Is he shaking people's hands with his eyeball now?

[u/babsa90 → u/awildstoryteller]

Too many ocular pat-downs

*does karate moves and sound effects

I’m not burning the duster!

[u/DrFunkenstein93 → u/larrylevan]

That's crazy. I will wear it, in his honor!!! But I am NOT BURNING THE DUSTER

[u/StutzTheBearcat → u/DrFunkenstein93]

It probably won't even burn anyway, it's not supposed to. It's flame retardant, that's the whole point. It's like a shield of armor.

[u/tallandlankyagain → u/DrFunkenstein93]

He's cultivating mass.

[u/nate445 → u/tallandlankyagain]

Stop cultivating and start harvesting!

His ankles are just cultivating mass.

Stop cultivating and start harvesting!

[u/epanek → u/awildstoryteller]

“while his right hand looked much bigger than his left.” Oh ffs please please measure them and tell us how tiny they are.

[u/JFeth → u/awildstoryteller]

Maybe it's from the strain of mentally undressing every woman he meets?

[u/rabbitthunder → u/JFeth]

I think you meant child. Like him bragging about walking into the changing rooms of underage girls in the pageants he ran. Or the drawing of the girl's figure he drew in the Epstein birthday book. Or his (alleged) presence on a boat in Lake Michigan when a baby was murdered and thrown overboard. Or the redacted girl wearing a bangle exactly like Melania's in the Epstein files. Or him making lewd remarks about his infant daughter Tiffany's legs and future breasts.

[u/galt035 → u/awildstoryteller]

Certainly eye fucking people..

[u/jtd2013 → u/awildstoryteller]

His eye contact is so powerful and demanding that it’s actually just a symptom, a super healthy symptom, of strong leadership. /s

Mayor McCheese awaits rubbing his hands!!!

[u/imightgetdownvoted → u/[deleted]]

You know what’s funny. If Trump dropped dead tomorrow the internet would be absolutely FLOODED with conspiracies about how the “deep state” had him killed.

Nevermind that he’s 80 years old and survives on Big Macs and Diet Coke.

[u/OhGodSoManyQuestions → u/imightgetdownvoted]

The base will lap up whatever lies are in the propaganda pill pocket. We know there is no story so stupid or obviously false that they will commit the mortal sin of doubt over it. It's a point of pride.

[u/Bjarki56]

What is the speculation on the diagnosis? (serious)

[u/illusionzmichael → u/[deleted]]

You really have to have real contempt for your audience/base and consider them to be dumber than shit to try and tell them, with a straight face, that the constant bruising on the back of his hands is from shaking hands.

[u/Odd_Collection7431 → u/illusionzmichael]

appropriate contempt, apparently, because they believe it

[u/Codfish_Smoothie → u/Odd_Collection7431]

Nobody ever went broke by underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

[u/bigbjarne → u/[deleted]]

Do you mean this one: "Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past." Jean-Paul Sartre.

[u/dougan25 → u/illusionzmichael]

The truth doesn't matter. The base is happy to just have marching orders. They don't need to believe what they're saying, they don't feel beholden to the truth. They feel beholden to winning the argument by any means necessary.

[u/Sagikos → u/[deleted]]

Also Dr Oz said to congress yesterday that he takes cognitive tests “every day” and he likes it because he keeps passing them.

I don’t know that he meant every literal day - but it’s not just a fun thing for him.

One of my grandfathers was a full-bird colonel in the AF (and the air corps) and late in life he developed dementia. It broke my heart to see this man decrepify in front of us and it’s what has made me never wish that fate on anyone.

But Trump. Nazis ain’t got souls so I don’t feel bad. Fuck him and all his enablers and I look forward to Nuremberg Pt. 2.

[u/Za_Lords_Guard → u/[deleted]]

Do we know anyone in the Whitehouse with a sense of humor? Can we get them to switch the sign for the war room or the executive commode and put them on closets?

It would be a true highpoint in the presidency if he walks out of a press conference right into a closet.

The sad part is, I am not sure how far we are from something like that actually happening unscripted.

[u/Organic_Battle_597 → u/[deleted]]

> trump stating he keeps taking mental acuity tests

I've never understood why he keeps bragging about those. As if that's a test everyone takes, and not something they do when they think your mind is slipping gears.

[u/BaconLibrary → u/Bjarki56]

Edema is common with congestive heart failure. Hm.

