I’m not sure what is going on. Apparently Trump hasn’t been seen in a few days so social media ran with that and everything you’d expect from running with social media rumors was the result. Trump was dead. He was in a coma. He was whisked off to Walter Reed hospital through barricaded streets. Through it all he kept posting the usual bonkers Truth Social gibberish, or at least SOMEBODY did. I wasn’t paying all that much attention. I spent much of the labor day weekend catching up on reading. For the record I do not believe the President is dead or in a coma or in some sort of “weekend at Bernie’s” fugue state. I suspect he was simply off the grid golfing somewhere. Or maybe playing with blocks on the floor of the Oval.
