Allison Gill wrote already on 31 August,
"Trump hasn’t answered questions or spoken publicly since last Tuesday. There’s clearly something wrong with his gait, his health, his hands, and his heart - and since corporate media refuses to call for his resignation as they called for Biden’s in 2024, I will. Trump must resign the presidency effective immediately."
"I do not think the president is dead. He is scheduled to make an Oval Office appearance at 2pm today. However, this kind of disappearing act is cause for concern. The president is accountable to the American people. This administration has been among the least transparent in modern history."
~ Jill Filipovic
"And the press seems to have decided that Trump’s physical and cognitive health aren’t of significant concern, or perhaps that those are old stories no one cares about anymore.
It’s a failure all around. And indicative of all the ways in which this president has repeatedly hidden the truth, intimidated journalists, gutted public trust, and created a culture of impunity in the Republican Party."
"Trump scheduled 'an announcement' in the Oval Office for Tuesday afternoon at 2PM ET, exactly a week after the Cabinet meeting.
Knowing this regime, my only prediction is that we will be presented with far more theater than truth."

"If that was Joe Biden, clearing his schedule and posting an old picture, it would be on the front of every page! If it was Hillary Clinton being dead of pneumonia times Parkinson’s (she got better), there’d be multiple above-the-fold stories for days. The NYT sent a push alert to notify people that a Parkinson’s doctor had been to the White House, and could have even passed Joe Biden in a hallway, could be!"

"But no, not even one comment from Jake Tapper, and if there was one word from the Washington Post, LA Times or New York Times, about the President’s disappearance and/or posting of a week-old photo as a proof of life, well, we missed it. The foreign press like BBC and SkyNews noticed, though."
"The profound unhealthiness of the Trump moment is all around us: the MAGA social media grifters making bank on quack supplements; its women injected with plastic and hobbled in stilettos like footbound Chinese peasants, the reverence for pollution and worship of fossil fuel extraction, for 'beautiful coal,' and more cracker plants to produce more tons of nurdles just as the rest of the nations on earth are trying to reduce plastic."

"And most unforgivable – the deliberate destruction of our national medical research and public health systems to own the libs, save a few tax dollars for billionaires, and commence the great eugenics project openly cherished by the right wing fringe. ...
The doddering old man’s body is metaphor for the ghastly corrupting effect he has had on our country:"
"Donald Trump may pretend to be the savior, but in reality, he’s the arsonist. He is the crisis. He is physically deteriorating before our eyes, mentally unfit to govern, and dragging the country down with him."

"During today’s press conference from the Oval Office, a visible bruise on the President’s hand was once again on display covered by makeup."
~ Aaron Parnas
To my eye, the hand (a photo shared by Parnas is below) also looks puffy and swollen, as if he's retaining much fluid.

"Most controversially, the 38-page plan suggests what it calls “temporary relocation of all of Gaza’s more than 2 million population” – a proposal that would amount to ethnic cleansing, potentially a genocidal act.
Palestinians would be encouraged into “voluntary” departure to another country or into restricted, secure zones during reconstruction. Those who own land would be offered “a digital token” by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere.
Those who stay would be housed in properties with a tiny footprint of 323 sq ft – minuscule even by the standards of many non-refugee camp homes in Gaza.
It was not clear if the plan reflects US policy, and neither the White House nor the State Department responded to the Washington Post’s request for comment. But the prospectus seem to reflect Donald Trump’s previously stated ambition to “clean out” Gaza and redevelop it.
Among critics of the leaked prospectus was Philip Grant, the executive director of Trial International, a human rights group based in Switzerland, who called the plan “a blueprint for mass deportation, marketed as development”."
"President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. carried out a strike in the southern Caribbean against a drug-carrying vessel that departed from Venezuela. “We just … shot out a drug-carrying boat, lot of drugs in that boat,” he said. “These came out of Venezuela.”
A senior U.S. defense official offered a more coherent statement, confirming to The Intercept that “the U.S. military conducted a precision strike against a drug vessel operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.”
The Tuesday attack is the first acknowledged attack in Trump’s recent ramp-up of U.S. military force in Central and South America. The belligerent foreign relations harken back to early 20th-century military interventions, when the “big stick” approach to the Monroe Doctrine led the U.S. to invade or militarily support favored regimes in the majority of nations in the Western Hemisphere. This gunboat diplomacy risks embroiling the U.S. in additional foreign wars and undermining Trump’s anti-immigration efforts.
The White House and State Department did not reply to request for additional information on the attack.
Last week, the United States dispatched three Aegis guided-missile destroyers to the waters off Venezuela as part of Trump’s supposed war on Latin American drug cartels."

