Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

They're the ones who wrote those xweets, and they probably typed them for Chump too. His fat fingers and his bad eyesight make it obvious when HE types that shit. When it's all spelled correctly and the grammar is correct, we know somebody else wrote it. In this case it was a whole team of writers.

Does President Trump Actually Write His Own Tweets?
Trump posts just 5% of the tweets under his name, according to a new report.

The short answer is that Trump isn’t actually typing out the posts that everyone is seeing day to day about 95% of the time. At least that’s according to Laura Loomer, the far-right conspiracy theorist who holds enormous sway within the administration when it comes to people getting fired for “disloyalty.”

Loomer isn’t the only source who believes that Trump isn’t actually typing out posts 95% of the time. Wired says that this number is consistent with unnamed sources who guesstimate the same thing. But it’s important to note that just because Trump isn’t actually typing, that doesn’t mean his aides are creating his content without any input from the man himself.

There are two people who are usually posting content to Trump’s account on Truth Social, the platform he owns and posts to almost exclusively under his name. The first person is Natalie Harp, a 34-year-old aide who actually does the typing when the president wants to share something with the world on social media.

The other person who actually types out Trump’s posts is Dan Scavino, who used to work as an assistant manager at the Trump National Golf Club Westchester in New York, according to Wired. Scavino has been around, leading Trump’s social media efforts since his first term in office from 2017-2021, but Wired notes that Scavino has been delegating a lot of that work, suggesting Harp may be the one mostly commonly typing.

They tried to explain away the bruising as being from too many handshakes from all the great new trade deals he's making, and the press totally bought that. That doesn't really work for band-aids too though.

His eyes close permanently and his mouth freezes shut. Then as he is propped up for photo ops for Miller to stay in control, his cult has to make a decision, is that his normal stench or is he decomposing? Then MAGAT’s start feeding on his corpse. Then Miller et al, every one in those blow job sessions, go to prison and his rotting ass is fed to them. There will be enough to eat for at least a month. And to wash that blubber down, ground water down stream of Mardi Lardo sewer system.

I mean, all that golf, and rage tweeting really wears a guy out.
The real idiot here is Marco Rubio who's still playing the ass-kissing sycophant even though he knows Trump can't hear him.
Every time I think Rubio's hit rock bottom, he finds a way to dig down a little deeper.

Tue Dec 2, 2025, 05:02 PM

I had a stent put in one of my coronary arteries last spring and had to take blood thinners (Plavix) for six months. During that time my hands and lower arms developed huge bruises that looked exactly like Trump's that looked like I had been struck by a hammer on my skin. I could just brush against something lightly and an hour later it would look like I had dropped an anvil on my hand. When I finished with the Plavix a few months ago the bruising stopped and hasn't happened again.

Reports of his decline both physically and mentally, while sadly gratifying, are unimportant as long as he remains a mindless, heartless, soulless "man".

"Must be able to snooze anytime you want". This whole thing is sickening that we have someone in his position passed out behind the wheel. If he's going to sleep during these meetings, why go? Nothing will reach his teeny weeny brain. Of yeah, I forget, his wake time is from midnight to 6 am, when normal people sleep. Sundowners comes to mind.
