There are rumors that Trump’s health isn’t good. More than just rumors. Facts. It was disclosed a few weeks back that he suffers from chronic venous insufficiency, which isn’t serious per se but does suggest he may have serious underlying problems and this is just a manifestation of them. Bruises have been spotted on his hands, too. They look like the bruises people on blood thinners tend to get. People who are on blood thinners tend to be people with serious chronic underlying problems.
Then there is the fact that he’s been out of the public eye for about four days now. This is unusual for Trump, who – unlike Biden – likes to be in front of the cameras and likes to banter with the press.
It smells of something’s wrong.
It is also something that goes deeper than whatever may be wrong with Trump. People who are old enough to remember the old Soviet Union in its declining days remember that just before it fell, it was run by a succession of old men. Some of them looked worse than the pickled corpse in the mausoleum they stood atop to wave at the crowds below. 
And here we are, again.
Trump ran and won to a great extent by pointing out Biden’s age and increasingly obvious physical frailty and mental decline. Trump didn’t even need to point it out. Biden made it plain during the “debate” that led to his being hurriedly replaced by Kamala Harris.
But Trump is only about two years younger than Biden is now and he is older now than Biden was back in 2020. By the end of Trump’s term in 2028 he will be about 83 years old. That will make him seven years older than Leonid Brezhnev was at the time of his death, back in 1982. Trump is already older than Brezhnev. And Andropov and Chernenko, the gerontocrats who replaced Brezhnev.
Ronald Reagan was thought by many to be too old to be president back in 1980, when he began his first term. He was 69 – a decade younger than Trump is right now. By the end of his second term in 1988, Reagan was obviously in decline. He was a year younger then than Trump is right now.
Orange Man is probably not dead. But he is almost 80 and so older than every Soviet-era gerontocrat. The parallels are remarkable. The Soviet Union in the late ’70s/early ’80s was in about the same state as its leaders. Everything was falling apart. Does it sound familiar? The Soviet gerontocrats assured the Soviet people that things were never better – but the Soviet people knew better.
We know better, too. 
The cost of just about everything is up while the quality of just about everything is down. We pay more and get less. Nothing seems to work. People look awful. As they did in the old Soviet Union, another remarkable congruence. We are tired. Worn out. Not because we are ruled by gerontocrats but because we are ruled. The gerontocrats are merely the ossified incarnation of the ossification that besets us generally.
As in the old Soviet Union, it is almost impossible to get anything done without first getting government permission and almost impossible to make a living doing anything because of the costs and impositions of government. Government is a suffocating omnipresence, like a nasty old man who hugs too much.
Trump is that old man. He wants to rule us, not leave us be. Burn Bibles all you like but never the flag, the symbol of Soviet State Power (whoops, “America”).
He is America’s Brezhnev, a decrepit remnant of another time whose time is almost up. The same may be true of America as well – and that may not be a bad thing for Americans, either. Just as it was not a bad thing for Russians, either, when the old Soviet Union finally fell apart.

Goaded by Eric’s post, today the New York Slimes (a day late and a dollar short) felt obliged to issue a refutation:
President Trump Is Alive
“I did numerous shows, and also did a number of Truths,” Mr. Trump said during an appearance in the Oval Office, referring to his social media site, where he posted over 90 times between Saturday and Monday. “I think, pretty poignant Truths. I was very active over the weekend.”
https://archive.ph/lQE4E#selection-757.0-757.278
Chain-posting Poignant Truths, as he devours a bag of Cheetos to deepen his tan. Is this living?
But then the Slimes actually ‘goes there’ and dishes the medical dirt, including a photo of the Great One’s bruised hand. And it quotes Trump’s former doctor:
‘Dr. Bornstein disclosed the medications Mr. Trump was taking: antibiotics to control rosacea, a statin for elevated blood cholesterol and lipids, and finasteride, a prostate-related drug to promote hair growth. Dr. Bornstein, who died in 2021, also said that Mr. Trump, rumored to be a germaphobe, “changes the paper on the table himself” after examinations.’
