He is having severe breathing problems that he cannot hide.
DU medics weigh in please

Oh and he is still stark raving mad.

1. He doesn't just sound deranged, he sounds like he's dying.

Lots of snorting and sucking his breath in.

[malaise]

3. Serious breathing problems

WTF!
The stocking market is brilliant

[hannah]

4. Gasping for breath

Why is Rubio standing so close. Weird

[LuvLoogie]

115. Rubio has the ODO-BAN spray for when that sin sucking racist shits his pants.

[wnylib]

119. To catch him when he collapses.

A very dangerous job for Rubio. Imagine that smelly hulk crashing down in you.

[ananda]

72. Congestive heart disease? Advanced?

??

[Diamond_Dog]

90. My F-I-L died of congestive heart disease.

He had weakness and shortness of breath for almost a year before he passed away. But I think his handlers have been going to great pains to hide Trump’s symptoms from us all this time.

[ananda]

109. Marco Rubio was leaning in right behind him.

That was truly weird.

[Diamond_Dog]

110. Who can explain what these freaks do or why!

[C_U_L8R]

2. Death rattle?

[malaise]

5. Not quite

😀

[republianmushroom]

37. Damn, but one can dream.

[LtTx]

104. No. Definitely not death ratttle.

Death rattle is very very late in the the dying cycle. It happens usually hours before dying.
Also, as an RN of 40 years- he really didn't look like he was struggling any more than usual and he did speak for a hour
He appears as an 80+ year old who is not in good health and he probably does have heart failure. It is no longer referred to as "congestive health failure"-- it is heart failure, HF followed by modifiers on the ejection fraction.
Interesting that he doesn't appear as orange as usual.

So......just another day in the hell we currently inhabit.

[hookaleft]

6. where are you seeing this??

[malaise]

10. Both AlJazeera and M$NOW n/t

[Intractable]

11. MS-NOW and CNN. It's live.

[dflprincess]

12. MSNOW has it on

As does the local ABC affiliate. (I'm sure there's more options as well)

[Ilsa]

13. Fox snooze is covering it.

And what I heard was that General Caine (Kaine?) hates Trump's nickname for him, "Raisin Caine".

He's ranting and rewriting history.

[Grins]

98. Cain

[Ilsa]

125. Thank you. (There is also "Kane".) nt

[MineralMan]

7. Word Salad. His brain is not working properly.

[malaise]

9. Repeating everything he said when he was with Modi earlier

Stark raving mad is kind

[MineralMan]

20. I guess Rubio is there to catch him if he collapses.

He seems on the verge of that, to me.

[dave99]

107. little Mario would be flatten

[mwmisses4289]

51. His brain hasn't worked properly since he was born.

[Beachnutt]

8. We say we have a deal

the market shoots up, we say we don't have a deal and the market drops.
He said that, he just admitted market manipulation.

[malaise]

19. This is an international disaster of epic proportion

attacking Obama on the world stage

[Intractable]

30. Obama's library is about to open. Mr. O is getting all the good press.

Trump will be seething inside when he sees the videos of the grand opening.

[malaise]

32. Good point

Rec

[crazylikafox]

14. How embarrassing

He can’t even keep his eyes open

[Solly Mack]

15. As always, he talks up his failures as something wonderful.

[DET]

16. God, He Sounds Awful

Trouble breathing, voice weak and warbly. Worst I’ve ever seen him. He could keel over at any minute. He’s rambling incoherently, of course. Rubio and Lutnick are looking uncomfortable. If any of them had a heart, they’d get him off that stage and into a hospital.

[SamKnause]

23. We already know MAGA's don't have hearts.

I think they should rush him to the closest McDonald's and Super Size his order.

[dflprincess]

17. I think we're watching Rubio's soul die

He looks like he's imagining he's any place else.

[Intractable]

22. I think he's thinking if he puts up with this for a while, he could be president.

It's his only route to the presidency.

[PatSeg]

65. He does look especially miserable today

This is a man who knows there is no turning back and he is probably have huge regrets about his life choices. He always looks like he is in a great deal of pain.

[llmart]

81. Narcissists don't have regrets.

Not even on their death bed.

[Miguelito Loveless]

78. He then has to get rid of

Vance and Johnson.

[thesquanderer]

106. And Grassley. As Sec'y of State, Rubio is 4th in line after VP, leader of House, non-VP leader of Senate. (n/t)

[Miguelito Loveless]

116. Oops

forgot president pro tem. Grassley has his foot in the grave up to his hip.

[SamKnause]

26. I don't believe in souls but I hope Rubio is miserable every second of his life.

[PatSeg]

67. Well, that's okay

Rubio doesn't have a soul anymore, he sold his to Donald Trump.

[surfered]

53. Rubio is a collaborator.

[MLAA]

54. He has a soul? I'm shocked!

[barbtries]

66. been seeing that

ever since Jan2025

he sold his soul - it seems that doesn't sit all that well with him. most of his hangers on had no soul to lose.

[Ocelot II]

80. Whatever fully-functioning soul he might have once had has been strangled by his ambition,

but he has to know he's participating in an epic shit show, and he's probably trying to figure out how he can position himself as salvaging the mess somehow.

