Yes? Lol

The prognosis for someone receiving CPR after an unwitnessed arrest is abysmal for a much younger, healthy person - like 5% chance of survival and even less than that for survival without severe brain damage. If they performed CPR correctly they broke every rib in his chest, and if they were somehow able to get his heart beating again then he's certainly on a ventilator and brain dead. The absolute "best case" scenario is that the family is in denial and they haven't decided to pull the plug yet.

Two weeks ago, on the morning of June 14, he was found unconscious at his D.C. home and rushed to the hospital, after an EMS call reporting a cardiac arrest at his address and that he’d been given CPR.

Dude's 100% dead. At best, he's already braindead before they carried his comotose body to the ambulance and he died on the way to the hospital. No 84 year old with health issues is surviving that shit.

In the last line of this article, Ken says he believes that Trump will say goodbye to McConnell over the weekend.

God, to be a fly on the wall in that room

I meant like a goodbye post on truthsocial, if he's already deceased. You know how Trump likes to be the first to announce things on truthsocial.

yeah there's no way he's going to see him lol

he just wants to post it first, and make sure it's after market hours

You think? I imagine he sits there with a "what the hell do you want me to do about it?" sort of annoyance on his face. I don't think Trump has either the sharp wit he started with or the togetherness to do a Trumpism (e.g. veterans are suckers and losers).

I envision Trump seeing McConnell as an instrument more than he does a person.

I think McConnell saw McConnell that way too.

I hope he's fully aware of his surroundings and body, but entirely unable to move or communicate in even the smallest of ways
