      Always correlated it with a stroke, but yeah could be many things. Stokes use the acronym “Fast” for quick recognition.

      Face- Drooping/Sagging, muscular slack

      Arms - hold up arms if one falls…

      Speech - Slurring, inability to speak properly

      Time - contact emergency services immediately, as that person doesn’t have time

      people forget musk was an “illegal” himself, having overstayed a visa (allegedly). I do wonder if he lied on any of his immigration paperwork because citizenship can be rescinded on the grounds of fraud. This would force twitter to be registered as a foreign owned corporation and likely would be forced to sell under the tiktok law and he’d lose the military contracts.

    “Trump is slurring in a way I’ve never heard from him before,” remarked podcaster Susan Simpson. “Elon sounds like this is maybe the third or fourth time he’s had a conversation with a fellow human.”

          Don’t worry he said other horrible things outside that short clip too like claiming climate change sea level rise isn’t an issue because it would make more beach front properties somehow. (I don’t think he understands that raising sea levels generally cause beaches to get smaller and flood existing properties)

          He also reiterated his plans to completely remove the department of education (also a policy point in project 2025, isn’t it strange how he lines up with that)

            more beach front properties somehow

            Due to area decreasing by the square of the scale factor, the ratio of beach to area increases despite the size of beach decreasing. A higher ratio still means you’re losing beachfront, but I wouldn’t expect Trump to understand simple geometry.

          I don’t know if its true but they said he had to reroute away from his intended destination due to non payment of some bill at the airport he was going to would have resulted in the plane being impounded to settle the debt.

              It happens and its perfectly possible if the bill is owed at one location and not another. I’ve witnessed a UPS truck up on hooks being towed away due to UPS refusing to pay a settlement. Dude made them pay in cash refusing the check they rushed down.

        Even worse is that we are all surrounded by so many assholes that adore donnie like no one else. And many of them have wet dreams about killing/imprisoning/expelling most of the “vermin” (i.e., all the normal Americans).

        They are absolutely losing their minds right now. Love to see it. (Thanks, Biden.) And no doubt getting screamed 24/7 at by Donnie. While he fails to do anything they advise him to. Also: “Iran hacked us!” Sure, lol.

          The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

    Baseless speculation, but I wonder if Trump has upped anxiety meds since the assassination attempt

        Don’t give me hope. Actually if he could wait until November 6, that’d be great. The day after losing would be so sweet.

          That’s great timing. He’d have a day or so to screech about the votes for everyone’s amusement. Then dying soon after would help stop this election’s insurrectionists from doing terrorist attacks on the country.

            Oh no. No no. They would freak out, claim he was murdered by the deep state, and literally riot.

      I haven’t been following too closely, but I thought he was more worried/upset about the dems swapping Biden for Kamala than the assassination attempt.

        You don’t have to watch the news to know that the dude is completely rattled after a sniper took like eight shots at him and got him with a piece of one of them. If it was an inch to the other direction it would have torn off the side of his head. It was traumatic for Trump, to be sure.

        He’s been very obviously getting more senile over the last few months, even before Biden dropped out and before he got shot.

    Maybe he bit his tongue while yelling incoherently at the podium.

    Now it’s all swollen and doctors can’t treat it because he won’t stop talking long enough for them to get a look at it.
