Donald Trump health fears spike as he ‘loses three weeks’ Despite the White House insisting he remains in “perfect” health, Mr Trump fed the flames of speculation during a rally in Dalton, Georgia, this week, ahead of the November mid-terms. Addressing the crowd, the president made an offhand comment about Chinese president Xi Jinping, who he said “was here last week”. In reality, Xi visited the US and met with Mr Trump during a three-day trip from September 23 to 25, around three weeks ago. The apparent blunder sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with one user labelling him “Dementia Donnie”. Another wrote: “He doesn’t [know] what day it is. It’s gonna get worse as he goes along.”

Informal poll for the commenters: how long do you think the WH will insist he’s alive after he dies? Whenever that day happens, they’ll say he’s in perfect health until its impossible not to. But how long will it take? I think at least a week.

There are dozens of things a day to criticize him for, a minor misstatement like this is not one. This is clickbait garbage.

He’s going to live a lot.longer than you think. And if you think he’s just going to pack up his classified documents and leave the Shite House in 2029, you’re very mistaken.

FFS an entire article about his mental decline at the rally and didn’t even mention as he left, he wandered right by the limo door being held open for him and into an empty field before being herded back by a gaggle of panicked agents.

Dude. This happens even to me on a regular basis. Why look for made up issues, when it is so easy to find real issues?

Why do Americans keep putting such old people into power? Trump and Biden. Why not someone young like Obama?
