I hope we never see or hear from him again, and that his fucking family is right behind him.

But he might still be in the WH, hiding from the media after recent events in Iran.

And missing pilots.

So worried he can't golf, chase women, or eat hamberders.

But maybe he is worried about how those events will affect the midterms and what a Dem Congress would mean for him.

Maybe he thought that a quick win in Iran would boost his approval numbers. Now that it's going badly, his approval is sinking.

He is only losing sleep because Iran is not handing over their oil fast enough for him.

I don't think Trump cares about the elections or congress.
No one can or will stop him and he knows it.

I don't think he cares about approval numbers either.

He has three years left to steal as much money and resources as he can.
This is his focus.

his world will collapse when a Dem Congress impeaches and convicts him, then charges him and his cronies with crimes. He has already mentioned his concerns about that.

That's a real knee-slapper. Let me catch my breath. That miserable SOB hasn't worked hard a single day in his entire life. Why would he start now?

He’s probably perfectly fine, and will play into it as the resurrected Christ for Easter. He can’t let some loser like Jesus take up an entire day.

Seriously, there are too many items all over the internet to think it's a fluke.

Edit to add : All he has to do to quell the "rumors" is to post a live snippet saying that he is well and the rumors are false. Waiting.

Overcompensating. It’s Saturday night when he’s usually at home to golf for the weekend.

My guess is he is receiving treatment for something, that’s why he didn’t go home to golf.

in order to keep them quiet.

I do not know. I’m just guessing about possible scenarios.

What I did notice is how surprisingly brief his Wednesday evening televised speech was.

Plus, he made NO attempt to address what the public is starting to notice: the economy that’s sagging, while he basically avoided any explanation(s) for it. And we’ve heard his claims that things will get better soon. He’s been 2 or 3 weeks-ing it for awhile now. Over more than a month, at least.

and take credit for the rescue. Far-fetched, maybe, but it wouldn't surprise me. I don't think he's dead because we couldn't be that lucky.
