Expecting the White House to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth is the definition of insanity.

Let me make it clear “ I’m Running”
Later in the Week” I’m no longer running “
If anyone thinks this was his decision then you need your head examined

[bernicehagins]

We can never believe anything she says...

[haydentuttle]

He isnt even running anymore and they are STILL covering it up

[jackmannchicago]

His health is amazing. His brain is great!

[THEBONESBRIGADE]

who were the small group of advisors? the people would like to know.

[forzaroma]

If it has nothing to do with heath ( which it does) why would the president make such a big decision so quickly??? Wouldn’t you want to take more time to make sure you get such an important decision correctly? Doesn’t seem smart. This administration is so disgusting. Trump derangement syndrome is real and it’s more deadly than covid 😂😂😂

[marcysikder]

I’ll bet they threatened him and Jill.

[franksee]

She’s kind of like the female version of Barack Obama

“Oh, my gosh, he’s the President of the United States, you know, he – I can’t even keep up with him, ” Jean-Pierre told CNN’s Don Lemon.

I’m not struggling to recall KJP’s narrative from last week and week before. I was a loser for doubting her. And am a loser for doubting this. No apology in between. I am Metacom’s Heir. Metacom’s people won by walking away and leaving the “winners” with no treaty. I haven’t been around the WH or EOB for many years.

KJP: " Look, the president is planning a major study on the history of ice cream in this country. As you all know, the president, when he sets his mind to something is laser focused. After discussing this with his family and Jill, the president didn't feel he could commit to running for president, and lead this country the way it needs to be led. Therefore, the president thought it best to step aside for the 2024 race and concentrate his attention on something he loves more than classified documents and that's the history of ice cream in the United States.

My goodness - for once, she actually told the truth; half truth anyway, without even realising it. This hasn't anything to do with his health - he's been told by his masters to step down.

[justinmcwaters]

He had a fucking stroke in Vegas. Wtf?

[sparkyjerred]

He maybe considered healthy compared to Jimmy Carter.

[collette]

I think aside from Joe being anything this was the plan to pass the torch to Camel Toe.

[suedobbs]

I will not listen do you speak that’s what I think about it
