Pointing out that very little that Trump said in his press conference made sense.

1. He looks like he's about to have a heart attack

[MANative]

4. Don't get my hopes up. Nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Well, if God decides it's time to take him home, who are we to argue?

Where you think his permanent "home" might be depends on your theological inclinations.

[Garrett78]

6. Or lack thereof, as I think he'll be worm food.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Don't wish such a thing on innocent worms.

[bluedigger]

23. It would be a step up for the organic matter.

[KPN]

21. Lol!

[njhoneybadger]

26. I don't know, though he seems to have asbestos on his mind lately

[machoneman]

32. Correction: "Well, if SATAN decides it's time to take him home, who are we to argue?"

There, I fixed it!

[Butterflylady]

39. Is the sinkhole in the Whitehouse lawn still there?

It'll be a shortcut. Won't be any tax money used, just throw him in.

[smirkymonkey]

25. If only!

[TNNurse]

30. I want him to burst into flames.

[saidsimplesimon]

33. You are as clever as Molly Ivans.

I laughed a lot over the mental image of a pile of lard melting from the frame.

Had no plans to comment today, cousin, retired California teacher in town, I just could not resist thanking you, TNNurse for a great line.

[TNNurse]

40. You are most welcome, have a great visit.

[pandr32]

35. Yes!

[Leighbythesea]

45. This also struck me

As exceedingly funny. Thanks for the laugh.

[mnmoderatedem]

2. does he think the problem of trump's mental state...

is a recent thing?

[Garrett78]

9. Yeah, incoherence has been a thing with Trump for many years now.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. I think he's declining noticeably right in front of our eyes.

Harwood mentioned that in the latter, closed-door part of the FEMA meeting when they were there to discuss hurricane preparedness Trump rambled on and on about everything but the topic at hand.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Not fast enough, though.

And didn't Dr. Ronny say his health was excellent, all 236 lbs. of him (in Martian pounds).

[True Blue American]

42. His face looks pasty

And the bags are worse.

[tazkcmo]

18. That's what I was thinking

His incoherent ramblings are a feature, not a bug and they certainly aren't new or even recent.

[spanone]

3. K&R...

[bearsfootball516]

7. He hates these extended business trips he has to go on.

If he could do his entire presidency from the White House and Mar-A-Lago, he would. The longer he's away, the more miserable he is.

[quartz007]

10. He misses Melania on those trips?

[bearsfootball516]

13. Bahahahaha

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. We can always hope AF1 has some mechanical problem

while he's in Singapore, and they have to have a part flown in, and it's the wrong part, so they have to have another one flown in, only they can't get that part because the 747 is an old airplane, so they have to get Boeing to make one, which will take a couple of weeks.

I believe there are actually 2 planes that are used as AF1, but maybe the other one needs the same part, and Spanky doesn't want to fly in anything less luxurious, and his own airplane doesn't have the range to get him back from Singapore, so he's stuck there for a couple of weeks, staying in a hotel that doesn't have his name on it.

Sad.

[malaise]

12. Nothing he ever said made or makes sense

He is an ignorant vile cretin.

[highplainsdem]

28. +1,000,000

[C_U_L8R]

15. But... but...

his doctor says he's the healthiest human that ever was on the planet.

Yes indeed, he does look like a walking heart attack... all bloated, breathless and... orangish-red.
And lord knows how many small strokes that large head has endured through his shitfits.
The dementia must be strong with this one.

[CatMor]

22. Dr. Ronny said if trump changed his diet....

he could live to be 200 because of his great genes. What a joke that whole physical debacle was.

[gibraltar72]

16. It is America that doesn't look well.

[Achilleaze]

19. Really?

[beachbum bob]

20. The noose is tightening

[highplainsdem]

24. Just edited the OP to add link to the Mediaite article about this, with video.

[Sneederbunk]

27. It is he who is a under "maximum pressure."

[MrScorpio]

29. Quick, someone page a pornstar for the prez

[dlk]

31. So, What Else is New?

[SHRED]

34. Jeezus where has this guy been?

[snort]

36. Good.

[oasis]

37. Please pray for Trump. I sure as hell don't want Pence to be

in the driver's seat before the 2020 elections.

[Tavarious Jackson]

38. Where are the witches?

I wish they would do their thing. nt

[Grammy23]

41. I think we need to remember that these reporters have followed tRump

closely for some time. They see him depart from the WH regularly and are familiar with his impromptu moments in front of the cameras. Often what WE see are the clips from an interview whereas, the reporters were there for the entire event. They know very well what is normal behavior for tRump and what is a departure from the norm (for him).

If Harwood is seeing changes (for whatever the reason), I think we can believe him. It is not that he is just noticing. He is PAID to notice things. A person who has been an eye witness to the bizarre person who occupies the WH has a unique opportunity to report to the rest of us what he sees and observes.

We’ve had hints and observations of our own that tRump is not well. Now we have a well known journalist tell us he sees it, too. The thing that is critical right now is the big pow wow in Singapore. A lot is riding on this. His departure to go to Canada seemed especially odd to me. His belligerence and anger were evident in every word he said. It was a noticeable change that seemed to exaggerate every negative thing about him. I think we should be very, very worried that he is the man sitting down with Kim. Something is not right. Even more than usual. Harwood just made a point of mentioning what he saw.

43. Ronny Jackson

No longer Trump Doctor, according to CNN.

[Takket]

44. Isn't not making sense perfectly normal for him? Lol

[Penn Voter]

46. Nothing made sense because

Trump is a con artist who doesn't know what the hell he is talking about.

[onethatcares]

47. thoughts and prayers to the kid.

Melanoma, meh..........she just had plastic work to please him

[struggle4progress]

48. His cognitive impairments are worsening
