Eyebrows raised as rump amid health speculation posts week-old photo

Published Sep 01, 2025 at 8:23 AM EDT

... Amid continued concerns about his physical well-being, Trump posted an image of himself playing golf with a former football coach. But, given the photo was taken a week ago, people raised concerns about a potential attempt to hoodwink the public about the true state of the president's condition ...

On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump posted a photo of a golf trip with former football coach Jon Gruden. "Great playing Golf with Jon Gruden - A really nice guy, and true character!" he wrote on Sunday.

However, posting on X, people pointed out that the image is a week old.

Travis Akers, a retired U.S. Navy intelligence officer wrote: "I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, but if you're fighting off increasing rumors that you may have suffered a major medical episode and to disprove that rumor and provide proof of life, you post a picture of allegedly playing golf with Jon Gruden today, it would be beneficial to post one that wasn't from August 23rd" ...

It’s creepy beyond words how much strongmen and dictators think alike — and, it must be said, how much Putin seems to be whispering in his ears.

4. I'll be so disappointed if he doesn't die on camera in some humiliating fashion.

It'll still be great, but not as great.

Also, unless he's pronounced dead in real-time and on live tv worldwide, his fuckhead KKKultists will refuse to believe it. They'll say that he's still alive, fighting the good fight, or that evil Democrats have him chained up somewhere.

Debt (pay per view) if we all were able to give him what he deserves. Like in Handmaids tale where all the women gather together and throw stones at the guy who led what was happening to them.

And she blabbed all the details.

Or if one of the women or kids he rapes defended themselves with a gun or knife.

Would be a karmic ending to his life.

and land on the tarmac a quadriplegic who can only rage tweet with eyeball movements.

The SCOTUS will require Melanoma to feed him and wipe his butt until his dying breath. I suspect he will expire soon after that court order takes effect.

on his health and appearance. An on-air, MASSIVE stroke that doesn’t quite kill him. I want him too ashamed of his sagging face and the sounds and drool coming out of his mouth to be seen in front of a camera. That’s a most perfect kind of hell for him.
