When Trump dies, the Conspiracy Theories go into Warp Drive.

And as I’ve said before, whatever poor doctor happens to be in charge of Trump’s care when he dies will certainly be accused of either deliberate murder or, at the very least, gross incompetence for failing to save the great man.

The conspiracy theories have been beyond insane for years now. I don’t wish to see just how much further beyond insane they can get. But what the fuck, you know? Past a certain point I can summon no words besides “What the fuck”…

Worse. They’ll claim he was an operative for the Dems.

Hopefully this will impact negatively in the healthcare he receives as smart doctors foresee this kind of situation and refuse to treat him…

The same “smart” doctors who swear he’s a fantastic physical specimen with cognitive powers far beyond those of mortal men?

Their inspiration seems to be [this guy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Morell).

Exactly, hopefully all his healthcare is now in hands of “smart” people instead of _smart_ people, if you catch my drift

Like others here, every morning I wake up and ask “Is he dead yet?” I can’t post my true feelings or I’ll get on some sort of list. They all have to go. Vance, the Cabinet, the toadies in Congress, etc.

Could they do like Stalin and start killing his doctors _before_ he has a stroke?

I just hope that if it happens while he is in office, it happens before the midpoint of his term. If it happens after the midpoint, we are staring down the specter of Vance having two full terms as President on top of filling out the remainder of Trump’s current term.

If Trunt had a massive, debilitating stroke that caused him to slur his words and bark angry, paranoid, incomprehensible nonsense how would we be able to tell?

[Lawrence O’Donnell said, “If he gets dementia, how would we know?”](https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/msnbc-s-lawrence-o-donnell-calls-out-trump-s-mental-decline-it-s-from-low-to-lower/ar-AA1H6aOn)

Lawrence O’Donnell began the Wednesday, June 18, episode of _The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell_ by calling out Donald Trump for his cognitive abilities. “If Donald Trump gets dementia, how will we know?” he wondered.

The journalist continued, “Donald Trump’s mental decline, which is more and more obvious, started from such a low level of mental processing power that it’s hard to track his decline. It’s from low to lower.”

I guess he’ll get “Camera, TV, Woman” and then just trail off. No extra points for getting them in the right order.
