    Okay, well you didn’t have any more questions for me to answer. I guess you just don’t understand it, then. That’s fine.

      Okay, well you didn’t have any more questions for me to answer.

      i actually had:

      what would be the conspiracy behind “someone else” writing this stupid tweet?

      but don’t worry if you don’t really understand it enough to answer, that is fine 😂

        Why are you so mad? Just out here to fight strangers, lol. It’s cool to not get why others think a thing is funny, but you don’t have to lash out at people. Take a chill pill or something, yeesh.

        My 2¢, despite not being asked, is this: The strange stuff at Walter Reed could be that he’s hopped up on drugs due to recent medical needs, thus making him loopy. It could also be that he was indisposed and the post was written by an aide to keep up appearances. Based on the way it’s written I’d lean towards an aide posting.

        They did have to come out and directly say that he wasn’t dead, so a post from apparently the man himself would help that angle.

            Lol, big “I know you are but what am I?” energy on this peep. Or are you more of an “I’m rubber and you’re glue” fan? I think you’re mad cause you be jumping down throats. Calm and decent people don’t usually do that.

                You do you friend. I’m three posts in this thread whilst you’re all over it like white on rice. I personally think it’s hilarious though. I do feel like this conversation is going nowhere, you being rubber and all, so I’m gonna dip. I don’t know what time it is where you are atm, but try to get a full night’s sleep and drink some water. Cheers 💓

                Edit: I am now several posts deeper in this thread so my above dismissal doesn’t count anymore lol. I did go to bed between this and my next post though.

                It is absolutely hilarious to poke fun at this person too, so I had to come back.

        Oh, you did ask a question! I didn’t read carefully enough. Thanks for quoting it for me, so that I could better identify what I missed.

        Many believe that Trump did not write this tweet because it is not written in his usual tone/voice/cadence/vernacular. It just doesn’t sound like something he wrote.

        The post title is a joke playing off that and the rumors of his death this weekend, although I believe he had made a public appearance this morning (not 100% sure), so the rumors were not correct.

        The “conspiracy” would just be a weekend at bernies type situation where they are covering up the president’s health issues or lack of life. It’s already been happening consistently with his incontinence, dementia, and hand bruises, so there is precedence. I’m sure Vance would be happy to step forward but he is generally known to be unpopular outside of Peter Thiel’s circle within the GOP and does not have the “charisma” that Trump uses to command his MAGA base.

        It is just a joke post, originally to a shitpost community, and now crossposted to a political meme community. The original post got a significant number of upvotes, this crosspost is gaining, and you’re already being voted down, so it seems that you’re kinda alone with this reaction. Everyone else appears to have understood it without issues.

        Any more questions?

          yeah, that may make for a funny movie, but it really makes no sense in real life.

          I’m sure Vance would be happy to step forward but he is generally known to be unpopular outside of Peter Thiel’s circle within the GOP and does not have the “charisma” that Trump uses to command his MAGA base.

          you think if trump were dead, vance would what - not accept the office because he does not have the charisma and rather let someone publish tweets to pretend tump is alive? lol.

          The original post got a significant number of upvotes, this crosspost is gaining, and you’re already being voted down

          if your life is orchestrated by upvotes and downvotes, then i feel truly sorry for you. and let me remind you trump won popular vote, so enjoy your vox populi. no need to reply further.

            It does make for a funny joke on a meme community, though.

            Also, as I stated, there is already precedence for this happening, both in the current Trump administration’s cover up of health problems, as well as in US history. Woodrow Wilson was incapacitated from a stroke, and the first lady, Edith Wilson, effectively acted as president for several years, in a cover up.

            you think if trump were dead, vance would what - not accept the office because he does not have the charisma and rather let someone publish tweets to pretend tump is alive? lol.

            Consider that Vance could be kept unaware of the death by Trump’s circle, as well, while they figure out how to handle it and continue forward. The performance tweet could be as much for Vance as it is for the public.

            Again, there is direct historical precedence for this. Why did Woodrow Wilson’s vice president, Thomas Marshall, not step forward to take the presidency from him? The answer is that he was not popular with the rest of his party (like Vance), so was also kept in the dark about Wilson’s stroke and the fact that Edith Wilson was acting in Wilson’s place.

            lol. if your life is orchestrated by upvotes and downvotes, then i feel truly sorry for you. and let me remind you trump won popular vote, so enjoy your vox populi.

            I’m not really sure what you mean by life being orchestrated by upvotes and downvotes. The vote counts are simply evidence that hundreds of other people understood and enjoyed this joke.

            no need to reply

            That’s not really how a forum for discussion like Lemmy works.
