumors flaming out that Trump is dead (He is not) because he hadn’t been seen in public since Tuesday until just a brief glance Saturday morning. The rumors were strong enough that right-wing influencers sought to put video out of Trump at his golf course, only to have the video fact-checked and revealed to be from early this year. To be clear, Trump did get in the motorcade this morning with granddaughter Kai (A new net sensation) to go golfing. But it wasn’t pretty.

It is very hard to tell what is on his left hand, for all we know, it is part of a golf glove. There are other pictures that highlight just how frail the man looks. (I cannot say one way or another whether the picture below has been edited or altered. I do know that the Lincoln Project is generally a trustworthy account):

Again, all of these follow the many posts speculating on Trump’s “death” given that he hadn’t been seen since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar this weekend (Thanks for honoring the working laborer, Mr. President). As noted above, MAGA felt the need to put out a video, but they weren’t quite sneaky enough:

The posts about Trump being “dead” were wholly out of control and lack no basis in fact. But they did seem to really invest themselves in it.

Well, the man is most certainly alive, but he doesn’t look good, and more than a few people noticed:

We don’t know what the problem is. But as I have written before, one has to watch the golf schedule to really know if Trump is doing poorly. We have no reports of what Trump looked like at the golf course (Or even if he actually played), but we know he made the single most minor of appearances in order to get to the course. He absolutely did so, knowing that Xitter was blowing up. It made an appearance almost mandatory.

It is interesting that he disappeared from view for most of the week. It is not like him to ignore cameras and microphones. Coverage is his oxygen, and to go without it for more than a couple of days is noteworthy. You can be certain that the net will be watching whether Trump appears any more this weekend. If he does not, the rumors will start flying again. After all, it is not like Trump to give up two perfectly viable golf days on a long weekend. So who knows what will happen?

We did get a small preview of what it would be like to hear an announcement of Trump’s death. That is something.

  3. If that’s what he looked like headed TO the golf course I shudder to think of what he looked like if he played even only nine holes. Sans the orange face paint (since he doesn’t slather it on when he plays golf) we’ve seen plenty of times where he looked like death warmed over. I swear I’ve seen corpses on a slab that looked better. For those who don’t know before going into the Marines I spent almost four years working in the small town funeral home for the family that had handled by parent’s funerals. So yes I’ve literally seen more corpses than you, and 99.9 percent plus of our readers. BEFORE they were embalmed and after but before they were prepared for a viewing. I can honestly say what I said about having seen corpses (more than a few) that looked better than Trump after a round of RIDING around in golf cart!

    Decades ago of conservative pundit Robert Novak it was said of his appearance he was a triumph of the embalmer’s art. Emil Bove looks like he’s Novack’s “love child” and I’ve said the same about him a couple of times. But Trump? He looks ghastly. He’d inspire screams appearing in a cheesy horror film, waddling into some bedroom in the middle of the night with an ax in his hand!

    • Bove does look evil. But he doesn’t compare to Stephen Miller whom looks like a nazi zombie vampire and I didn’t know that was possible. But yes Trump also looks pretty unhealthy.

    • Let’s hope he doesn’t die on a holiday. Social Media can then create one: TFFDay, for Trump FINALLY F**king (or Freaking for those less salty than some of us) DIED Day. Imagine the posts and memes mocking MAGA anguish that would go viral. Meal Team Six goobers doing rapid back & forth raging and weeping, and shooting themselves in the foot drawing their guns intending to shoot into the air to vent, or to point at the camera while threatening the libs – maybe winging the cameraman instead of themselves. Or getting carried away wailing on camera about Donald being gone and getting inspired to as they’d put it “do what those Jews do” and rend their garments only to realize after ripping what they’re wearing exclaim “Oh shit – this is my best suit/dress!” You get the idea. For me in whatever years I have left after that blessed day when Trump f**king DIES I’ll engage in a version of an annual ceremony I once was proud to observe. However instead of reading Gen. LeJeune’s message from my Marine Corps Manual and the Commandants message that year followed by the traditional toasts with a glass of Scotch (to be chased by a beer) and since I played Curly in the musical Oklahoma fifty years aga sing a rewritten version of Poor Judd is Dead – I’ve already thought about various lyrics to rewrite it to mock Trump!

      Given how bad Trump looks maybe I need to get cracking on that. I’d want to share it here on PZ. My main point though is to start getting ready now for the nauseating outpouring from conservatives over the death of Trump and be ready to respond on social media.