Then Dr. Sean Barbabella is quoted this year, saying Trump takes two medications, Crestor and Zetia, to lower his LDL cholesterol levels.
Crestor is a statin, y’all — a dangerous medication based on a flawed understanding of cholesterol. If Trump isn’t dead yet, the medics are going to take him out soon enough.
What a long, strange trip it’s been,
Trump has demonstrated a Jekyll Hyde demeanor but it’s obvious by now to those who held their noses and voted for him…..Mr. Hyde now completely dominates….and it also demonstrates that our political system is broken beyond repair. I’m looking mostly at what happens when Israel inevitably attacks Iran again….but Trump is toast for a significant percentage of people who pushed him over the line to “victory” over Kamala Harris….
When people start noticing that Trump is as bad as Biden on foreign policy, I point out that there’s no real difference between the two. I don’t think Trump is dying….I’d say trying to process the cognitive dissonance has driven him insane….
Indeed, Giuseppe –
Hope for change in the right direction via the vote is gone. Trump has poured iced cold water over the heads of those – like me – who thought that just maybe it might be otherwise. He is a narcissistic generalissimo-type who thinks he knows everything and is willing to impose it. It is not so much that he never learns. It is that he does not care.
“A narcissistic generalissimo-type who thinks he knows everything and is willing to impose it. It is not so much that he never learns. It is that he does not care.”
Sounds like basic requirements for gaining employment and advancement in GovCo. A real resume enhancement.
I think the Orange Douchebag is flailing about to do anything possible to distract from the Epstein files, which his toady Mike Johnson has so far managed to suppress.
Gold, comrades — it broke out above $3,500 an ounce today, as Donnie Fubar destroys the dollar:
https://postimg.cc/3kKFQqZK
It’s not about naming ‘easy money’ cronies to the Federal Reserve. It’s about abolishing this criminal counterfeiting ring. Think different.
Silver comrade. Its always been the stake in the heart of the vampire squid. If ten million people bought ten ounces each, the banksters would squeal like Bobby Tripp. But, Gold and Platinum will do just as well.
Donnie FUBAR – now that’s a good one. FUBAR because of orange man now demands Pfizer prove their vaccines work.
Trump’s henchman says they are going to declare a housing emergency this fall. Only the government can cause a housing emergency with regulations (permits, fees, zoning, taxes) and with endless currency devaluation which makes house prices sky high.
If government goons want to make housing affordable they should first start by stopping all interference in the home building process. Any other action makes the problem get worse.
If Russia nukes Amerika, housing will be instantly affordable as prices will fall 99%.
Hard to make out anything about the pudgy dweeb JD. He seems stable, intelligent, articulate, and even keeled. But what lurks beneath this façade? Or can it be any worse than the orange lunatic, breaking everything in sight? At the current rate, if nothing changes, we are so going to enter the FO phase. Trumpenstein is fully unhinged and untethered.
Those eyes speak volumes.
Here’s an addendum.

The older I get the more I come to the realization that most everything I’ve been told by supposed experts in their fields (from the lowly teacher to the highest echelons of specialists) has been total BS. History, science, politics, all of it mostly BS. Especially the big stuff.
There’s a great deleted scene from Donnie Darko between Donnie and his dad, where Donnie is complaining about being crazy. His dad gives an epic answer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbmxTA55678
For those who do not want to click:
Donnie: Dad, I’m crazy.
Dad: You’re not crazy. I used to be crazy, but you’re not crazy. Look, you’re my only son.
Donnie: Dad…
Dad: Now look, I know I’m not the best communicator, but… whatever happens to you, be honest. Tell the truth. Even if they do look at you funny. They will. But what you’ve got to understand, son, is that almost all of those people are full of shit. They’re all part of this great big conspiracy… of bullshit. And they’re scared of people like you. Because those bullshitters know that you’re smarter than all of them. You know what you say to people like that? FUCK YOU!
