The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Old man yells at cloud, presidential edition.

30 Days. Will this thread take us through to a new president elect? Last thread took 35 days to hit 10k. O/u on this one is probably 13.5 days.

@goofyballer at your leisure can you direct the deliours man whose ass is hanging out of his wide open hospital gown as he hobbles around the hospital aimlessly looking for his phone and a line of adderall to snort over to the new thread? No rush, he hasn’t been feeling too well so may not tweet much in the morning. Thanks.

@MattyLice you should repost that tweet. It’s worth discussing.

Which one? This one?

Yeah, Chris Cuomo was hinting around that he was hearing things about the video and then later referred to the time it was recorded with a lack of trust in when it was recorded.

My opinion as a former journalist is he’s being told something off the record or on background and he believes it and it’s informing his coverage.

I’m wondering if the delay coming out to Marine One was shooting a few videos and pictures…

He must be fucked if he spent 10 minutes at an empty desk reading and writing

what if CoS figured out they could get away with having him sign his name on 50 sheets of blank paper that they then use that to run the government, and that’s his job

I could buy it being fake, I don’t buy being able to accurately measure pupils with that video or that it’s some sort of conclusive proof of anything

Holy fuck the cough/burp is also an edit. I went back and watched it again with all the talk about the video. First, bear with me. Trump always moves his hands when he talks. He doesn’t in this video and it’s been bothering me all day. Is he that weak? Seems unlikely. Anyway, we’ll come back to that.

Watch it on loop. You’re looking for a jump cut, where frames are skipped and stuff moves/skips unnaturally. Imagine if we had video of me walking across the street and edited out the middle. I’d appear to jump across the screen at the edit point.

We’re looking for that but more subtle. His body lurches a bit when he “holds back” the cough or burp, but that’s natural right? I couldn’t catch anything. So I started watching the rest of the screen. His arms, his hands, the table, the flags… Bam.

Watch the American flag, the bottom white stripe where there are ripples/shadows. As you hear him coughl/burp/gasp a little, you’re going to see the coloration change slightly. That’s the jump cut.

They edited out a cough or something.

Now circling back to his hands. Why are they so still? To make it possible to make this edit without it being obvious. His hands stay in the same place and his lower body is still and it’s easier to make the cuts.

Ya his hands are super weird in this video.

Edit: I just went back and watched the full video and he uses lots of hand movements for the first 10 seconds or so and then goes to the fingers locked pose for the rest. I don’t know if it means anything but something def. happens when he says therapeutics.