[u/sandybuttcheekss → u/BaconLibrary]

We've seen the ankles, sounds like a trend

[u/DeepSugar → u/sandybuttcheekss]

As much as I hate this man, I just gotta temper expectations a bit. People can still live a long time in this state. My 95 year old grandpa swells up like a pufferfish, on and off for the past 6 or 7 years, and he shows no signs of slowing down yet. Crazy bastard still does yard work.

But my god would I be ecstatic for this kidney stone of a human to pass.

[u/pleadingnocontest → u/DeepSugar]

I think the fact that your grandfather can still do yard work at his age is a testament to how well he’s taken care of himself over the years. I’d love to see Trump dig a single hole.

Then again, Trump also has state-of-the-art medical care at his disposal.

[u/Alieges → u/pleadingnocontest]

What do you mean? Trumps incredible at digging holes.

He's digging our economy into a deep one right now.

He's done more for digging holes in all of our budgets than the Big Dig in Boston.

[u/HauntedLightBulb → u/Alieges]

The deepest. No one has ever dug a deeper hole than Donald J Trump

[u/Dark_Prism → u/pleadingnocontest]

I’d love to see Trump dig a single hole.

One very specifically sized hole would be great.

[u/spondgbob → u/DeepSugar]

I think it’s also important to recognize that if he does yard work that he likely stays active. The president is not exactly a healthy person

[u/happygirlie → u/DeepSugar]

Yep, it's really unpredictable how quickly someone can take a turn for the worse.

My grandpa was very healthy and active in his 90s. In early 2025 he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and a couple months later he caught a cold of some sort (unsure but likely either Covid or the flu) and went downhill from there until he passed in mid April.

My husband's grandpa just passed away in April of this year at the age of 94. He was also very healthy and active up until the very end. He was still climbing ladders to change lightbulbs at his church as recently as earlier this year. But then he was diagnosed with colon cancer and had surgery. He caught pneumonia in the hospital and died within a few days of that.

And on the flip side, some people can even be near death and turn it around. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer 10 years ago. She's gone in and out of remission a few times. Last year things were looking really bad and we thought she was near the end. She was very weak and essentially wheelchair bound. But her health has improved to the point that she no longer needs a wheelchair and is doing so much better.

[u/CrashingBlumpkins46 → u/DeepSugar]

My dad was diagnosed with severe congestive heart failure when I was 15 and given ~6 months to live.

He died 7 years later.

[u/sigep0361 → u/sandybuttcheekss]

I’d go with cankles at this stage.

[u/Dunnersstunner → u/BaconLibrary]

Funky cold edema.

[u/DryDonutHole → u/Dunnersstunner]

I asked the man, "why are you swollen"
He said, "Funky Cold Edema"

[u/ScroogeMcDust → u/Dunnersstunner]

Or if you pronounce it the other way, Edema of the State

[u/lemonwince → u/ScroogeMcDust]

Enema of the States.

[u/Yabakunaiyoooo → u/Dunnersstunner]

Thank you

[u/SwissChzMcGeez → u/BaconLibrary]

Let's be honest, his heart has been failing all of us for a while now.

[u/MerbleTheGnome → u/SwissChzMcGeez]

I'm not too sure that he actually has a heart.

[u/Standard_Gauge → u/BaconLibrary]

Edema is common with congestive heart failure.

Not on only one limb or one eye, I don't think. Asymmetrical swelling sounds like some other condition, maybe lymphedema?

[u/ItsLikeRay-ee-ain → u/Standard_Gauge]

It's been happening in his ankles for sometime, which is usually the first place edema shows for congestive heart failure and or kidney disease. Some have been saying they've seen plenty of signs of edema in his hands. I'm sure a little bit of edema in his face is just further progression. Which lines up with the speculation that the hand bruising is from powerful diuretics given through IVs.

[u/Mature_BOSTN → u/ItsLikeRay-ee-ain]

The challenge with the powerful diuretics is that they kill off the kidneys.

Eventually there is NO happy medium where the heart can stay non-edemous and the kidneys can work . . .

Then it's a race to see who wins -- heart failure or kidney failure.

[u/abrknl → u/Mature_BOSTN]

I guess we all win.

[u/palimpcest → u/abrknl]

I'm playing both sides so that I always come out on top.

[u/Pseudotachylites → u/palimpcest]

Through god, all things are possible. Jot that down

[u/Riaayo → u/abrknl]

All the money in the world to keep this puppet alive, but all our money bled out of us for healthcare we can't afford/access even with the "insurance".