Donald Trump is Donnie Darko explained:
https://vimeo.com/852040911
(((Satanyahu controls the antichrist Trump)))
“Donnie Darko (19/1/2001) is one of the most esoteric films about the antichrist ever made. The main protagonist in the film is Donald J. Darko. Donnie is a young boy who one night is awoken out of his sleep by a man dressed in a rabbit suit who instructs him to walk to a nearby golf course. When Donnie arrives at the Golf Course, the rabbit (Frank) tells him, “28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds…. That is when the world will end.” When you add these numbers together, you get code 88. Donnie wakes up at the golf course and goes home to find that a plane’s jet propeller had struck his house right onto his room, where he would have died if he had not listened to Frank. From this point on, Donnie obeys Frank, who instructs him to commit several acts of chaos. Frank represents Lucifer, and Donnie the antichrist. The antichrist can only do what Lucifer instructs him to do”
(((Trump can only do what Satanyahu tells him to do)))
Trump’s body may be alive, but his brain perished a while ago.
From Lou Reed
They ordained the Trumps
And then he got the mumps
And died being treated at Mt Sinai
They discovered a new animal no ones ever seen
It was an inside trader, eating a rubber tire
After running over Rudy Giuliani
They say the presidents dead,
no one can find his head
Its been missing now for weeks
But no one noticed it
He had seemed so fit.
I’m sick of it. Bye bye bye
If Trump was dead, how would you know? Seriously, they fake everything. Biden’s niece said “Uncle Joe” died 4 years ago when Biden was president. Then we spotted definitive Biden doubles in masks. It became an internet staple. And we were right, in the last year of senile/dead Biden, someone in the white house was using the robopen to forge his name. Trump’s team threatens an investigation, Trump even says those fake executive orders are null and void.
Think about it, thousands of EOs by some unknown agent, could even be an Israeli, since they own the white man’s Zionist whore house. The nation is literally gone, but what are we to do, but keep playing along pretending the funny money is worth something – and now I see gold and silver taking off again – how much longer do we have until it blows up, this insane situation of empire unravel?
Virginia, the whole federal state is null and void, little shit Israel controls our “elected” whores of Israel. No one in D.C. has the will (or the brains/courage) to stop deficit spending. Probably one of the worst decisions by orange man was to spend all of that DOGE savings for more Pentacon spending.
My theory, the shell game will go on and won’t become “serious” for these con men Zio-whore-senators until interest rates blow up. Back in 1982 I went shopping for my first mortgage, rates were 17-18%. I wanted to get a $100,000 loan, my calculator said the interest over 30 years would be $200,000. This for some ugly junk starter home me and two other lieutenants wanted to buy to get out of renting.
I ask you all to consider the idea that rates could EASILY soar back to 1980 highs. What is to stop them? The situation is magnitudes worse than 1980. And it could happen quick, because the markets love to test previous highs (or lows). Anyone who is a market technician can attest that once any market trades to a new high or low, it can go back to those extremes much faster than it took to get there originally.
Trump f-cking with the Federal Reserve (not Federal, and no reserves) is exactly what could send interest rates shooting up like a bat out of hell. Trump is an imbecile, a spoiled big mouthed moron without peers. No one is as big of a brainless jackass as him. Good riddance, I hope he dies soon.
For myself, I have lost all faith in our nation state. Trumpenstein is endorsing a genocide, funding it, bragging about building a riveria on the blood soaked grounds of Gaza. That is so completely insane and sick as to make me want to vomit. Fuck Trump, I hope he is dead. He is a very sick compromised Zionist lunatic. I welcome anyone but him, I would like to see JD Vance sworn in, not because I like him per say, but I do not believe anyone is as extreme as Trump is kowtowing to the Israeli murderous Talmudic creeps.
Like Caitlin Johnstone is writing daily, how can you ever live down a genocide? This nation has lost it’s right to exist.
