Donald Trump may be alive right now, but it certainly seems like something is up over at the White House. Over the weekend, it was noted that we hadn’t actually seen Trump in days, causing many to theorize he’d died and there was internal panic over what to do next.
Officials have poured water on that, though puzzling aspects remain, like photos of him from a week ago being published as if they were taken that day. Trump has now been photographed today and though this might just be a bad photo, he’s… not looking great:

There’s a growing theory that Trump may have suffered a series of “mini-strokes”. Known as “TIA” (transient ischaemic attack) strokes, they occur when there’s a temporary disruption in the blood supply to part of the brain. Symptoms include speech and visual issues and numbness or weakness in the face, arms, and legs. These aren’t as serious as full strokes, and the effects generally resolve themselves over 3-4 days.
Does it all add up?
The case that he’s been suffering from these for a while was made by Adam Cochran on X, who noted several telltale symptoms in recent Trump video and images:

I believe there is growing evidence, that the White House is covering up the fact that Donald Trump has been dealing with TIA strokes.

He identifies a pattern of visible symptoms, combined with White House press repeatedly issuing older photos as if taken that day, what we know of the medication he takes, press photographers being kept far away, and any disappearances matching the recovery time for these mini-strokes.
It’s also theorized that this presents a unique problem because “under a normal administration, a president having repeated TIAs wouldn’t be removed from office, but even a moderate ischemic is likely to impact mental faculties, and merit the 25th amendment being invoked.”
Yeah.

TIAs and strokes can both vary in severity though.
And because he gets around the clock medical care, there is a chance that after a week of rest they walk him back out like nothing happened meanwhile the internal damage is done.
We can only underline that this is speculation. However, it’s at minimum curious that Trump hasn’t spoken in front of the cameras in a week, as he’s hardly kept quiet for that long before. That, combined with all the other circumstantial evidence that all’s not well with his health right now, indicates that something is most definitely “up”.
One thing’s for sure, Trump is going to need to speak on camera sooner rather than later, so if he’s slurring his words or suffering facial droop, we’ll all know then.
