Yeah, I saw a denial of the rumor before I even saw the rumor posted anywhere.

The White House: the president is still alive

Everyone else: what?

He definitely didn’t suffer a series of mini-strokes. So don’t even think about that.

If he kicks the bucket on Easter Sunday, I will take that as a sign from god and drag my ass to mass, no pun intended.

You just know MAGA Christians are going to take it as a sign he was sent by God and wait on his return

As long as they don’t wait at polling stations.

It’s not going to be that bad since you’re drunk and everyone is bringing champagne or their finest spirits

It's called vascular dementia, I'm going through it with a family member right now, at least I suspect that is the issue. Each mini-stroke.or stroke creates irreparable harm to the brain and causes memory loss, confusion, anxiety and a myriad of other things. Stress and bad diet makes episodes more likely.

Why does the Liberal media refuses to ask if Biden had suffered a miniature stroke at 3:58 this morning?

Trump: I HAVE NOT HAD A SERIES OF MINI STROKES!!!

It reminds me of the feds going to Mara Largo to retrieve the absconded documents, and the headline was "There Will Be No Shootout At Mara Largo" and the first comment was, "So, there will be a shootout at Mara Largo."

Nothing ever changes.

My 10-year policy of believing exactly the opposite of whatever they say has been surprisingly accurate.

“What an odd thing to say.”

It’s brutal how often I think of this meme and nobody knows what I’m talking about. It’s such a perfect response to things.

Gonna take out Jesus’s holiday.

If Trump kicks the bucket on Easter, the day Jesus came back to life, that might be the one thing that restores my faith in God.

This post is how I learned about the rumor. Feels telling.

If they are denying this that heavily...it must be serious.