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/
Be afraid, if Donald J Trump dies in office the baddies will most certainly conjure up an assasination, probably by a “Russian Hitman” and slam through a nuclear war.
Always seemed to me that Vance was “their man”, guaranteed to perpetuate the agenda of those who wield the real power. (Not that The Orange POS isn’t…but they have a good back-up just in case Trump pulls something wild and they have to “dispose of him”…or just in case he happens to croak or loses his pea-brain mind).
Trump is the last gasp of the dying Boomer-era American Empire. I never though it was possible for Trump to “Make America Great Again.” He basically thinks he can return the country to 1960, but he ignores 60+ years of declining white birthrates, nonwhite immigration, feminism, debt, general consumerist hedonism and the inflated expectations that come with it.
The U.S. cannot sustain itself in this manner with the mass offshoring of jobs, global military commitments, and the $37 trillion-and-counting debt.
Trump was preferable to the evil bitch Hillary and the stupid bitch Harris. At least it can be said of him that he is not anti-white, anti-male and anti-hetero. He deserves credit for trying to revive manufacturing and trying to slow immigration. But I think it’s too little, too late.
The party is basically over, they just haven’t turned out the lights yet. In this way the USSA is indeed like the USSR of 1979 (we’ve even got an Afghanistan debacle of our own — except ours was even longer than theirs!)
When the Boomers are gone the Zohran Mamdanis are going to take over whatever’s left…
Thats pretty pessimistic. When the boomers finally leave this mortal coil there will be other factors that determine our national viability going forward. Can we pull the fever dream of the MIC back to a more sustainable Monroe doctrine type view? Can we all agree, which we mostly do, that they all must go back? And, any politician who disagrees gets a bowl of shit shoved in their face?
I look to what happened to the USSR and it gives me some small hope. They downsized and retooled and now 35 years later they are a high functioning society. America can still be great on a smaller scale. We just need to crystalize around a few basic ideas. All Politicians suck ass and need a high level of fear in their diet, all wars are banker wars, Israel and Ole Blighty are our greatest misfortunes, and, they all must go back. Most people under 4O when not being badgered or hectored by boomer school marms tend to agree with these points.
Hi Norman,
I actually agree with X. Russia was able to make a comeback because they are a culture of shared values. The USSA is not and never will be. Our country is literally split in half when it comes to any and all topics. We can’t agree that water should be clean and bad people should be put in jail. Very few of today’s youth (pretty much anyone under the age of 40) has very little knowledge of the US’s history. They are too busy watching TikTok and scrolling Instagram. They have lived an easy life and until life becomes very hard expect continued apathy and ignorance from the majority of the American public.
Maybe when the Internet crashes, the electric grid goes down, and we are all back to harvesting our own potatoes a fight for a better government will ensue. Until then our wisdom is wasted on closed minds.
Agree about the common cultural heritage. Thats necessary first step, and might begin to return if all the Illegal foreigners from even just the last ten years were sent packing. Baring that, yes we are cooked. I vehemently disagree about the propaganda of the country being split in half. Its only half if you believe one of the medias many lies, or if you live near the coastal elites. Its more like 2O-3O% maybe less you get rid of the streetshiters, Certainly once the boomers die off that number will decline. As almost all the organized opposition I see are old embittered cat ladies, retired form or still working in the NGO/GocCo/education/ complex.
Isn’t it the case that they are figuring out just how hard life is? Marxism and its modern variants is a siren song for the dull and stupid. And no amount of potato harvesting is going to wake up its adherents or beneficiaries. I enjoy their misery, and the schadenfreude.
Hi BAC,
If you are referring to the young uns inability to afford anything I think they are aware that new cars and any type of home is probably going to be hard to purchase. But, I think the difference between today’s youth and our generation (and the generations prior to us) was there was no one to help us. There was no safety net. We either worked or starved. When I left home at 19. I left home. There was no returning to Mom and Dad or dialing for dollars when things got rough.