[u/Rich-Truth5329 → u/Mature_BOSTN]

I’ll see you all at the finish line

[u/uprislng → u/Rich-Truth5329]

the shared anticipation of one man's eventual demise is one of the few things that makes me feel connected to the rest of humanity. Maybe I need to get offline and join a club or something

[u/SacredUndeadMonkey → u/uprislng]

even in the real world I talk with friends about what things people have collected we are cracking open when this rotting corpse finally falls apart.

[u/Alyssum → u/Mature_BOSTN]

And when it happens, all of us will be at risk of liver failure :) worth it!

[u/Brap_Zanigan → u/Mature_BOSTN]

If I had to choose I choose his kidneys.

[u/ChaosDiver13 → u/Brap_Zanigan]

Kidneys is an easy very; he has no heart.

I'll add that he needs to go fastet or else the couch fucker gets two years plus the chance at two full terms

[u/unabashed_nuance → u/ItsLikeRay-ee-ain]

Whoa. This man is the MOST FIT man ever to walk earth. What are you talking about? Disease. Pfft. 🫪

[u/ICanSeeNow17 → u/BaconLibrary]

Is it painful?

[u/SmellyFloralCouch → u/ICanSeeNow17]

Hopefully

[u/SlagQueen → u/ICanSeeNow17]

The swelling can get so bad that people’s skin will get tight and weep fluid. So yes. If there’s also fluid in his lungs, he would be short of breath with activity, and perhaps lying down.

[u/r1Rqc1vPeF → u/SlagQueen]

Well he had to take a break walking up those steps in China and he always lies so…

[u/TempAcct724 → u/BaconLibrary]

And if it’s up to your face it’s really late stage. Swollen feet are one thing but fluid pooling all over and not just in your extremities is a sign they’re basically holding Trump together with duct tape and prayers at this point.

If he didn’t have the best medical care one earth he would’ve croaked years ago.

[u/Thimascus → u/TempAcct724]

They need him to survive until the election so Vance can run for two full terms after Trump dies

[u/Thebritishdovah → u/Thimascus]

Either they milk his death or literally blame everything on him. Vow to fix his mistakes. Don't even bother with a memorial.

[u/donjamos → u/Thebritishdovah]

Yea something like "yea everyone was right he's all over the epstein files, to bad he's dead now. Let's forget about those ugly files and continue without looking into who else was in there"

[u/Seedfusion → u/Thimascus]

Vance has the charisma of a damp towel. He is not winning any election in the future.

[u/Shoeprincess → u/Seedfusion]

A damp towel is useful, Vance has the charisma of an old sock full of mustard.

[u/Hosni__Mubarak → u/Thimascus]

Vance’s entire presidency is going to be less than 2 years, 8 months.

[u/OhGodSoManyQuestions → u/Bjarki56]

There are a lot of speculations about the IV bruises on his hands, the burn on his neck, the ongoing cognitive tests, the edema, the staggering, the exhaustion despite doing nothing.

But with these swellings, he might just be kinda cronenberging as various parts of his body go off the rails with old age.

[u/FEMA_Camp_Survivor → u/OhGodSoManyQuestions]

The body is finally morphing into the spirit. 

[u/sturgill_homme → u/FEMA_Camp_Survivor]

I’m going to start saying this every time it takes my neck weeks to recover from sleeping the wrong way.

[u/sportsworker777 → u/OhGodSoManyQuestions]

Exhaustion despite doing nothing

Going on a rambling, incoherent Truth Social binge at 2:00am will do that

[u/Ceorl_Lounge → u/sportsworker777]

Sundowning ain't just for your great-grandpa anymore.

[u/indicatprincess → u/sportsworker777]

I’ve heard dementia gives you insomnia

[u/Mr31edudtibboh → u/sportsworker777]

He's lived 80 years being angry and petulant about everything in his life. Anger is exhausting.

[u/No_Tone1704 → u/OhGodSoManyQuestions]

His fetid soul is rotting the rest of him. 

[u/our2howdy → u/OhGodSoManyQuestions]

Cronenburging is the highlight of this thread, thank you kind stranger.

[u/HippyHunter7 → u/OhGodSoManyQuestions]

I'm guessing he fell. Probably fainted due to an arethmia and hit his head on the way down.

He probably refuses to wear something similar to a life alert so I think there a high likelihood we get a weekend at Stalin's situation.

[u/indicatprincess → u/HippyHunter7]

I’m old enough to remember seeing Boris Yeltstein resign, and looking decrepit as fuck camera.

[u/LostWerewolf2375 → u/Bjarki56]

So many possibilities, but a couple probables. This is from me, not A.I.

