Remember that "Pam: I have reviewed ..." TruthSocial post from Trump, the one that looked a lot like a private message?

Yes, it was supposed to be a private message.

Trump "was surprised to learn it was public."

Dizzying how some of the biggest doofuses who skulked around the most feverish, fetid corners of the internet now whisper in the ears of the people who run the government.

Ten years ago, Posobiec was an Infowars clown who was throwing out 1488s and parenthesizing Jews on Twitter.

Maybe it’s just me but I think “routine yearly checkup” should only work as a public explanation at most once a year.

aside from the facism, it is decidedly not great that it strongly appears a man with man army at his disposal truly is suffering from a severe mental decline; as in watch an old interview and he was much more coherent than now.

Uhhhh no, the president gets a checkup at the White House, which has a full time doctor and clinic, and can even do emergency surgery. Walter Reed is a hospital.

What donyou mean he's leaving for the Middle East? Was that planned? An official visit or a spur of the moment trip?

Is anyone going to ask why he would be leaving the country in the middle of a government SHUTDOWN!?!

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.
