At what point should we be asking for proof of life?
Donald Trump spent his 2024 “campaign” canceling events left and right, and coming off as fully senile and mostly deceased when he did appear in public. After he was named the winner, Trump pretty much disappeared from public view. He showed his face at one UFC event but then vanished.
Now Trump has also gone about five days without posting anything on any social media platform (aside from the pro forma stuff that his staff has been posting on Truth Social on his behalf). Trump has, for intents and purposes, vanished. He’s nowhere.
Who wins a presidential election and then just… disappears? This is not in any way normal. Yet for some reason we’re not seeing any coverage about the fact that Trump has vanished. The media dishonestly carried Trump across the finish line by downplaying the fact that he’s a fully senile recently convicted felon. Now that the media got what it wished for, the media is continuing to normalize Trump by failing to ask why he’s vanished.
But regardless of the media’s ongoing failures, Trump’s declining psychical and especially cognitive health continue to be the biggest story in all of this. Either Trump is in such bad shape that his babysitters are forcibly keeping him hidden, or Trump is so far gone that his handlers can’t convince him to do anything. Either way, it’s fully disqualifying.
Because the media was unwilling to do its job, the public just unwittingly elected a severe dementia patient as President. Now that dementia patient is in hiding. This is reaching Weekend at Bernie’s level absurdity. At what point should we be asking for proof of life?