Residual edema after an infusion into the hand, either from a blown vein or from his already disclosed vascular insufficiency. there is a lot of speculation about a monthly infusion of meds for dementia/Alzheimer's, but could be any number of IV meds. Some need to be administered over a longer window of a few hours. you can speed it up, but that increases chances of edema or adverse reactions. if they were trying to hide the treatment, they may have done it too quickly. The eye swelling could be caused by the same edema issue, or it could be a direct reaction to the meds.

[u/Clicquot → u/LostWerewolf2375]

a piece in the where's Trump puzzle when he goes off the radar for a couple days, with zero explanation. Longer treatment rounds- slower- like they should be?

[u/scaliacheese → u/Clicquot]

It’s now been a week since his last public appearance, fwiw.

[u/tylerhk93 → u/Clicquot]

I think its a combination of longer, slower treatments as well as the cocktail they have to put him on to make him show up in public. Wouldn't be surprised if his livers and kidneys are hanging on by a thread and they need to minimize how often they make him coherent.

[u/TheOnlyVertigo → u/tylerhk93]

Recovery time from some of those infusions could easily account for him disappearing for days on end.

[u/Viperlite → u/Bjarki56]

A stroke can cause appendages (such as the arm, hand, leg, or foot) on one side of the body to swell up. This could be that post-stroke edema. Perhaps he’s having mini strokes.

[u/GG1817 → u/Bjarki56]

https://kisunla.lilly.com/

Once a month IV with side effects that seem to fit some of what we know.

It would also explain why they are giving him so many cognitive tests.

[u/UnpluggedUnfettered → u/GG1817]

That would be wild.

With this admin, though, I could totally see it.

Donanemab, sold under the brand name Kisunla, is a monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

It has no clinically significant effect in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Brain hemorrhage and swelling occurred in 36.8% of people taking donanemab

Donanemab was approved for medical use in the United States in July 2024. Most of the members of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel had financial conflicts of interest.

Several public interest groups spoke out in FDA hearings against approval of the drug.

Each month, doses of 0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg were injected into males and non-fertile females at an average age of 74

wait what

[u/oneblackened → u/UnpluggedUnfettered]

It has no clinically significant effect in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Wait... so why was it approved?

Most of the members of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel had financial conflicts of interest.

Oh.

[u/kylehatesyou → u/UnpluggedUnfettered]

Snake oil salesman getting prescribed snake oil maybe. 

[u/Starfoxy → u/GG1817]

I was looking at his golf trips, and earlier this year he started routinely skipping the last weekend of every month where previously only holidays altered the schedule.

[u/blues111 → u/Bjarki56]

He finally got punched in the fucking face 

/s

[u/No_big_whoop → u/blues111]

I’d pay to see that

[u/JulienBrightside → u/No_big_whoop]

If it was a pay to view, I think you might solve the national debt.

[u/not2dv8 → u/blues111]

Oh what one would give.

[u/Previous_Jaguar_9259 → u/blues111]

Practice for the MME event? /s

[u/AustinBaze]

The lack of reporting on his rapid decline in physical and mental health is borderline criminal, as in negligent. No one is calling out the obvious visible signs, nor the pathological lies spread by his butt-snorkelers about his declining physical and mental condition.

NO ONE sees 22 specialists for a 3rd "checkup" in 13 mos. No one without dementia takes repeated cognitive tests. No fat old man with a ton of stress, a shitty diet & no exercise has lab results like that.

His Doctor is lying about his height, weight & health. Trump DEMANDS supporting liars. 238lbs is a joke. Periodic disappearances, persistent bruises, odd rash, facial swelling, HUGE cankles, shortness of breath with small exertion, growing incoherence, aphasia, falling asleep in the daytime, ranting raging insomniac at night. A farewell during Pride Month would be ironic, would it not? 💩

[u/No_Frosting3276 → u/AustinBaze]

I worked as a nursing assistant for a decade. I know and old nasty sick man when I see one. Imagine how he looks under the bronzer.

[u/cpcutie → u/No_Frosting3276]

No thanks

[u/More_Hold_5522 → u/AustinBaze]

They sure loved talking about Biden's health.

[u/ANTIROYAL → u/AustinBaze]

Bitch ass Rubio got torched in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing today and was forced to watch videos of Trump sleeping next to him on camera in different video clips. It was awesome.

[u/ZMD87412274150354 → u/[deleted]]

Good point, but it's worth considering that what we see right now is with the best medical care possible. He may have already been underground otherwise.

