On Sunday, photographer Nathan Howard captured the president returning to the White House following a short visit to his Virginia golf club. The image shows him appearing visibly hunched, dressed in golf attire, and clutching his phone.
Trump, a Christian, had skipped Easter service and instead gone on a bizarre presidential motorcade tour of Washington, D.C., including around Memorial Circle, where he hopes to build a towering arch honoring himself, according to pool reports.

(46,149 posts)As for whether he is "dying' -- well, he's almost 80, but folks have been predicting his imminent demise for a long time. I don't see his posture in that photo as evidencing anything particularly serious. I've known many older people who became increasinlgly "hunched over" in their late 70s and 80s and lived like that into their 90s.

(14,615 posts)How about: "Trump, who routinely weaves Christian-centered comments into his speeches to endear himself to conservative voting blocs, and once used a Bible as a prop in a photo op at a church (although while holding the book upside down), had still somehow surprised some observers in the media by not actually appearing at an Easter service anywhere this year, despite having a long history of avoiding even the barest of overt demonstrations of Christian faith or values in both his public and private life."

Consider it guilt by association.

(13,036 posts)He just arose from the dead. He may be feeling a little tired. Even though he should have rested well while dead.

(23,362 posts)I don't wish physical pain on anyone. But sometimes a person will end up like Trump in 2026, following a lifetime of incredibly bad physical and mental habits, and he ends up like this. Accordingly, I shed no tears. This is all 100% self-inflicted.
Justice matters.

Gaddafi: touring the streets
Yesterday, a defiant, fist-pumping Muammar Gaddafi toured the streets of Tripoli as world powers struggled to stay united over theNATO-led air campaign.
In an open-top 4x4, Gaddafi, sporting shades and a hunting hat, hailed bystanders with clenched fists on Thursday.
"God, Libya, Muammar and no one else," supporters chanted as loud explosions rocked the Bab al-Aziziya neighbourhood home to Gaddafi's residence and a base for most foreign journalists in the capital.
