    NY Times confirms

    President Trump Is Alive. The Internet Was Convinced Otherwise.
    In the world of presidential health, distrust and speculation run so rampant that even Mr. Trump’s online assurance that he was fine was immediately explained away as part of a cover-up.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/us/politics/trump-health-bruise-conspiracies.html

    excerpt:

    President Trump had nothing on his public schedule for three days last week. He is often sporting a large, purple bruise on his right hand, which he sometimes slathers with makeup. His ankles are swollen. He is the oldest person to be elected president.

    For a swath of hyper-online Americans over the long Labor Day weekend, all of this was explanation enough: The president was either dead or about to be.

    ***
    “There’s always been this wishful-thinking industry around Trump’s health and Trump’s legal woes,” said Mike Rothschild, a journalist and author who studies conspiracy movements. “There’s been this far-left influencer sphere that is constantly pumping up the idea that Trump is about to go to prison or the walls are closing in.”

    Will reserve judgment until I hear what the NY Post has to say.

    Very far left. This wasn't even a topic on the leftist mainstream media. But of course many posters on clutchfans were all-in anticipating his demise. It really demonstrates that these posters are extreme.

    Need a photo of him holding a newspaper and a bag of fast food to confirm.

    The liberals have to be incredibly red-faced at the moment. They just keep being proven wrong in every allegation against Trump! ... because when the liberals have nothing... they simply make something up. They lack any type of moral compass when it comes to anything related to Trump... as liberals falsely believe their outrage is righteous... when in reality, it's viewed as absurd and dishonest by rational people.


    GOOD DAY

    I don’t understand the current political discourse in this sub, or just about anywhere anymore. I read so many posts that just leave me saying “wtf” or “who cares”. The focus, and angles people are taking most of the time just seem off, or bizarre.

    Well, the liberals were engaged in a conspiracy theory fantasy about Trump's death. That's how low they have sunk -- from a character/moral/integrity perspective. Independent voters are looking at them and seeing a total freak show and psychological train wreck. Hard pass!


    GOOD DAY

    Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, Trump had spearheaded an effort to defame a sitting president was not US born

    what has been the ethical response to the convenient lie that Trump had propagated



    Trump had used the office of the presidency to advise people to inject cleaning solutions / disinfectants to fend off the COVID virus.

    What has been the ethical response to this willfully ignorant lie by POTUS Trump?
