Wild rumors, but scant evidence, that Trump is in serious condition at Walter Reed.

The WH itself has extensive medical facilities, and it's certainly possible he's being treated for something there. But it would be virtually impossible to secretly transport a president to Walter Reed (by either airlift or motorcade) without calling a LOT of attention to it, especially with the added constraints of a medical emergency.

And most of the "evidence" for this is just silly.

"They called a lid early in the day on a weekend to get rid of the press." They call early lids all the time, and it doesn't mean no one is watching the White House.

"Some of the entrances to Walter Reed are closed off". Which happens routinely on nights and weekends.

It is the unconscious desire of the entire nation, if not the world, that this guy simply stopped being president

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @mattblaze TBH, I feel like the USA's best chance is if Trump continues to randomly fuck things up until the midterms. He's more than welcome to bite the dust afterwards.

And somebody living in the US I can’t really agree or disagree, but I tend towards disagree.

Somehow, the idea of the Almighty putting an end to the travesty shortcuts, a lot of insanity from the faithful. He has been the figurehead holding a coalition of negatives together , and they are already at each other‘s throats.

It would get a lot worse without him around

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @floe @mattblaze
It'll be a short-lived celebration when he croaks. With his grifting and other pet projects out of the way, Project 2025 can go full steam ahead.

And there's a serious danger of the Democratic Party and credulous fanboys going into "mission accomplished" mode and sitting with their thumbs in their asses as the christofascism really ramps up.
