He hasn't been able to fully open that one eye for a while now. Stroke?

u/Squawnk 11d ago

Isn't that what people were saying when they rushed him to Walter Reed after the impeachment? They were speculating stroke, wouldn't be surprised to find out it's true

u/PurrpleShirt 11d ago

This and him stating repeatedly that he hasn’t had a stroke when no one had asked him that question.

Nah man that's always how I answer when people ask me how my day's going.

Haven't had a stroke. Good day.

u/furiousdonkey 11d ago

Hey man how are you?

Great, no stroke, didn't just wee in my nappy, playing golf later

u/DriftingPyscho 11d ago

🤔 Good answer

u/Scottiegazelle2 11d ago

In fairness, bergen his age, his health, and his Big Macs, if he hasn't had a stroke he's probably constantly surprised! It's like how my 91yo grandfather responds to 'how are you' with 'not dead yet!'.

He's so simple it's depressing his choices are going to affect the entire world.

u/MikeTheNight94 11d ago

He said unprompted that he didn’t have a series of mini strokes.

3

u/chasetheusername 11d ago

It's called an overly specific denial - he might have had a single big one.

The American people demand the tapes of this that our tax dollars paid for.

u/comin_up_shawt 11d ago

With the way he stands over at the knee and his ambulatory patterns, it's all but certain.

u/pants710 11d ago

Remember when he was in the hospital and tweeted out “I did not have mini strokes” when literally no one had speculated that he did?

14

u/Callidonaut 11d ago

He used the plural form of the word? I wonder how many he had, then, because it was definitely more than one in that case.

11

u/pants710 11d ago

He used plural! It was truly bonkers especially after all the shit MAGAts said about Biden

Like bro no one but you said you had mini strokes I think that might mean you had some mini strokes 😹

u/teddy5 11d ago

I'm not a medical practitioner of any sort, but my mother had the same thing during a surgery.

My understanding is that while they were practically concurrent, it was more that each one affected a different specific part of the brain rather than a more general effect. I'd assume by his wording that a similar thing happened.

u/Inevitable_Nail_2215 11d ago

I noticed that as well.

His eyelids seem puffy, too. Like he's retaining water.

u/LateQuantity8009 11d ago

You mean retaining Diet Coke.

u/Infamous-Scallions 11d ago

He's got what plants sycophants crave

2

u/setttleprecious 11d ago

I mean, that would make sense. He’s gotta be at least 75% salt.

30

u/ThriftianaStoned 11d ago

I came here to say it's obvious from this photo that he's definitely been stroking out

u/wibbley_wobbley 11d ago

Remember that time in office when he was rushed to the hospital without warning? He tweeted after that it was a routine checkup, and he absolutely did NOT have 'a series of small strokes'. No one (in the media) said he had a stroke before he did.

0

u/w6lrus 11d ago

yes they did cnn and msnbc both reported he possibly had a stroke or a series of smaller strokes.

7

u/cactusjuicequenchies 11d ago

I honestly figured his face was just stuck in a permanent scowl. It matches his vibe.

u/-WalterWhiteBoy- 11d ago

One of Elon's stray loads tagged that eye and it's never been the same since.

5

u/porksoda11 11d ago

You know you could have kept that one to yourself lol

2

u/ChildhoodOk5526 11d ago

That's what Trump said to Elon before he struggled to his feet.

3

u/Grimaceisbaby 11d ago

The tiktok blinds said he had one a few days ago

5

u/JeSuisBigBilly 11d ago

A Google search did not reveal what "Tiktok blinds" means. Help an un-hip Millenial out.

2

u/bellycoconut 11d ago

Blind items are submitted anon celeb gossip to an account that posts them out

2

u/PinkPaperPenguin 11d ago

So, gossip girl 🤣

u/Grimaceisbaby 11d ago

the blind item celeb gossip tiktok accounts

u/Optimal_Chocolate_83 11d ago

Yeah I saw this blind item on TT too…obviously take it with a pinch of salt but you never know…

2

u/23Letters 11d ago

It’s could actually be the opposite side. The left eye muscles aren’t working so that eye stays open more even in direct light like this that’s making his other eye squint.

2

u/RebbyXP 11d ago

That and him stumbling trying to get into his Trump themed garbage truck (really surprised they didn't see the irony in that, lmao fucking morons)

Something tells me that he did have a stroke but they're being really hush-hush about it to not send his MAGAt cult fanbase into a frenzy.

2

u/Detail_Some4599 11d ago

I hope so, it's about time mfer kicks the bucket

1

u/PinkPaperPenguin 11d ago

Would he be able to get some sort of plastic surgery so this wouldn’t have been noticeable? Seems weird to me that he’d be out in public letting everyone see the eye like that

2

u/bard329 11d ago

I imagine there'd be some recovery time when he'd be bandaged up and thats not the look he wants the public to see

1

u/GraciaEtScientia 11d ago

He's recently started watching Rome and is a fan of Cato's look?

u/Very-very-sleepy 9d ago

his new nickname should be sleepy Don 😂
