Are any MAGA concerned?
- Thread starter UrHuckleberry
- Start date
Like I know Biden wasn't out and about, doing interviews, etc, so not at all interested in a comparison. I just wonder at what point they are concerned.
Personally I do think he's sick. He and his sons, etc, are way too present online to not quash all the rumors. But that doesn't mean he's dying, etc.
The internet has been going wild with speculation the last few days and since we know he stays up til the wee hours of the morning tweeting, his last tweet before 10:00PM last night just added to the mystery. It's also abnormal for his tweets not to end with insults, lol.
Right, there are tons of rumors, and the above does nothing really.
But for the board MAGA, I am really curious when they become concerned. Internet liberals are often over the top (just like the MAGA influencers can be), so don't really care about their reaction.
But am curious when MAGA starts to be concerned.
He's old. Oldest sworn in president . His memory appears to be failing him. His team says he has valve problems in his veins causing blood to pool in his lower extremities. I've heard some medical experts claim he's being treated for heart disease. He looks terrible. So yah im a bit concerned his health is failing
Right. Same, and he's never really gone this long without public appearances and spamming his Truth account or whatever.
But again, I'm curious if MAGA are concerned at all, or if they just chalk it up to lefties wishful thinking etc.
I get it but just adding context for those that might not know what you're talking about because their sources aren't reporting on it. But no, I don't think he's dead, the rumors I'm seeing say it was a mini-stroke, but not sure they really know. It's just weird that he hasn't really been seen in public since last Tuesday and he cancelled a scheduled flight to an event the other day.
Oh I got you. I'm just fighting to make sure any conservatives that join in, don't take it and blow up. Because I really am curious.
I don't consider myself MAGA or even a Trump supporter. I do support some of his policies and don't support some others. But I do consider myself a conservative and I gather those are the responses you were interested in, so here goes...
Am I concerned about Trump's health? Honestly no more than I was concerned about Biden, Bush 1 or Reagan. We have system of continuity in government so that if Trump becomes incapable of doing the job then Vance can step in. In fact, there's a part of me that thinks Vance would be a little more focused and not all over the place on policies. It does test the fabric of our society with so many things going on, all these court cases, tariffs, immigration, Russia/Ukraine....most people can't deal mentally and maybe psychologically with not only the policies, executive orders, changes to said policies etc. IMO, we could use a little "calming" and that's not going to happen with Trump. He's a man who pushes the envelope on just about everything. And that has it's positives and negatives.
Def understand all that. Not sure you're all over the internet on social media to the point where you're seeing all the rumors, etc, and his absence from all the places he would normally be right now. So if you're not normally consuming all his truth socials, and seeing posts about his comings and goings, you wouldn't be concerned about the absence. If that makes sense. So was really curious about the true diehards.
Edit to add: not as a gotcha to them at all. But just curious if they think he's just laying low, and liberals are blowing it up. Or if they think he is sick, but they hope he'll be fine. Or if they are really concerned.
not on truth social, and definitely do not believe much of what's on the internet.
What a perfect microcosm of the left’s obsession with one man. I didn’t even notice it, that’s how concerned I am. Do you guys just sit on blue sky and other lib boards hoping he dies? So weird and unhealthy.
zero.
The only rumor I have heard is a bruised hand and swollen legs.
MAGA has amazing depth with Vance and Rubio anyway. They carry the torch for years to come.
Democrats need to focus on themselves and what they can do to recover from appointing the worst candidate in US Political history and how they can help Americans.
The health stuff is just a distraction from how unpopular the Democratic Party has become.
I forgot to mention...I lived through the Nixon resignation. There was the expected hand wringing, but we made it through that OK. Hell, we even were able to survive a Gerald Ford presidency
It's literally all over social media and MSM. That doesn't make it true but wild that it hasn't reached you, though I'm sure it's due to your algorithm.
Donald Trump posting week-old photo raises eyebrows amid health speculation
There have been continued rumors that the U.S. President is in ill health.
www.newsweek.com
Good call. MAGA certainly never concerned themselves with Biden’s health, and barely ever posted about the leader of the free world’s cognitive decline, or lack of talking to the press and making public appearances.
Oh yeah, to be clear, I am not worried etc. Was just curious if at any point MAGA would be.
Rightfully so, he’d go years without talking to the media. What’s it been for Trump? Two days? You started a thread on this because you’re obsessed with orange man.
Not MAGA, but not concerned about Trump’s … mental health … at least not from a cognitive decline perspective. Being ahole is not a medical condition.