In 2023, 45% of adults between 18-29 were living at home with the families. I am sure that number has only increased over the last two years. It is hard to “get up and go” when there is a roof over one’s head, the heat and air conditioning bill is being taken care of monthly, and there probably is a warm plate of spaghetti on the stove at 6:30 PM.
This is sound, RG –
The American colonies had a common culture; a way of looking at the world and themselves as well as others. You cannot have a nation held together purely by force. That is what we have. It cannot hold for much longer.
Agreed, Eric. That is why no country or civilization can have mass migration. A culture must have a set of shared values and when a society tries to enforce assimilation from other societies that hold different values, religions, objectives, and views it will not work.
from Washington’s Farewell Address:
“The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference,
you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.”
But then he goes on to say:
“… it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may
endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views.”
Which is, of course, exactly what happened…
Demographics is destiny. When the USSR died out guess what was remaining? White Slavic Russians, Slavic Europeans, and Europeans.
What would happen if this “regime” collapsed? You still live in a country that is now about 47% European and diminishing fast. No one has the will and would do the very grim work to correct that course. You will be Brazil in a few decades and are nearly there now.
Put your ostrich head back in the sand if you wish, but that is cold hard reality of the situation. Everyone sat around afraid to say anything because God forbid we sound “racist”. UK is rapidly on the same path but -might- be able to turn it around before it’s too late. The US is cooked however, demographic reality will see to that.
How is the UK not 1OOX worse off than us? My head isn’t in the sand. I’m one man, and I’ve been telling people about this shit IRL for decades. I’ve never been afraid to say something for fear of being called names. I welcome that, as a badge of honor.
I can remember when I was ostracized from family and polite company for criticizing immigration policy back in the late nineties to early 2OOOs. Like I said, I’m one man and no one seems to give a good gawd dam about organizing behind simple things like borders, language, and culture. Then, beyond that, hatred toward geriatric politicians, wars and bankers. I may be a little slow at times but I’m not the stupid type to do stupid things. If there were more than a few of us, I’d gladly put my life, honor, and sacred fortune on the line. I guess I’m not sure what you’re suggesting. No one really knows what would happen in a collapse until it happens.
No, you are right about not putting your life on the line. For what? You’d just be made an example of. There is nothing ‘heroic’ that can be done until the entire government were to get behind a radical shift which I don’t see happening. I’m not asking you, one man, to do anything. I was just saying you should acknowledge how dire it actually is.
As for the UK it -seems- bad, but the demographic reality is different there. Still majority British (White) but rapidly headed towards US numbers. We went from 90% white European population in 1980 to 47% in 2025. That is unheard of in history to see a demographic shift that alarming and fast unless it was through conquest/war.
Soft conquest. The Great Replacement which everyone tells you is a figment of your imagination could not BE more real. The central planners have wanted it that way and they got it both here and in Canada as well as Western Europe. All by design.
It is replacement by design, and we mostly all know who designed it. I try to light up the darkness from time to time, because without hope, what do we have? Not a strategy, I know, just hope that the fight may be in my lifetime, so my grandkids know peace. Times a ticking though and I’m getting older. If too old to fight, maybe I’ll become an armorer, or a quartermaster.
“we’ve even got an Afghanistan debacle of our own — except ours was even longer than theirs!”
Afghanistan: Graveyard of Empires
When I pointed this out in Oct. 2001 I was told to find another country to live in.
All over 4chan are these memes that the USA boomers are the last Zionist holdouts, and once they die off, as they are now, there will be zero support left for Zionist hell on earth called Israel.
In 1956, Robert Heinlein published a novel titled Double Star. It’s classified as science fiction because of its setting in a future colonized solar system that includes non-human Martians. But it’s actually a penetrating psychological portrait of the protagonist, unemployed actor Lorenzo Smith (a/k/a ‘The Great Lorenzo’).
