According to the admin, Trump is a perfectly healthy man. He just bleeds constantly, doesn’t wear his compression socks, regularly OD’s on asprin, and eats enough McDonalds in a single sitting to feed a small family
Aspirin? WTF? Doesn’t Trump know that someone at his advanced state of pregnancy shouldn’t be taking aspirin?

But he can still tell time and identify a giraffe!
And those are the skills we need most in a leader, right!?!

Remember: if Trump’s ticker finally implodes from age and cholesteral before January 21st 2027, then it counts as serving a full term for JD Vance and he can only be re-elected once.
I used to believe that Vance could never be elected president on his own merits but, well, we live in stupid times.

Yes – it’s perfectly normal to think a morbidly obese 79 year old with swollen legs, bruised hands, with balance issues and is at times incoherent is a picture of good health

Trumps body operates like battery. You just have to feed it McDonald’s and it keeps going and going.

It certainly isn’t Trump. He always professes that he doesn’t know anything.

Give that man as much McDonald’s as he can handle, and don’t tell him what to wear
I want a good party before spring comes

The fact that he doesn’t connect the dots between abusing blood thinners ( in this case, aspirin) and the wound on his hand not properly coagulating, is wild.

If that is his McDonalds order no amount of aspirin is gonna thin that blood out.

If your blood is too thin then you’re prone to bleeding and it takes longer for wounds to heal. Dude is an idiot.

I admit, I am slightly overweight in my 30s, but even I couldn’t put away all that McDonald’s in one try. If it weren’t for his constant medical care courtesy of taxpayers, he’d have probably died long ago.

I’m also calling stroke. When he’s “blinking” on camera, the right side of his face looks like he’s slowly melting.

Not wearing his socks?
Just one more thing keeping blood from his brain.

So you’re saying he’s also physically thin skinned

He is so completely full of shit. He’s not taking fistfuls of aspirin. And that CT scan did not show him to be a perfectly healthy specimen with no heart problems.
This was a puff piece.

Fuck the WSJ. Here’s the full article (part 1):
>WASHINGTON—President Trump is taking more aspirin than his doctors recommend. He briefly tried wearing compression socks for his swelling ankles, but stopped because he didn’t like them. And he regrets undergoing advanced imaging because it generated scrutiny of his health.
>“In retrospect, it’s too bad I took it because it gave them a little ammunition,” Trump said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on his decision to get a cardiovascular and abdominal scan in October. “I would have been a lot better off if they didn’t, because the fact that I took it said, ‘Oh gee, is something wrong?’ Well, nothing’s wrong.”
>Trump, 79, the oldest man to assume the presidency, is showing signs of aging in public and private, according to people close to him. Yet he has at times eschewed the advice of his doctors and scoffed at the medical community’s widely accepted health recommendations, relying instead on what he calls his “good genetics.” Trump and his doctor say he is in excellent health, and aides say he maintains a vigorous schedule.
>Trump gets little sleep and has recently struggled to keep his eyes open during several televised events in the West Wing. Aides, donors and friends say they often have to speak loudly in meetings with the president because he strains to hear. Aside from golf, Trump doesn’t get regular exercise, and he is known to consume a diet heavy on salty and fatty foods, such as hamburgers and french fries.
>The large dose of aspirin he chooses to take daily has caused him to bruise easily, he said, and he has been encouraged by his doctors to take a lower dose. But Trump has declined to switch because he has been taking it for 25 years. “I’m a little superstitious,” he said in the interview.
>“They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart,” Trump said. “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”
>Trump denied that he struggles to hear. He also denied falling asleep at recent White House events and said he has always gotten by on little sleep.
>The president has sometimes described his medical care inaccurately. He has for weeks said that he underwent an MRI at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in October. When asked about the procedure by the Journal, Trump and his doctor said he got a different form of imaging: a CT scan.
>A CT scan is a faster and more common way to capture detailed images of the body. The MRI is a slower test that is superior for soft tissues.
>“It wasn’t an MRI,” Trump told the Journal. “It was less than that. It was a scan.”
>Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, Trump’s doctor, confirmed in a statement to the Journal that Trump had received a CT scan. Barbabella said Trump’s doctors initially told him they would perform either an MRI or a CT scan, and they ultimately decided to do the latter. Barbabella said the CT scan was done “to definitively rule out any cardiovascular issues” and revealed no abnormalities. The White House declined to make Barbabella available for an interview.
>White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the White House had often referred to the procedure as “advanced imaging” and didn’t address why the president hadn’t corrected the record sooner.
>Delicate skin
>The president has sought to conceal ailments that have led to speculation about his health, covering bruising on his hand with makeup. In his first term, he played down the severity of his Covid-19 symptoms and declined to disclose that he got a colonoscopy.
>His physical signs of aging are becoming more evident to some of his closest advisers. His skin is so delicate that Pam Bondi, now his attorney general, caused his hand to bleed when she nicked him with her ring while giving him a high-five at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

I cannot imagine Donald Trump at his age with his diet is throughly wiping his ass.
Dude walking around with shit at both ends.
timkatt10 on
I feel like he must be on a much higher dose of statin given his diet than is officially released.
hb122 on
I watch my sodium intake carefully and there was enough sodium in that McDonald’s pig out to kill a horse. I don’t care how many bp medications he’s on, that much sodium will make his bp soar.
Between his weight and his diet he’s a prime candidate for a stroke.

The headline confuses defiance and denial
So Trump “Responds with Defiance” while Biden aging [“Shows Signs of Slipping.”](https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/joe-biden-age-election-2024-8ee15246?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqdtknuDsOcZsQZOwlBBBueqsMCBMgbvLTuu6GykJa7y7lz-3P09MMf1JcnvC0Y%3D&gaa_ts=6956c78b&gaa_sig=_luuSP30EoZDXJIFe2yVJZGfkA5YZYZyf26KkYLwNsTx6pIeKVEPuTVr_fg2rfaVxy3eP2ohp3RCWhfPyz3wAw%3D%3D)
Fuck off with WSJ conservative bs. Trump is a syphilitic pedophile simple-minded criminal bastard who needs to be impeached immediately.
The thing that bothers me the most about this thread? The fact I’ve definitely eaten more McDonald’s than that in one sitting.
Sweet, sweet aspirin. Smooth blood for a smooth brain.