[Diamond_Dog]

86. He always looks like that!

[Maru Kitteh]

87. That was my thought as well.

Oh well. Maybe he can write a nice book.

[displacedvermoter]

124. Then he could stand up, get Suzie and the Secret Service

out there, and gently escort him off the stage. Say enough, as much as I hate Vance, this man is mad.

[Intractable]

18. I'm reminded of the phrase, 'When you're explaining, you're losing.'

[malaise]

24. M$NOW cuts him off

Calls it rambling and incoherent.

[dflprincess]

28. ABC still has it on

He's getting worse as it drags on.

[a kennedy]

21. We are watching him lose his mind in public and on the world stage.......gawd help us.

I AM SO EMBARRASSED BY THIS PIECE OF SHIT. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[malaise]

25. Yep

They cut him off and are fact checking him - tearing him a new one
Shit calls it incredibly incoherent and by no means accurate.
They are flagging everything he said.

[Progressive dog]

27. Thanks for watching and commenting

While I would enjoy his struggles, I try to avoid his pathological lying.

[malaise]

31. Today is lying on steroids

and the breathlessness is something else.

[Intractable]

35. The whole world is watching. Some are laughing; some are crying; some are like wtf?

[Ilsa]

29. Talking about black marble?

WTF, he's all over the place. Talking about cameras everywhere, I guess in Iran at the nuclear enrichment sites.

Now he's lying about Iran's readiness to go nuclear. And Rubio is scratching or rubbing his left flank like he has shingles or something.

[malaise]

33. Incoherent

on steroids - a genius primitive culture!

[Botany]

42. "A genius primitive people smart but primitive but so are we smart and we don't bomb people @ breakfast

… and what about Herbert Hoover he raised taxes which caused the depression”. … Sucking wind sound

He is out to lunch.

Btw The Obama deal stopped Iran from having the means to enrich nuclear material.

[underpants]

75. Maybe Rubio is signaling someone

As in “get him off the stage”

[Norrrm]

34. Is the crowd sleeping?

Yeah! Lots of

[malaise]

36. He doesn't know he's speaking in Europe?

WTF?

[Jim__]

38. In the little bit I listened to, he was just incoherently rambling.

[Totally Tunsie]

39. It's nice to see him looking so poorly,

but what the hell is he babbling about? Why would he begin to think (I know, i know) that this is "world stage" content?

LOL at Rubio - he just wants to be anyplace but...

[HighFired49]

40. Total freaking psycho!

Embarrassing us on the world stage. "I did this! Couldn't have been done by anyone else!" all the while criticizing past leaders. Wandering off into Never Never Land and making up crap that others would, could, or might say. "No president ever did this before ME!" PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!

[Intractable]

41. He reads from his script, but then stop to ad lib.

Some of these improvised verbalizations would be hysterically funny if they didn't have worldwide consequences.

[malaise]

46. This is absolute madness

He has dementia - he doesn’t even know what he is saying

[Klarkashton]

43. Sounds like Fred Flintstone when he gets busted

By Wilma.

[displacedvermoter]

77. Hummina, hummina, hummina...

Ralph Kramden when he gets busted by Alice.

[allegorical oracle]

44. Maybe he needs his adenoids removed. This whole speech is a debacle. nt

[MorbidButterflyTat]

45. Who is the bald guy smirking and smiling and inching away from him?

He sounds absolutely INSANE.

The US went to hell when the election was stolen from him. INSANE!

[malaise]

49. That is kind

M$NOW cut him again

[AStern]

55. Howard Lutnick

He looks like an idiot laughing at his stupid "jokes"

[MorbidButterflyTat]

59. Thanks.

He's been gradually moving away from Piggy and Rubio looks like he's clicking his heels together wanting to go home.

Now Rubio is practically on Piggy's back. WTF?

[allegorical oracle]

64. Rubio's probably wearing his djt-gifted clown shoes.... nt

[MorbidButterflyTat]

113. .

[Ars Longa]

47. Holy Cow! This is an incoherant, disturbing mess.......

Other parliamentary style countries would be having talks/votes
about removal shortly!

[Intractable]

52. We have a two-party-only system, which makes impeachment and removal a practical impossibility.

[DET]

48. I Wonder How Republicans are Going to Spin This

They’ll try to ignore it, but there’s no getting around this fiasco. This is the complete mental and physical breakdown of the President of the United States on the world stage.

[Wednesdays]

91. And to think, this is just the BEGINNING.

We still have 2 and a half more years to go.

And no, he's not going to be impeached and removed, nor removed via the 25th, no matter how much we wish it. The only way he goes is if he takes his final dirt nap.

In the meantime, we'll continue to watch his gradual mental decline in real time.

[malaise]

99. That breathing won't last two years

That’s the good news

[maxsolomon]

92. they'll simply deny reality.

they always do.

[NJCher]

121. Cool

Im onlyreading because i am waiting for my car at the mechanic's.

Thanks for the play by play.

Will watch for commentary tonight on tv.

[dflprincess]

50. It's 6:34 pm in France

Sundowning on display?

