  1. Newsweek is reporting that it’s about moving Space Command to Alabama. Sounds like they just want him in front of a camera.

  2. Probably just the dumbass “Department of War” name change.

  3. Sorry to be the Debbie downer but if anyone actually expects him to mention anything with his health you’re sorely mistaken. He’s the pinnacle of health. No one does health better than him, believe me

  4. Trump is gonna sit in front of a teleprompter for 5 minutes and slur his way through some nothingburger announcement, and the corporate media will be like “see? this proves that liberals had TDS to have questions about why he was MIA for a week!”

  5. For anyone still out of the loop, he’s moving Space Command to Alabama. There is zero reason to have a televised address other than the fact that they saw everyone talking about how much he looks like shit, so they’re gonna do what happened when he got Covid.

    Crank him full of drugs and put him on camera for a few minutes to make it seem like he isn’t incredibly unwell.

  6. Here comes the “War Drpartment”. Will give his MAGAt drones a boner.

  7. Moving space force command to Alabama.

    Literally zero citizens give a flying flip.

  8. I’ve never been so disappointed to find out that someone was alive.

  9. This is to distract from the 2pm Congress return and Thomas Massie filing a discharge petition.

  10. Six minutes of test pattern followed by a postponement.

    How very auspicious.

  11. Are they having trouble reanimating his corpse or what

  12. I just want to see his appearance and move on with my day

    Guy makes even the most mundane aspects of life hellish

  14. These delays do nothing to stymie the rumors of his ill health.

  15. Hilarious.. this is the only thing on his schedule for a whole week and he still can’t make it on time.

  16. Hey, Conservatives reading this thread – genuine question.

    According to y’all, Biden was completely infirm, half dead, and a corpse – yet he made it to his own announcements on time. What’s up with that?

  18. They waited too long and he’s sundowning now.

  19. Jesus. They have to be dealing with something he can’t hide. They had all day to get him ready and now they are going for another delay?

    This entire thing is supposed to be a proof of life. Scheduling it when you didn’t know if Trump could do it was bad enough. Bumping that schedule makes it worse.

    Smart they didn’t make it a primetime address or something. That would have been much, much worse, and not just because Trump is sundowning!

    If I were one of his people, I’d be calling Netanyahu and asking him to claim he and Trump had to talk about something super important and that was why Trump was late for the address he scheduled. Probably the only world leader who would help Trump here.

  20. Now delayed until the top of the hour. I know he’s always late but this is a bit much even for him.

  21. I’m honestly just grateful that something is wrong enough with him that they just can’t explain it away. Can only hope it hurts, too

  22. Real talk, no jokes, it definitely has to be that his meds haven’t kicked in and right now, as we speak, he is a fucked up mess and not ready to be on TV.

    Talk about dispelling the death rumors, lmao.

  23. In a weird way, it’s kind of impressive to look both dehydrated and gelatinous

  25. “From the time I was a baby until now, I said, ‘Who did that?”. Now I say it was AI.

    So he’s saying that AI caused him to soil himself?

  26. Anything bad is from AI but we’re substantially leading because of it. Trillions.

    ….what?

  27. Anyone else still watching only because they wanna see if the amphetamine wears off?

    >Trump announces that we just “shot out a drug-carrying boat” coming out of Venezuela and that we’ll see the news soon??

    >o ok

    >[screenshot of a Marco Rubio tweet that reads “As @potus just announced moments ago, today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Carribean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.”

    The tweet misspelled “Caribbean” so I’m guessing that Rubio was not planning to put out that tweet today, did it himself, and did so because he was prompted to by Trump surprise-announcing that fact.

  29. “I don’t know the judge said” and then proceeded to say EXACTLY WHAT THE JUDGE SAID IN THE SAME SENTENCE LMFAOOO

  30. Oooo that last question set him off.

    Whats wrong Donny? Do you need a nappy?

  31. Well that was abrupt, “thank you” must’ve been the signal to abort.

  32. That last question ended the press conference pretty quickly and that one lady sure did usher them out pretty fast.

  33. I think i speak for all of us when I say: “godfuckindamnitwhatawasteoftimeicantbelievehesstillkickin”
