Twitter Shaken By Trump’s Video Statement: Makes Almost Zero Sense and Barely Opens His Eyes

By

First things first and this is important. We read and published some of the reports predicting that Trump couldn’t possibly make it through his first term due to deteriorating health. He made it. Admittedly, he gave it one hell of a shot with COVID but the best doctors on earth can do a lot of things for a president that can’t normally be done with regular people.

Regardless, people have been pointing to physical frailties for quite some time. There is no doubt he gained a massive amount of weight as president. Nor is there any doubt that Trump’s speech has slowed, his vocabulary has gone from 8th-grade level toward fourth, and the cliches mixed in with various nothings have gotten worse.

Additionally, the eyes were always questionable, pupils often massive, certainly different in different pictures. Obviously, the net blamed the eye pupil thing on the long-rumored Adderall abuse or whatever other stimulant he might have gotten his hands on that day. But we’ve never seen this, or – at least we’ve never seen this when he didn’t seem doped on Benzos. He has plenty of energy in this video – and, no, we have no idea what the video’s about because his messages usually mean nothing nowadays. His health might be of some interest and toward that end, his eyes are near shut.

The net noticed and couldn’t be calmed down about it. A wave overtook it and broke, trending quite highly. Also, look at the way he clasps his arms. We do know that he has involuntary spasms in his arms. We have video of that. But not this:

And that did it:

That is not entirely it. We have seen him using a script before. First of all, he’s not reading a script. That seems plainly obvious. Second, again, we’ve seen him give plenty of speeches with teleprompters and yet not seen anything like this.

Ranting yes, eyes squinting to read? No, something a bit more than that.

Peace, y’all