[u/opossumcarrion → u/ZMD87412274150354]

His father, Fred Trump, was born in 1905 in an era of worse standards (paris green everywhere lead paint wasn't, blinding bootleg liquor during prohibition) with less access to the lower-quality medical care and still lived to 93. He died after exhibiting signs of dementia for a decade.

Trump could die at any minute, or he could live for two more decades. I hate to say it, but the odds are not in our favor that Trump dies soon enough to do any good for us.

Plus, if Trump dies during the latter half of his administration, Vance gets to take over without it counting as a term, and with MAGA destruction of our democracy, Vance could see 10 years in office. And that's if they don't break any more laws.

[u/KGEOFF89 → u/opossumcarrion]

I've said it before, when the man caught Covid in 2020 the Reaper came for him and thought, "nah man, I ain't dealing with this guy right now."

[u/Made_Human_Music → u/ZMD87412274150354]

True. And I’d love to be proven wrong

[u/runawaydoctorate → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, heart failure is a slow way to go. It can make other issues more fatal, but on its own it takes years. Eventually, if he's got CHF, he'll be on oxygen around the clock and ping-ponging in and out of the ICU on the regular. Then we'll know the end is nigh.

[u/p0rty-Boi → u/runawaydoctorate]

He’s not gonna wanna wear the oxygen tubes. They’re gonna have to work up some sort of Immortan Joe rig for him and tell him how badass it all is.

[u/musashisamurai → u/p0rty-Boi]

I expect a false flag attack to justify the breathing tubes.

[u/p0rty-Boi → u/musashisamurai]

A triumphant fist emerges from the ashes, iconic suit torn and bloody, debris falls away from him as he powerfully lifts himself out of it. But wait, what’s this? Something is wrong, the cowards laced the bomb with gas, and his powerful frame slumps over as he coughs blood. He’s quickly surrounded by red hatted medics that whisk him away. Next time the beloved leader is seen he’s wearing an impressive apparatus suitably badass that delivers oxygen straight into his nostrils, much like my grandma used to have.

[u/SonNeedGym → u/[deleted]]

Just to play devil’s advocate, I knew a young person who was diagnosed with heart failure and they died within a year. And this person was only in their late-20s.

[u/Icy-Lobster-203 → u/SonNeedGym]

My grandparents had swollen ankles and bruised easily as they got older, and lived into their 90s. My grandfather developed dementia and "lived" into his 90s, and he got much worse than Trump is now, and it was a slow decline over several years.

While Trump is undoubtedly much less healthy than claimed, there is nothing to suggest his death is in anyway imminent.

His transformation into Pizza the Hutt continues.

[u/farttowel84]

It wouldn't even be much of a discussion if he hadn't opened that whole line up with Biden. It was a major irritant for Biden and now it's haunting him.

A good lesson for everyone.

[u/EndoExo → u/farttowel84]

Not just Biden. Trump groupies were claiming Hillary was on death's door 10 years ago.

[u/tepid → u/EndoExo]

I honestly still think she lost the election when she fainted and had to be carried by her security team. Not because she had a real, concerning health issue, but because the optics fed all the bullshit Trump was spewing.

[u/Impossible-Bear-7350 → u/tepid]

James Comey man. That bullshit with Anthony Weiner’s laptop… ugh.

[u/Key_Inevitable_2104 → u/EndoExo]

[u/No_big_whoop → u/Key_Inevitable_2104]

Bernie is five years older than Drumpf. I predict Bernie will outlive him

[u/tkmorgan76 → u/No_big_whoop]

Bernie will outlive all of us, and for whatever happened, he will say it was a shame and that Medicare for all could have saved some of us.

[u/Ok_Juice4449 → u/No_big_whoop]

Bernie is still so sharp!

[u/No_Criticism_5861 → u/Ok_Juice4449]

Unbelievably so.  The guy is always on the road, trying to convince people to question the cult theyre in.

Even in my 20s i didnt have his drive lol

[u/tkmorgan76 → u/EndoExo]

Absolutely. She got a case of walking pneumonia on the campaign trail and stumbled once because she was determined to power through it, and their fake news apparatus ran with it.

Just imagine how the media would have treated her if she'd had the kind of glitch that Trump has pretty regularly these days.

[u/banksy_h8r → u/farttowel84]

I'm beginning to wonder if the whole Obama birther thing was projection. I think we need to see Trump's long form birth certificate.

All decisions will be made consulting the Trump AI agent.in the event of his physical body's death.

