    If I remember right, it was a cancer rumor with a cancer specialist going e erywhere with him, and there is also a scar on his neck that corroborates that I believe. I dont think it was wishful thinking, just reporting a possibility (from the reporting at least - random people on the internet, different story).

    The more recent one I think is just a comment from Zelensky, so anything there would be wishful thinking as of now, I agree. I’m sure he has intel showing that to be the case, but how accurate it is? I don’t know.

    In the case of Trump, I think there is visible decline, but - and this is my opinion only - its clearly cognitive, which doesn’t mean he won’t survive for a long time. Even as basically a vegetable he could serve his purpose to the right wing.

      I think as a vegetable, he would be a much better president and human.

        Debatable, it might just end up with AI generated Trump-face and a whole lot of pretending he’s still functional while they continue to destroy the country.

        Though yeah, he’d be a better president and human being. Just not sure it would have any positive impact on the rest of us.
