      The problem with this "statement " is it was in writing. No one got him on camera or even video saying a goddamn word. How do we even know it is true? With deep fakes and how good AI is getting at faking said photos. We need a live feed with real life reporters asking him fucking questions.

      And still might not believe it real if I can’t see with my own eyes. Which means he should be required to go on a nationwide tour to assure us all he is really alive.

      Or just fucking die already!
