I think you’ve just put more thought into this plan than the dead man ever did. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Trump was not at Mar-a-Lago this weekend. Now that’s interesting, because Trump has been at Mar-a-Lago EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND this term. Between this, the utterly deranged hospital ship tweet, and calling C-Span as John Barron, I wonder if he’s becoming too ill to travel. ---

Has that C-SPAN call been confirmed? I thought there was a high probability that it was a hoax. ---

The guy didn’t even sound as good as Stephen Colbert’s or Seth Myers’s imitations, which aren’t very good either. ---

Sounded like him to me, and he has a long history of calling into news shows. ---

The C-Span call was hilarious but too coherent and focused to be present-day Trump. ---

Actually, the article I posted does not attribute to anyone in particular the statement that Donnie wasn’t there. It’s just sitting out there in a void, not quoting the SS or anyone. So maybe he was there. 🤷🏽‍♂️ ---

According to [didtrumpgolftoday.com](http://didtrumpgolftoday.com), he hasn’t been spotted at MAL this weekend. He’s probably been cooped up in the White House all weekend, watching TV and seething. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > I’ve been surprised that something like this doesn’t happen more often. The expectation that attempted arson or assassination against the country’s elected head of government/state should happen more often than it does reflects the decay in US global standing going wider and deeper than MAGA’s regressive Christian white fundamentalist base. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > The C-Span call was hilarious but too coherent and focused to be present-day Trump. I tend to agree. But the speaker was definitely _ **trying to sound like Trump** _ (and succeeding better than most would). And of course choosing “John Barron” was intended to convince people that it was Donald himself. Given all that I’m surprised the person didn’t say something more pointed and attention-getting. Though maybe he was just trying to promote his services as an imitator… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-is-dying/1022520.md?page=83) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-is-dying/1022520.md?page=85)