[surfered]

56. All those Diet Cokes, Big Macs, and fries are finally kicking in.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

57. tRiump is a total embarrassment. How I miss Biden and Obama - true Statesmen. Kamala would have impressed & charmed.

[Grim Chieftain]

58. My 91-year-old father-in-law just texted us to say Trump is totally insane

Listening to Trump at the G7 he is incredulous this idiot is still in office. He thinks this finally is the tipping point, there is no coming back from this. OMG - make it stop!!!!!

Dear god, how we have fallen.

[malaise]

61. Insane is mild

Seriously

[barbtries]

60. not a doctor but personal opinion

congestive heart failure.

ETA depravity and dementia as well, of course. he's dying in every way imaginable.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

74. Yes. My relative was diagnosed w/CHF. He had swollen ankles & breathing problems before he died. nt

[BlueHurricane]

62. Does no one else notice how set-up the "questions" from the reporters seem?

This is so staged. A “reporter” mentioning how “a wise man once said…” and then is like that man was you Mr. Trump, is how they start a question. GTFO. There is no way anyone mentions the Art of the deal book in a question that was not 100% written by the White House. They need to not be able to pick on who he wants. These “reporters” are so staged. It’s disgusting.

[malaise]

70. Good spot

Rec

[PatSeg]

71. Yes, I noticed that as well

Clearly that "reporter" appears to be a Trump guy.

[Wednesdays]

94. The only reporters they let near him are "Trump Guys" anymore. nt

[PatSeg]

123. I've noticed he has called on

a lot more women reporters than men and then he insults them.

[Totally Tunsie]

101. That "reporter" is Peter Doocy of FOX snooze...

son of Steve Doocy, also of FOX, from whom he learned the proper way to kiss chump's ass.

No big surprises here. Daddy taught him well.

[twodogsbarking]

63. Where I grew up they would say "nature taking its course".

[Maru Kitteh]

68. He doesn't control the microphone there. He does at home. He ALWAYS has this

much trouble breathing, but the microphone in the WH and WH-controlled settings is always on his body, where you can avoid more of the “whoosh” sound of him sucking air. On the body it’s easier to emphasize the lower and warmer tones in a voice.

He has the typical patterns and signs of heart failure, in my opinion, in addition to the obvious signs of stroke. That right side of his face just gets lazier and lazier. It’s sliding off his skull half the time, especially at rest. Which is often on camera, in the oval.

[twodogsbarking]

69. This is what happens to an elderly white man who has no ballroom.

Hell hath no ballroom either.

[mountain grammy]

73. If you're an American right now

and you're not embarrassed, you're dumb.. and that's dumb with a 'B'

[Maru Kitteh]

76. Afghanistan is kissing our ass?

Was he trying to say he still plans to “win” the war in Afghanistan?

[malaise]

83. He ended by saying there is no agreement

93. He also did his usual "rigged elections" riff. If the election was rigged, how did he get

elected for a second term? He's nothing but a clusterf**k of memes that he's memorized.

[Maru Kitteh]

122. perfect nt

[IbogaProject]

79. I could not care less

But I do hope he festers w severe imparement and lives long enough for everyone to move on from him and even begin to try and distance theselves from him. I want him unable to speak clearly and to need bedside care. I want him to suffer rebuke, being ignored and at the mercy of helpers.

[Beachnutt]

82. CNBC cut him off

The world needs to see this madman.

[Ars Longa]

84. I hope somebody prints out the full text of

whatever that was. That was next level...!!!

[malaise]

85. No concern for the dead Iranian little girls

That was sickening

[ashredux]

88. FULL-BLOWN DEMENTIA.... God help us.

89. Agree

[Mossfern]

95. Is there somewhere that this is available on line?

I missed all of it and have a doc's appointment shortly.
I would like to see it myself.

I've only been able to watch 7 minutes - I'll get back to it later

[Kali]

105. I think this is it

I'm having internet connection problems and can't get videos to play but I suspect that is it.

[Beartracks]

96. Lord help US, what an embarrassment.

[ToxMarz]

97. They should have put up scaffolding and hung a tarp in front of him

[malaise]

100. You win the thread

😀

[AnotherMother4Peace]

102. And he just doesn't shut up. It's like he has verbal diarrhea. It just keeps coming out of his ugly mouth. nt

[maxsolomon]

111. When he rambles, he accomplishes his goals

1. Prevent anyone else from speaking.
2. Run out the clock. The longer he bullshits, the fewer questions that can be asked.

[patphil]

103. Here's Trump speaking at G-7

He sounds awful.
He sounds like he should be on oxygen, or even in a hospital bed.
Unfortunately, it's the same bullshit spewing forth from his mouth.

108. From another source

This is the most painful presser to listen to he’s ever done

Incoherent babbling, in between gasping for air

112. 776 more posts to go and counting! Excellent!

[malaise]

114. LOL

😀

[MustLoveBeagles]

120. That's really saying something

All of his pressers are terrible.

[marble falls]

117. Can't wait for the blooper reel. Sounds like he's going into a heart attack. I hope he resists all offers of help.

[bif]

118. His gasping for breath made me smile!

Here's hoping the Grim Reaper pays him a visit soon.
