A pharmaceutical executive collapsed in the Oval Office Thursday as members of the Trump administration were announcing a new deal for weight-loss medications.

The representative from one of the pharmaceutical companies was standing behind the president during the event when, suddenly, his knees buckled from underneath him.

And Trump just looks annoyed. I remember when this happened with Bernie, and at first he was startled by the sound, then when he realized what happened, he said “oh my god” and rushed over to aid the lady.

I don't think Trump is annoyed, I think he's trying to figure out what's going on. The man is utterly checked out. Seen the video of Japan's new PM guiding him around like a stoned toddler?

Must have been the stench.

Some lighter fare, the picture is hilarious.

Trump like "someone clear this shit out of here so I can go back to gasbagging!"

I hope it's because they fucked up gas lines somewhere and they all have carbon monoxide poisoning

See Trump with a bit of struggle trying to stand up? His dementia has advanced to the stage of showing it physically. That's not my armchair opinion, I've read several articles where doctors are pointing it out.

There's also the fact that Trump looks fully out to lunch in this picture. Not even like "wha nobody's paying attention to me", quite literally not even present in the moment.

I'm scared shitless that no media is calling out the obvious. If Trump were our grandpa, the kids would already be fighting about how to put him away. He's gone.

He looks like the world’s oldest child getting first communion in that poorly-fitting suit.
