Did rascist grandpa have a mini stroke during the 9/11 commemoration? Is it just me, or does he look more...lopsided than usual?

Could just be the light and his eyelid isn't drooping.

I'll take a stab at that.
Bell's Palsy or Brain Tumor perhaps?

No amount of light will make that right corner of his mouth appear to droop that low while the leftside stays up, also, strokes don't have to present every symtptom at once to merit a diagnosis.

DJT is notable for not having had multiple mini strokes during his first term.

Didn't know whether to put this here or the Charlie Kirk thread since it's likely related -- But Capitol Police are currently responding to an incident at the DNC in DC.

Senate staffers were warned on Thursday to stay away from the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In an alert to Senate staff, the Capitol Police said they were "responding to an incident at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters. Staff are asked to remain clear of the police activity," according to Semafor correspondent Burgess Everett.

Additional details were not immediately available.

"President Trump had directed that the (detainees) should be allowed to return home freely and those who didn't want to go didn't have to," he said. "We were told that, because of that instruction, the process was paused and the administrative procedures were changed accordingly."

So it was very important to raid the battery facility and terrorize the Koreans, many of whom apparently had valid work documentation.

But it was also not important at all.

But it was important enough for Donald to tell them it wasn't important and to let them go.

A South Korean Foreign Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the diplomatic process, said Trump had halted the process to hear from South Korea on whether the Koreans should be allowed to stay to continue their work and help train U.S. workers or should be sent back to South Korea.

Lee said the U.S. gave the detainees a choice between staying and going home. Ultimately, one South Korean national who has relatives in the U.S. chose to stay, Lee said.

I wouldn't want to stay in the US after the US government raided my workplace, arrested me like a criminal, tried to deport me despite lawful paperwork, and then said "oops jk you can stay"

This is just incompetent, malicious domestic terrorism against non-white folks continued.

Plain and simple.

Nobody is going to want to come to the US out of fear the Gaspacho will arrest them and leave them rotting in a cell without explanation for days/months on end.

Which has happened multiple times already.

That's, uh, not an insignificant droop.

Damn the left side(facing) is not looking great.

Very online white people might be miscaulculating the anger in Korea.

Imperial Tyranny, Korea's Humiliation

The arrest and detention of approximately 300 Korean workers by US immigration authorities appears to be resolved by their "voluntary departure" and return, but this is far from the case. Our citizens were deeply shocked by the barbaric acts of chaining the bodies and hands of Korean workers, who had gone to work in response to US investment demands, and even chaining their feet. This is an act that will likely remain a source of bitterness for a long time.

Might be shocking for people that took the initial administration press release at face value, that DHS did this raid "the right way". They didnt sugar coat this way reuters did.



That business visa includes working for the "setup and maintenance of euipment". For online dweebs that dont know about factory setups... they're always over-budget and behind schedule. This is a 16 million sq ft facility.

[Mayhem]

A little glitch with hands morphing, and everything. Is Trump not well enough to record a few minutes of video?

[Edge-]

either way, it sure is noteworthy how he spends the whole video barely moving his hands because his left hand is covering up the gigantic bruise on his right hand that everyone keeps pointing out

The images in question are from today, the 9/11 ceremony, which Trump had time to go to before his baseball game tonight. I'm going to call this another weekend where Trump decided sports was more important than his job.



This image is courtesy of the NYTimes. If you zoom in, you'll see the same issue. And that's before his speech, so, this is the best he could do.



That's NBC News. Honestly, I think at this point you could get any random source and they'd all show the same issue.

It would take Hollywood makeup artists hours and hours to put makeup/prosthetics on Trump's face that would still allow him to speak. Honestly, they should have just done the ceremony inside and blocked cameras, which they actually did do later claiming security concerns, but too late now.

From what I've read, Trump did not slur or stumble in speaking. But even the WH admits Trump wasn't up there for very long, and was following a tight script as demonstrated by him not mentioning Biden or Kirk once.

I guess the smart move would have been, and I quote, "no pictures."

The biggest issue here is the fact that there weren't even working here. They were here showing the people who would be working in the factory how to run the machines. They were basically advisors and teachers. They would be getting paid when they went back home in 2 months.

So one lady who decided to call ICE just screwed over Georgia and roughly 10k workers. Because she saw foreign people and thought "ILLEGALS!!!! MUST REPORT" when in fact, they weren't illegal.

And Dogkiller Barbie and her merry band of Goons were still all too happy to put on a production of arresting them in the most legally humiliating way they could think of because they're all a bunch of fucking idiots.

Don't make fun of him too much, he's just keeping his face at half mast in honor of Kirk.

[Moralgy]

Guys don't bully poor ole grandpa trump, he is having a senior day is all.

[Breccia]

Don't make fun of him too much

We absolutely can.

Trump mocked a disabled reporter and was cheered for it. People saw that and voted for him three times.

So, just like Trump said it's okay to mock Kirk's family for being the victim of political violence, Trump has said it's okay to make fun of people for medical conditions. Not everyone here may like that, but Trump supporters who haven't publicly said otherwise are assumed to align with Trump, by virtue of being Trump supporters.

Therefore, it's okay.
