Is Trump really close to dying? [View all]

Keith Olbermann speculates in his latest podcast that he may well be.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trump-suddenly-speculating-about-a-future-without/id1633301179?i=1000730345454
Two big revelations:

From anybody else it would be trivia. From Trump this is startling. Buried in an ordinary narcissistic flight: "It'll be very unfair in the future when they (Republicans) don't have Trump to fight for them."

After being MIA for five days – no live public viewing of him, just one video that according to White House time stamps took more than two hours to produce even though it only required him to try to speak for a minute-ten… he EMERGED with what was, even for him, such an utterly bizarre and especially vulnerable admission.

I don't want to get hopes up, but it actually sounds like it might really be serious. Add in some of the comments he apparently made before the Navy and it sounds like his most unhinged speech yet. I tried listening to some of the snippets from that speech from Meidas Touch, but it was too painful. But Olbermann's characterization of it make it sound like it was deranged (You really need to hear it on the podcast):

And THEN Trump went in front of the Navy and said he warned about Osama Bin Laden last year, and told Pete Hegseth about it a year before 9/11, and claimed he was president in 2016 but they fixed the 2016 election, but they ran it again and he "got 250."

What. In The Hell. Is Wrong. With Trump’s Health?
