At 7:57 tonight, the president of the United States stepped out of Marine One, using both hands to carefully grip the rails as he made his way down the stairs to his waiting motorcade. With much of his face more swollen than usual, his skin tacky with sweat that glistened under the lights shining down on him, he looked defeated and exhausted. He was once again wearing an oversized dark suit that hung large over his entire body. This whole scene was completely unexpected, as his schedule had him at Camp David through the weekend, before the abrupt change sent him rushing back to Washington, D.C., barely 24 hours after he arrived.
The bare-bones White House press office, which no longer has a press secretary after Karoline Leavitt left the position, offered no explanation or public statement. There was just a sudden update to his schedule around 6:20 PM and a gathering time for the press pool to quickly meet at 7:00 p.m. When Marine One landed at the Ellipse, reporters noticed an unidentified man seated across from Donald Trump. The only two people seen traveling with him in a secondary “support helicopter” were Natalie Harp, who is described as his human comfort blanket, and Walt Nauta, who served as Trump’s valet during his first term in office and is now an aide to the president. Once back at the White House, Donald Trump disappeared behind the gates without speaking a single word to the press throughout the entire trip back.
Wishing your husband Pete a speedy recovery and you a good rest from all the emotional strain of the past few days. I appreciate what you do every day. Thank you for keeping us informed with the TRUTH! You are a blessing.
Glad to hear you've got Pete home again. It's always harrowing to have someone in hospital, no matter how much faith you have in the care provided. I hate hospitals, too many sick people. Plant based diets won't kill you, but the alternative will shorten the healthy years. I've been vego 43 years, vegan 7. So far so good.
Trumps glum appearance is a mystery. What on earth could make him so slumped? He doesn't care enough about anything to account for his miserable face.
He’s dying from the evil within him. He’s dying from his being a nasty loser who cheats at everything and pisses on everyone. Obesity. Dementia. Cardiovascular disease…. He’s a deadman walking.
Dear Heather, Thank you for continuing to update us across the globe on the disturbing things happening in your country which eventually impact all of us in one way or another. Keep strong, look after your family and know that we are hoping and praying that all the bad things your president is responsible for, will come to an end soon. Love from Oz.
Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery for your Pete, Heather. Sounds like he is on the mend and you have every reason to feel very optimistic for a great outcome.
Your understandable concern and emotionality highlights the difference between a normal, compassionate human being most of us are and the psychopathic madman POTUS is. He is increasingly functioning as the decompensating madman he is and as a cornered psychopath he is only going to get worse. As even Republicans politicians are beginning,( finally), to back off from their total capitulation to Trump, hopefully we might find the means to remove him from office if an emergency situation presents itself before the midterms. As our greatest national security threat, Trump’s power to destroy America, or the world order by initiating WWIII must be neutralized asap.
I agree that Trump is dangerous when cornered. Also, he thinks less clearly and does stupid things. It should alienate more and more conservatives.
We need to squeeze Republicans in Congress. They are in a lose-lose position regarding Trump. If they continue to support Trump, they face defeat in the elections (2026, 2028, 2030). If they break from Trump, they face defeat in the elections. They must be forced to choose, because there is no good option.
Thank you for your thoughtful and truthful writing. "...our time on this planet is limited..." and we don't have all the time we want is such a powerful statement. I'm so exhausted by this one man and everything associated with him, and so angry at the time he has stolen from all of us - the worry and anxiety alone has shortened all our lives. It's so unnecessary.
I am living temporarily in Germany, and just received my ballot through email day before yesterday. Three options to vote. I’m really happy to finally have them.
I almost feel like I know Pete because he often gives me hearts in my responses to your writings. I’m glad he’s on the mend. And do not forget to take care of yourself. I know firsthand – working as a Chaplain at a trauma one hospital for three years. Caretakers usually do not take care of themselves, and it ends up really hurting them physically emotionally and mentally. That’s why I say that, take care of yourself!
I am so glad your Pete is doing well. The fad diets just are not the way to go. I live in northern, rural Japan, fresh, non-factory farmed vegetables, seafood that is nearly still wiggling for sashimi, no salt shakers on restaurant tables, few American fast food or chain restaurants, even sweets have half the sugar as American forms. The average lifespan for women is 88 years. Keep up the good words.
Wishing all the best to Pete & your family. Hope he has a speedy recovery. Thank you for your dedication to “truth” even when you have personal issues surrounding you..I wish people that really need to hear you would listen & see what “danger” our country is in right now… keep up the good work..you are truly needed !
I’m glad your husband is feeling better and is home with you and the pups. Take care of him and yourself— we need you both to keep us together in the fight for our democracy.
What everyone said, including hopes for your husband's swift and total recovery and thanks for your smart, incisive, and hope-inspiring writing every day.
I hadn’t even considered how the power of your writing could possibly grow stronger. Sharing this very personal side of your life did so. Knowing that you have Pete and those extra special eight paws on the ground is so comforting.
My own take is there is no need for a strenuous, competitive lifestyle for older folk.
The body knows when you're doing it wrong, or badly.
Be aware .....
Moderate exercise and a very varied natural (NO UPF) diet to get the animal/plant carb, protein, fat and mineral chemistry balance right. (The Supplement Industry thrives on you pouring unnecessary pills down your throat.)
So who was the shadowy man with Trump?
And while ruminating on that, think work, play, food balances and wish Pete a speedy recovery.
May your husband continue to gain strength and feel better each day and may the extra stress on you be abated with his growing health… I so appreciate your continued honest and thoughtful information - a voice of reason in an unhinged world. May your personal life be the calm in the storm as you keep your followers informed and aware. So appreciate your work on our behalf.

What Kathryn responded to you. I feel the same. Thank you Heather for what you say & share. May Pete recover quickly!
Amen! And those puppers ❣️❣️

Trump Doesn't
Pete Does.

Amen to that! Lots of good thoughts and virtual hugs to you both.
Oh, Heather (((hugs))).
