I can’t help wondering if something has happened which is causing him to try to think such things into existence. It would be perfectly compatible with the rest of the “reality” he’s built around himself.

Remember that Trump grew up listening to Norman Vincent Peale’s sermons, which appear to have shaped his belief that if he visualizes/thinks about something that benefits him, it’ll happen.

That’s nothing new.

He has already told us he thinks he has magical powers.

Again I think we are over thinking this. The video shows Trump solving all of humanities health problems. So since it portrays him as a hero Trump likes it and reposts it. Whether or not it is real, or even remotely plausible is irrelevant.

Good lord. A conspiracy theory? Any rational person knows this is just a joke.
Oh… Never mind.

Trump is back to media avoidance weirdness again, which could be an indicator of failing health. He recently gave an interview to CNN… via text:
> **[Trump’s Texts to CNN Host Renew Health Speculation](https://www.yahoo.com/news/videos/cnn-viewers-demanded-proof-life-160955661.html)**
>
> CNN viewers demanded “proof of life” after the 79-year-old president conducted the interview entirely by text.
He also recently avoided the media for four days straight (right after the government shutdown) and has a fresh bruise on his hand. It seems like he has some appointment scheduled for around the end of each month to treat some ongoing issue and he’s been getting these treatments for several months.

It’s probably some reanimation treatment.

Probably getting himself injected with the blood of children to reset his internal organs and rejuvenate. Ironically, QAnon had the right idea, just the wrong target.

Why not try it on him first? He could get the Noble prize in Physiology or Medicine.

More than just ironic. Every conspiracy they ascribed to the Left with no evidence, is now blatantly committed by the Right with overwhelming evidence, including openly admitting to it.

It’s the only way that they could get his Fat Stinking Golf Cheating Ass into the Hall of Presidents at EPCOT.

Or it’s just a lot of work to apply the spackle and orange paint to his face just for a CNN interview. Not to mention his hairdo, which surely requires a full can of ozone-depleting hair spray and a lot of work to get three stands of hair to mimic a full head of hair.
Or maybe he was just tired after a long week of terrorizing people with his unTruth Social shitposts.

On that note, October 10 could be the day his (and our) suffering ends. I figure when the Nobel Peace prize gets announced and it goes to the January 6 Committee, Trump will stroke out and die. Whether Vance helps him along with a pillow (courtesy of Mike Lindell, naturally) or not is anyone’s guess.

OK, this made me laugh. I wondered when we would hear from MyPillow Guy again.

I saw a guy on an airplane today who had short thinning hair over a tattoo of locks of hair on his head. Maybe Trump could try that.

While he was addressing the generals and admirals, Trump went on an irrelevant digression about how Biden kept falling down, and how he avoids it himself by taking things slowly. What that probably means is that Trump himself has been falling a lot, and his doctor advised him to take things slowly. That could be why he has bruised hands. We don’t know what other parts of him are bruised.
