Not AI, but his face looks noticeably puffier. A hefty dose of dexamethasone will give one moon face.

I'm not taking a position one way or the other but the man is 79. Take away the vanity/photo op make-up, to me he looks 79 in that photo. Also, I don't discount a photographer rapid-firing a bunch of pics then posting the one where he happens to have his mouth open in mid-word. Getty Images is an aggregator of submitted images, not their source.

...putting aside this and other documented photos showing this man to have serious health issues of late, one has to consider his lifestyle and the degree of stress (much self-imposed) for a person this age. He does not handle things that don't go his way in the hypertension side of things, to put it mildly. So the ole saying of "burning the candle both ends"...it's most likely catching up to him sooner than later, IMO.
This is not to say he'll croak tomorrow, it's just not looking good for him currently. Nor would I be surprised if his fanatical advisors try to pull a Weekend at Bernie's if he does suddenly croak... >.<

They may try to pull a Weekend at Bernies but constitutionally it wouldn't fly.
That would be borderline insurrection and treason.

The first thing I thought of when looking at that picture: he reminds me of Joe Biden. Or at least the "sick mode" Joe Biden the GOP loves to harp upon...
You say that like this administration is worried about the constitutionality of anything

Not that that would stop them, given how Trump's deluded them into thinking they could get away with anything.
It would probably betray the likelihood that they have zip succession plan relative to JD Vance, though.
I listened to a great podcast today

At this point, how last-laugh can you get if Biden outlives Trump.

Constitutionally, not being forthright with medical information and covering up the health of the president is something the US actually has a lot of experience and history with. FDR and Reagan are two examples where voters were told they were in good health when in actuality they were not. Pretending Trump is still healthy would be one of the lesser constitutionally-worrying things this current administration has done.
We'll see what the presser this afternoon bears but it wouldn't surprise me if it were recorded earlier and/or altered in some way to save face. WH seems on the backfoot with everything for the past week so something is definitely up. The in-fighting in the coming power vacuum is going to be something else.
Reuters says that the “exciting news” is that the space command headquarters will be moving from Colorado to Alabama

He's still alive unfortunately. And in the midst of planning to send an invasion force to Chicago as his pulse check...

Pritzker: "We have reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois."

And not a single person will stop him from doing so.
