He did play golf today but even the NYPost questions whether the posted pic was from today. https://nypost.com/2025/08/31/us-news/donald-trump-seen-sunday-after-strange-speculation-about-his-health/ I think the alive-but-sickly theory has some traction. |
It is really amazing. I mean, he is super easy to imitate and parody and they do a terrible job of it. |
They should have hired Newsom’s social media person. |
He's definitely been sickly for a while. He's not dead, so alive but sickly is the only option. |
I have not seen the Irish Star before. It is quite entertaining (like The National Enquirer). Good for some laughs. |

And every time MAGA tweets, "here's a picture of him from this weekend!" someone invariably finds the exact same picture online except with evidence that it predates this weekend. Not going well. And at some point MAGA needs to learn that we know how to do image searches and fact checks because a good percentage of the crap they post is pure cringe. Maybe they are fooling their own boomer base but they sure as hell aren't fooling the rest of us. |
He was driven to the golf course. He probably didn't actually play golf. And then he was driven back. |
| My guess is that he is recovering from surgery or a procedure and for whatever reason they didn’t want to temporarily swear in Vance, which is what they are supposed to do if the president goes under general anesthesia. |
Just because MAGAs fall for this misinformation doesn't mean the rest of us do. |
Did Rudy drive him? |
It is unclear to me if the people running his social media are really incompetent or just full of contempt for Americans. Either way, they are really bad at their job and just making everyone suspicious. I suspect the procedure theory is on the money and that if they had been a little bit more savvy we'd be none the wiser. I assume he'll recover just fine and be back to his ADHD/dementia addled self this week. We might never have suspected a thing and, instead, we have all had a blast connecting the dots, making jokes, uniting in our shared schadenfreude. |
According to friends who live near his VA golf course, he hasn’t been there this weekend because there was no security. When he is there, they all know because the security detail presence is obvious. Roads have checkpoints and are heavily monitored. There has been none of that…therefore, he has not been golfing. |
