I’d predict that if the White House is FORCED to make a statement about this (and they may be if it continues for many days), they will claim Bell’s palsy, rather than a stroke. Because BP can be temporary and recovery is possible.
“Stroke,” on the other hand, inevitably brings up questions of the 25th Amendment.
And now Questions are Being Asked™ about Trump’s news conference yesterday:
Yet throughout the four-minute-long video, dozens appeared to spot some ‘glitchy movements’, noting changes to Trump’s hand, the background and even his mouth that ‘looks off at parts in the video.’
Less than 20 seconds into the video, viewers noted Trump’s hand appears to jump and his ring finger ‘goes missing’ and blends into his right hand.
“Weird moment at 19 seconds in. I feel like I’m losing my mind,” one said on Twitter though they followed-up claiming Trump has ‘such weird tics that he’s a guy who talks like he’s AI generated.’
Dozens more queried if the entire video or at least parts of it have been made with AI, saying they felt like they were ‘tripping’ watching it.
“Just look at his hands the whole time. The proof is there. No need to look for the more subtle hints,” users on Reddit said.
“I mean his ring finger straight up disappears. No shrooms needed.”
“Well he has been posting other ai videos lately so it wouldn’t surprise me,” another chimed.
However, many more said they believed the hitches were signs the footage was edited using a specific technique.
“It’s a common editing tool called a ‘Morph Edit’ that you use when you can’t get everything in one take, so, you take the end of the first take plus the start of the other take and the editing program ‘Morphs’ them into a single take,” a tech-savvy Redditor explained. “Very common tool that has been around for years before AI was a thing.”
Myself, If I had to guess I’d say the being on his head simply had the hiccups while pulling his strings.
I also watched his embarrassing speech this morning. People here talk a lot about how awful/ unwell he looks. I must admit, aside from his ugly - inside and out- head, I didn’t always get it. Holy cow, I get it now. He looked and sounded like one foot in the grave. My first thought was the same as others’, dude had a stroke. That portion of my post could go in the schadenfreude thread.
The disgraced, CONVICTED FELON pissed me off today with his despicable, fecking rambling about his own stupid shit at what was meant to be a somber, thoughtful event. It was clear he was simply reading what had been written for him, probably for the first time. No emotion or inflection. No, not until he went off on his reprehensible little tirade. I shudder to think what he’s going to say at the funeral (which I will not watch).
Because it was the fault of the liberal press to ask him a tough question at such a time! How can you expect him to give you the kind of answer any decent human being would give at a time like this?
So, Russia gets Ukraine and Poland, apparently, and the US gets exclusive control of European petroleum sales?
Was that the deal you made with Putin Donny?
So Donald apparently IS aware of how many millions of people have noticed that he never follows through in sanctioning his darling Vlad.
Now: the perfect excuse!!! So long as one person on the planet purchases something from Russia, Donald CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT impose sanctions!!!11!!!1!!!
