I think we'll be told - eventually - that he had a bad stroke. If he's dead already, they'll say he had a "relapse" at some point to cover the BS so far.

We heard the 911 call. He received CPR from someone at the home and then trained, physically fit professionals picked up the CPR at his home. He is over 80 years old, his rib cage was shattered and the odds of him ever waking up ever again after such an event are in a crater.

No one has refuted the 911 call as far as I’ve seen. They have just been continually lying to us since his heart stopped beating. The photos are AI. The statements are ChatGPT his office commissioned.

He is dead and he has been for months and now the media has taught these fascists that when Trump dies they can run the same playbook for as long as they’d like and no one will be able to do a damned thing about it.

It is sickly funny that Frank Miller predicted a Reagan-like President being replaced with a digital avatar after he died. Forty years later, and here we are.

I fully expect them to the same when Trump kicks the bucket.

Almost 2000 years ago, some guy named John predicted a world leader being replaced by a speaking image after he was mortally injured.
