Remember that the 25th is an act of the VP and Cabinet, nobody else. It may not be coincidental that this development happens when the war is turning to complete shit, Trump has been firing generals left and right, and he is threatening to wipe out his cabinet. Those on Team Vance/Theirl may have decided this is the moment.

Without a fully docile congressionalmajority, he's nothing. And they have no reason to pay fealty to him.
Nobody, not even the cult, cast their POTUS vote for Vance.
You say he would be worse. A worse person, perhaps. (Not sure that's possible.) But, being a worse person with no real power isn't much of a threat.

He has a form of Dementia. He slurs his words. His annunciation of words and definitions is decreasing His train of thought is not consistent. He sounds like he has a bunch of marbles in his mouth when he attempts to read from a teleprompter.

Trump cannot stand for any length of time. He has swelling in his hands, legs, elsewhere. He appears to be fighting for breadth. The man no longer has the stamina he criticized Joe Biden for.

Whatever the outcome, look for the regime NOT to be honest about this.

The speech the other night was completely unlike any speech he ever gave, and I am not talking about the insane content. He was struggling to breathe, was short of breath throughout, like he needed to get oxygen.

It is CHF. It is common among older people.

199. Kidney failure often follows Congestive Heart Failure
Sun Apr 5, 2026, 08:31 AM
6 hrs ago

The swelling accompanies heart failure. The kidneys are important in ridding the body of toxins through urination.

Found via an echocardiogram, the ejection fraction indicates how blood is being sent through the body from the lungs for oxygenation to the brain and vital organs. In my late husband's case, his heart function was less than 25%. Organs begin to die due to the lack of oxygen. The function of the heart is key to it all. Memory loss becomes more amplified when blood cannot get to the brain.

CHF is not curable. Trump is going to continue to falter with time. The changes will be obvious as the stress of the job takes its toll.

6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
8 May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
10 May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor seize all he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12 May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,
their names blotted out from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord;
may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before the Lord,
that he may blot out their name from the earth.

141. "Lid" is very different than "lock down"!
Sat Apr 4, 2026, 05:11 PM
21 hrs ago

Lid just means he isn't speaking to the press. As in "go away, nothing to say"

A lock down occurs when there is a potential security breach:

Here are some recent examples:
As of March 11, 2026, the White House area was placed under a temporary lockdown following a vehicle crash into a security barrier, resulting in the driver's arrest and surrounding road closures. A separate, brief incident on July 15, 2025, involved a lockdown when an object was thrown over the North Lawn fence.

March 11, 2026: Secret Service arrested a driver who crashed into a security barrier. The area was secured, and operations returned to normal after the incident.
July 15, 2025: The White House was locked down for roughly 30 minutes after a person threw a cell phone over the North Lawn fence, prompting immediate action from Secret Service.


Key Details of Lockdown Procedures:
Protocol: During a lockdown, the Secret Service typically locks down the White House complex, moves reporters into the James S. Brady Briefing Room, and seals off Pennsylvania Avenue.
Response: In the July 2025 incident, the Secret Service initiated an investigation, determining the thrown item was harmless, and lifted the lockdown within an hour.

The White House is typically secured rapidly to ensure the safety of officials and the premises during any security breach.

I'm betting it's a panic attack because he is realizing that there are actually people DYING in his orchestrated war and people are really going to hold HIM accountable for the decisions he makes as President. He probably caved under the pressure.

He will breath in a bag for a bit, cost the taxpayers a bunch of money, be patted on the back by his enablers, and be back on social media tomorrow.