Smith is hired to impersonate a kidnapped politician, Joseph Bonforte, who was scheduled to attend an important ceremony with the Martians. Smith is disgusted by Martians, who don’t look or smell like humans. But in an unscripted moment in the ceremony, a Martian kid wanders into his path. Overcoming his distaste, Smith reaches out and pats the little Martian on the head, winning riotous applause.
Smith goes on impersonating Bonforte through the election. But Bonforte dies, and Smith ends up taking on his identity for life. Fortunately, Bonforte kept extensive files on his personal contacts. Smith is caught in his deception only once.
In our time, AI can easily simulate Trump’s 13-year-old schoolgirl writing style. (Hell, even Gavin Newsom can do that.) Mimicking Trump’s facial and verbal tics, though, takes consummate skill. For an actor (most of whom, like Trump, crave applause and approval), portraying a larger-than-life raging narcissist on the grand stage of the White House is the role of a lifetime.
The Great Lorenzo is doing a bang-up job of it. But some things, such as Melania’s withdrawal from public view as her husband lies dead or dying, just can’t be covered over. What flaky script will Stephen Miller (the Hofjude behind the throne) hand The Great Lorenzo to read next? Oy vey, not sure I want to know …

In a similar vein, take Zaphod Beeblebrox from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. His job was to deflect attention from the power brokers, rather than be the power broker.
“Zaphod is just this guy, you know.”
I frequently use the line “The secret is to bang the rocks together, guys”.
I work in tech, and it floors me when the young’n’s don’t know the basics.
Hi Jim,
As Mark Twain stated, “The report of my death was an exaggeration.” I think Trump’s “illness” is built on hopium for some on the Left and many others that The Donald has pissed off.
He comes from a line of German Scots. They usually have pretty long lives. Both of his parents lived to be 94 and 88 years of age. His eldest sister was 86. Does he probably have heart problems and is on blood thinners? Likely, but so are both of my grandmothers and my father. Trump has access to the best doctors on Earth. If I were him I would be more fearful of a bullet than a heart attack.
Orange Man Pissed
“Without Tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in, our Country would be completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated,” Mr. Trump wrote in a social media post on Sunday.
“If a Radical Left Court is allowed to terminate these Tariffs, almost all of this investment, and much more, will be immediately canceled!” he wrote. “In many ways, we would become a Third World Nation, with no hope of GREATNESS again.”
Peter Navarro, a trade adviser to the president, on Sunday described the decision as “weaponized partisan injustice at its worst.” Mr. Navarro, speaking on Fox News, asserted that a loss at the Supreme Court would be the “end of the United States.” — NYT

Pretty feisty for a dead guy! Does this lurid parade of horrors sound like the words of a person fully in possession of his faculties? Its full-on hysteria — ‘destroyed’ ‘obliterated’ ‘canceled’ — is pitched to credulous junior high school students who get their ‘news’ from TikTok. But they don’t get to vote.
America’s true horror is its second successive mentally incapacitated president. The ‘Biden’ entity was just senile and out of it. Trump — or his portly body double — suffers from NPD, denial of reality and hysteria. If this were the 19th century, he’d have a fainting couch.
What does Doctor Jim mean by denial of reality? Trump’s perceived enemies on the appellate court aren’t Radical Leftists [sic] — they are constitutionalists. Article 1, Section 8, bitchez. Trump (or the actor who plays him on TeeVee) tried to read it one day. But his lips got tired. 🙁
Here is the cue for my buddies here – “Doctors’ plot”! You know whom to blame now 😉
Seems like your’e the one bringing IT into the discussion now. Why do’nt you show everyone where your fellow traveler grabbed you.
You can kiss my ever-loving ass on 42nd street
I thought the black hatted Hasidim in dirty gaberdine hung out on 47th st. So solly, not interested in South African blood diamonds.
Maybe Trump should be checking in on the health of his food taster to see if slow poison is the method the deep state is now taking? They tried everything else.
Putin’s grandfather was the personal chef for first, Lennin then Stalin. Not because he was a great chef, it was because he was loyal Marxist/communist, and he could be trusted.