#Trump admin is pushing to go to #SCOTUS over #tariffs — maybe tomorrow. The admin claims that #AI in #USA is in peril w/o tariffs and USA could become third-world w/o tariffs // #USpol // direct quotes from watching press conference broadcast

We're going to be going to the Supreme Court we think tomorrow because the financial fabric of our country, we're a rich and incredible country right now and we're able to you know other countries used tariffs on us for years and we never did. I did a lot during my first term, but we had Covid and we had to focus on other things. You couldn't be tarrifing Italy, Spain, France, as they were dying by the thousands and millions, but we did with ah China and China paid us billions and billions of dollars. But I started the process and then I had to end it a little bit because of Covid. We focused on that.Ah but no ah, it's a very important decision and frankly, if they make the wrong decision, it will be a devastation for our country.

We've taken in trillions of dollars. And by the way, all these countries signed agreements. As an example... they're all happy. Everybody's happy. But some whack job put in a lawsuit. It went before a very liberal court and the liberal court ruled, it was 11, they ruled, ah, 7 to 4 with one of the most liberal of them, all voting in our favor because their Patriots. I think, I give tremendous credit to that judge.
And now it's going to the Supreme Court. Now we're gonna be asking for early admittance. We're going tomorrow, and we're gonna ask for... an expedited ruling cause, ah, you know, when you look at the stock market down today.

The stock market is down because the stock market needs the tariffs and wants the tariffs.
If you look at Al, all of those, you know all of that money that's gonna be invested, trillions and trillions of dollars, the biggest thing, bigger than the Internet, I suspect, it's the Internet plus three or four other things combined, ah, we are leading very substantially with Al, ah, we're leading because of tariffs. We're leading because of talent, and this is where they'd like to be, but without the tariffs, we wouldn't have a chance, because we wouldn't be able to protect those investments the company is coming in, so, ah, if you took away tariffs, we we could end up becoming a Third World country. That's how big the ruling, so we're asking for an expedited ruling.

About how other countries feel (except, it seems the ones that trump said in the same press conference were behind the tariff lawsuit):
~ "They're fine with it. They all signed. If that ruling ever went against us, I guess we'd have to give back hundreds of millions, ah, we would have to give trillions back to countries that have been ripping us off...”

One of the most enduring images of this #military parade took place before the first cannon was fired.
President #XiJinping welcoming #NorthKorea’s #KimJongUn with a long handshake, then moving onto greet #Russia’s Vladimir #Putin before all 3 walked together to watch the parade…it is this meeting, not just the weapons & troops on show that appears to have grabbed the attention of #Trump.
This was the first time all 3 leaders have been seen in public together….
Alt...
Putin, Xi, & Kim walking together smiling
In #China all the diplomacy (& the optics) are designed to send a clear message to #Trump
…the leaders of China, #Russia & #India smiling together at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit.
…#Putin called #XiJinping “a real friend”, & the Chinese leader called his Russian counterpart “old friend.”
…Xi, Putin & #KimJongUn appeared together at the #military parade on Wednesday.
In short: in the geopolitical universe different powers are aligning as a counterweight to American domination.
