What if he has a second phase though?

Nah this is his second encounter after beating him at the beginning part of the game.

If their health bar is finally visible its time to spam your ults.

They kept Cheney around for 15 years after his heart gave out.

The Cheeto is going to live into his 90s.

yeah but this one never had a heart. it's more of a diploblast

Different deal. Trump's frontal cortex dementia is not a thing they can fix or transplant. By this summer he'll be mostly kept out of public view. Hell, looks like his keepers are hiding him now and again as is.

Trump’s frontal cortex dementia

I love how people talk like they're neurologists consulting on a CAT scan after watching fifteen seconds of CSPAN footage set to the Benny Hill theme.

By this summer he’ll be mostly kept out of public view. Hell, looks like his keepers are hiding him now and again as is.

I heard this shit back in Trump 1. Rapidly deteriorating! Months to live! He'll be replaced by his body double, Alec Baldwin, the moment there's a distraction!

How many videos from MDs and psychiatrists you want? Give me a number. I'm not pulling this out of my own shiny butthole. People far smarter than I are pointing out the same symptoms, and their messages all agree.

And c'mon, are you saying there isn't a clear difference in the man's behavior? Yeah, he was obviously going downhill the first time around, but at this point he's fallen off the cliff. I'm actually watching him, not deriving my opinion from social media. (And it's fucking painful.)

  • There are days where Trump simply disappears. Call me a conspiracy nut, but I think his handlers are hiding him now and again.

  • His Truth Social posts are far more manic than ever. This was a thing that accelerated toward the end of his first Presidency. Now he's gone from a dozen or so posts a night to pushing 200.

  • His temper is far worse and almost out of his control. Mark me, he'll figuratively shit himself in the next few months. OTOH, they seem to have him on good drugs, dunno.

  • His funky gait is undeniable, and many doctors have pointed to it. Watch him swing his leg out in a semicircle. Many doctors have pointed to that as a clear symptom of frontal cortex dementia.

And FFS, just listen to him speak. He has never struggled like he does today. Watch the Prime Minister of Japan lead him around like a toddler. If our grandfather was acting like this we would have had him in a home 2-years ago. My take is that he really started crashing around 2022. We'll let the historians shake that out. :)

And FWIW, I was dating a nurse during Trump 1.0. Her job is caring for elderly dementia and Alzheimer's patients. Trump's issues were clear as day to her.

tl;dr: I can bring all the evidence, from medical doctors, that you would like to see or read.

Stroke. Stroke. Stroke. Stroke!

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Ok, I'll be ecstatic when he dies but not so much that I'll stroke one out.

Orrrrrrr? No, I'll just throw a little party...with hookers and blackjack!!

A quote from the redacted Epstein files?

Look what you've done look at what the onion has to retort to look like comedy... The old barely believable doesn't cut it anymore.

Oh so that's what that is. Thought that was the child rape victim count; felt low.

The Frighteners-style, hopefully

This image seems to be saying he's got 31 years left.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Maybe it's 31 seconds

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Um, that's not how health bars work.

It needs a status condition icon, like:
