      I desperately hope he doesn’t. I never appriciated the power becoming a martyr could be until I thought about Trump dying. We would literally never hear the end of conspiracy theories or bad faith bills made in his name. Think of all the rallies of people protesting the “deep state” that caused the stroke. It would be absolutely insufferable and set the country back even further. He has to live to be old and forgotten.

        He doesn’t need to die of it, just get incapacitated enough that he can’t participate. Let people see him as old and fragile. The people who need him to be a strong leader would lose their faith in him

        Any case of Trump dying will cause conspiracy theories. His supporters think he’ll live forever.

      Id rather stand somewhere cold all day than somewhere hot. You can always add more layers for heat, but you can only take off so much to cool off before you get arrested lol

        I’m the opposite, heat sucks but at least it isn’t straight up painful like single digit/subzero temps can be. That being said, I remember being in Kuwait when it was around 130°F out and it was absolutely miserable. I was in the Army and had to stop through their on my way to R&R and the 3 days I was there waiting for my flight were horrible. All the transient areas were just tents, and the portable AC units they had hooked up to them couldn’t keep up and the temps during the day never got below ~90°F.

          I was gonna say “Clearly you’ve never been in the desert!” but then you mentioned playing in the sandbox and I get that.

          That said, even in Texas, a good 90% of the summer is “Going outside will sting, staying outside will burn in a matter of moments” weather. I’ve had those 110°+ days and those “So far below zero the LCDs in your car freeze” days of Upstate NY during a lake effect blizzard and all I can say is, both suck.

          That said, I prefer the cold. This is coming from a prior cold weather injury as well but I fall back on “No bad weather, just bad gear.”

    He’s more interested in people hearing him speak than the health and safety of his future constituents.

      “I don’t want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don’t care about you. I just want your vote,”

      This was one of the three Trump quotes they have in the article. He added he was just joking but pretty sure he was serious.

        After that remark he said the media will say he is horrible, as if the media is the problem for telling everyone exactly what he said.

    It’s ok to hand out water here, but not when people are in lines for voting right? 🥴

    Someone gotta hack the prompters and put a bunch of 4 syllables words in his speech. I heard he struggles with those.

    The lizards will all start basking in that… Think their skin-suits will melt before they realize they are on camera?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    LAS VEGAS (AP) — Former President Donald Trump ‘s campaign is hiring extra medics, loading up on fans and water bottles and allowing supporters to carry umbrellas to an outdoor rally Sunday in Las Vegas, where temperatures are expected to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius).

    Trump is returning to Nevada, one of the top battleground states in the November election, for his second rally since he was found guilty in a hush-money scandal.

    The unprecedented conviction of a former president has juiced Trump’s fundraising and galvanized his supporters, but it remains to be seen whether it will sway swing voters.

    Campaign organizers say they will have ample water bottles to hand out to attendees and that cooling tents will be place throughout the venue.

    During a Trump rally in Arizona on Thursday, the Phoenix Police Department said 11 people were transported to hospitals, treated and released for heat exhaustion.

    Trump’s Nevada rally, his third in the state this year, comes on the tail end of a Western swing that included several high-dollar fundraisers where he was expected to rake in millions of dollars.