(I am “concerned” that he is obese. If I was one of his kids I’d be all over him to exercise more, eat better, and lose weight)
I will say this … attempting to draw comparison to Biden’s CLEAR mental decline (I’d argue he was a bag of nuts BEFORE he took office) is on brand for the Dems. Out of touch, lazy and unoriginal (except for batshit crazy stupid ideas and policies) … ^this and the D candidate being a utter MORON (and the most unlikable fake person to ever peruse the presidency) is why the Dems lost in 2024 AND will lose in 2028.

personally, and this is just my opinion, I don't think that a segment of what you refer to as MAGA would be totally upset is Trump were to pass the torch, right now, to Vance. The "movement" as some refer to it is more based on policy rather than personality, again IMO. I talk to quite a few MAGAs and a lot of them are not the trump cultists they are made out to be. They like the policies - immigration, taxes, defense, boys in girls sports, end the Ukraine/Russia war, support Israel, crime fighting, tariffs (not so sure of the support on that one) but they could do without the gruffness, name calling of trump.
In the end, Vance would not have defeated Kamala. Republicans needed trump for that, and again IMO, voters who had forgotten the chaos of the first Trump administration voted against a second Biden term. Kamala blew that answer of saying she would change nothing.
Again, I have no way of proving any of this, all theory.
I don’t know about the bold … she was and IS objectively terrible.
I’m not convinced a lot of it is not a cult of personality that will leave with Trump. At a minimum, the MAGA voting block will likely end up more split in the primaries among a few candidates (again, all just a guess, who really knows).
Not sure why you're making this about Kamala but his theory isn't that wild when you consider she got the 3rd most votes in history and only lost the popular vote by 1.47%. Hence, I too believe it's likely she would have beaten Vance.
???? I’m not making “this” about Kamala … well I guess I am now, because I’m being directly asked.
Anywhoozie
ALL the reasons Kamala lost wouldve still been present rather she ran against Trump or Vance
- she’s a c*
- VP from a failed admin
-etc
BUT there would’ve been a swing on the Vance side ….the Biden admin was so terrible and SO disliked by both moderates and MAGAs alike …. MAGAs would’ve still turned out BUT the moderates and never-Trumpers would’ve been behind Vance, IMO. If Vance was top of ticket … I would’ve voted for him versus writing in my neighbor.
Both Hillary and Kamala were both horrible candidates. Hillary had the resume obviously but too much history and was never going to sway anyone middle center with the last name Clinton. And Kamala just wasn’t a great candidate period. Not very likeable truly.
I mean, it's fine that you're not worried about it, though there is rampant speculation all over the web that he's had a stroke and you've got to admit, it's odd for him to not take questions since last Tuesday.
But your post did directly pivot to Biden and Kamala and you even followed up with a second post to call her terrible. We'll just have to disagree because regardless of how bad she might have been, it's clear that the cult of Trump is what drove so many to the polls, while Vance was still a virtual unknown, relatively speaking.
But anyhoo, back to the subject, since it appears his medical condition "may" be more than just being "an @sshole", the OP wants to know if that worries you.
I haven’t seen anything that would make me “concerned” … and sorry … “speculation” by a group of people who are grasping at ANYTHING to take down Trump will not cause me to show a ounce of concern.
(speaking in general here) if Trump announced tye cure for cancer, eliminated world hunger, brokered peace in the Middle East you’d still find fault with anything and everything he has done.
if you Dems found and backed a current 1992 version of Bill Clinton … you’d run away with 2028 and 2032.

Wrong, I approve of what he's done at the border and I appreciate him wading into the fvcked up world of NIL, but on the whole, he's done much more damage to the world and our country in particular than any good he could do and there was a time that you would have felt the same, but there's been an obvious change in sentiment coming from you now.
I disagree that it's speculation simply to take Trump down because there are plenty of signs that something is amiss, so of course the internet is abuzz over it - though I'm sure there are many that are looking forward to the obituary as well.
Personally think he ate some of them Walmart shrimp
Again .. I was speaking in general, when I said “you”.
I don’t think there has been a change in “my” position on Trump. I’ve always agreed with A LOT of the policies, but have rejected him because integrity matters. I’ve said that multiple times.
I don’t agree that he has damaged the country or at least I’m not ready to agree. The tariffs DO make me uneasy, but I do think it’s an objective truth that we (the US) were being taken advantage of in every corner of the world. Something needed to be be done … were tariffs the right thing? Time will tell …
there are some other things as well … for example stripping benefits from Transgender Military personnel and the proposal of criminalizing burning the American flag …. But again … I’m not MAGA and not a Trump supporter sooooooo
Tomorrow after the markets open and they can sell everything and not lose a whole lot of money would make sense if there is something up.
China Russia and India are meeting. They seem to think they have a play at world control due to the tarrif nonesense
Futures were up slightly last night and open up unchanged this morning. The reaction to any news since Friday is muted.