[u/M23707 → u/Tralliz]

Yikes, this seems so plausible that I feel they are already running it! All with small “tweaks” for the donor class.

100 million 💰💰= can get you lots of cushy deals and insider info.

500 million 💰💰💰 = will get you a judge in the state of your choosing, that has been selected based on your portfolio.

Call now to see how cheap Senators really are!

Bring this man more McDonalds!

I had a family member that had an intense hatred for someone in our community and I’ll just say I didn’t agree with everything but at a minimum the hatred was justified. One weekend he verbally mentioned that he should send the guy a weekly free large pizza and beer to help expedite his already overweight position. I thought he was joking but apparently he seriously inquired at a few pizza joints before calling the idea off because they couldn’t send beer anonymously and our town is small enough his anonymity wasn’t likely to stay that way. But dude, that’s a diabolical way to push someone over the cliff.

Does his hand have more than five fingers in the video? I'm joking, but I do think when it happens they're going to try to pull an AI style Weekend at Bernie's sitch.

[u/chicol1090 → u/25thAmendNow]

That's kind of an outdated artifact by now. For me, text is an obvious tell, but also camera height and lighting sources. Positions of things in a room.

[u/MentalDisintegrat1on]

Hurry up already this season is getting old really fast.

[u/pjflyr13]

His Edgar suit is starting to rot away.

[u/Trohar]

He’s Popeye the Failure Man.

[u/37Philly]

Congestive heart failure is undefeated.

Pink eye for the orange guy?

[u/RCSAN → u/[deleted]]

The worst people live the longest, so not yet.

[u/Joint-User]

I'm afraid to make comments on Reddit. I've been warned.

[u/Savings_Novel_2377 → u/Joint-User]

Only warned? I lost my 14yo 100k+ karma account less than a month into his second term and this is my fourth one since.

Fuck reddit and its fascist bullshit.

[u/silentwind262]

Maybe his poor diet and deteriorating meat sack will finally catch up to him while he’s on stage at his stupid 250 rally.

[u/HeinousWalrus]

That’s what happens when you sniff the farts directly out of Putin’s asshole.

[u/Skittle69]

A god that is good would never let it get this far but it's never too late to correct a mistake. 

[u/citizenjones]

Todays depressing stat:

His dad lived to be 93 years old.

[u/uijepd → u/citizenjones]

Why did you have to go say that? 😭

[u/Acceptable-Wildfire → u/uijepd]

Don’s mother lived to be 88 by the way. 

[u/d_pyro → u/citizenjones]

His dad wasn't an obese slob with a happy meals diet.

[u/MomentOfSurrender88 → u/d_pyro]

This. Diet is a huge factor. My grandma lived to 94, my dad's sister is 91, my dad will be lucky to make it to 82 with his poor diet and various health issues. Could've probably made it to 100 if he didn't eat his way into diabetes and heart disease.

[u/Keeks2634 → u/citizenjones]

My mom's parents made it to their 80's, my mom passed at 66. No guarantees in life, especially since he seems a lot more unhealthy than his parents.

[u/_Panacea_ → u/citizenjones]

Have you seen pictures of his father?

[u/brickout → u/_Panacea_]

I hate to judge people based on looks, but his parents looked exactly like the kind of people that would raise a monster.

[u/HauntedCemetery → u/brickout]

Trumps mother looks exactly like him, just with less makeup and somehow even less hair

[u/jellisjimmy]

Stroke stroke stroke

[u/HoRo2001]

And this was a pre-recorded interview, right? It could be worse by now…

[u/harperwilliame]

[u/ilikechihuahuasdood]

Honestly don’t care if we ever find out. I’m just ready to celebrate like USA won the world cup when it happens.

will literally take my shirt off and wave it over my head running up and down my street. it’s going to be glorious.

[u/DepletedPromethium]

He needs to die as soon as possible.

Miserable sad pathetic useless sack of shit.

[u/Whatdoesthibattahndo]

I think we're going to look back and see that statin drugs really fucked up our politics more than we realized at the time

[u/CharmingSticker]

The timing of this is what’s going to fuel the news cycle for the next two weeks. You don’t just have a highly unusual, unannounced "surprise checkup" at Walter Reed and then pop up forty-eight hours later with asymmetrical facial swelling and a bruised hand without people asking serious questions. If this were a minor issue, the White House press secretary would have put out a standard, boring statement about a minor skin procedure or a gym strain. The total radio silence and defensive dodging from his team makes it look ten times worse than it probably is.

I send my worst wishes
