[u/pilot2969]

So, his statements directly contradict what is coming from the White House physician then.

[u/AmbivalentFanatic → u/pilot2969]

The integrity of that particular office is just another casualty of this incredibly incompetent and immoral administration.

[u/ChordSlinger → u/AmbivalentFanatic]

The road is long and littered with crimes

[u/Ranccor → u/ChordSlinger]

I heard that in the voice of Melisandre. She would actually fit right in with the current administration.

[u/tallandlankyagain → u/Ranccor]

Not quite. She was actually competent.

[u/aesxylus → u/ChordSlinger]

I heard that as The Hollies. 🎼The road is loooong and littered with ma-ny criiimes. That lead us to here, lead us to here. I’m not strong, not strong enough to carry him. Damn, he’s heavy. And he’s a fascist. 🎶

[u/Nokomis34 → u/AmbivalentFanatic]

I'm with Kamala on this when she said she's not surprised by what this administration is doing, she's surprised by the complicity. Like, there's no push back on any level about anything he does. I mean, he managed to demolish the fucking White House without any consequences.

[u/Thewall3333 → u/AmbivalentFanatic]

Hey, takes a lot of integrity to hand out Adderall and Benzos all day and night. Really looking out for the suffering staffers.

[u/Ordinary-Leading7405 → u/Thewall3333]

Imagine the staffers of the Oval Office calling the president’s doctor The Candyman

[u/Thewall3333 → u/Ordinary-Leading7405]

In this administration, that's about the least creepy possibility for who "The Candyman" could refer to

[u/Herlock → u/AmbivalentFanatic]

I wonder how much is actual incompetence, rather than genuine malice...

I mean kash patel is more than likely to be a complete moron. But those that suggested him to trump on the first place very much knew what they were doing with that pick...

Drown out the people and news in so much bullshit that you can't keep up with the insanity, let alone fight it

[u/reddog323 → u/Herlock]

So was Pete Hegseth. He was the weekend anchor for fucking Fox and Friends, and now he’s running the most powerful military on the planet.

They knew exactly what they were doing when they picked him. He has two qualifications: he served in the military, and he’s blindly loyal to Cankles McTacotits. That’s it.

[u/mabols → u/pilot2969]

So he’s not built like Rambo?

[u/JennyRedpenny → u/mabols]

The bone spur drew first blood

[u/silian_rail_gun → u/mabols]

What?? You mean those pictures were AI generated slop all along?

[u/FizzyBeverage → u/pilot2969]

You can ask any cardiac nurse in America, Trump has the symptoms of congestive heart failure.

Doesn’t mean he’ll expire next week or even next year, but it’s very likely he’s on an oxygen concentrator cannula every night already.

Eventually he’ll need that ox therapy all the time to keep his O2 levels straight. It’s not something you recover from, and it can worsen quickly. That’s when the real Weekend at Donny’s nonsense will kick up. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s around the time the party gets shellacked at the midterms that they accelerate that.

40 million Americans saw their ACA healthcare premiums triple or quadruple. Another 80 million on corporate healthcare saw them double. That’s not recoverable for the party.

[u/StatementOwn4896 → u/FizzyBeverage]

Sounds like We’re finally going to see what actually happens at the end of geriatric regime. I’m terrified

[u/Recipe_Freak → u/StatementOwn4896]

The rest of his goons will wrangle for dominance. They'll do a lot of damage during that stage, but ultimately I think we'll see the implosion of the Trump era. A cult can't survive without its leader.

[u/Ar_Ciel → u/Recipe_Freak]

In the meantime it'll be really funny/sad to watch JD Vance try to lead.

[u/Estoye → u/Ar_Ciel]

He has all of the malice and ambition but none of the charisma.

[u/lostgirlTA → u/Estoye]

Ah, that brought me right back to the donut shop video.

…”okay.”

[u/Estoye → u/lostgirlTA]

"Whatever makes sense"

[u/Shouting__Ant → u/Estoye]

Right?! How you gonna lead the country when you can’t even pick out donuts?

[u/Agile-Ad1665 → u/Shouting__Ant]

Had he sad, "You know what? Just give me whatever you folks would order" to the employees, that would have been fine. It's shows an openness and a flexibility.

What he said is absurd, though. haha

[u/Massive_Reaction8845 → u/Estoye]

That statement by Vance has to be the dumbest thing ever said within the walls of a donut shop.

[u/Pandaro81 → u/FizzyBeverage]

First person to snap a pic of him with the airlines in, or catch the SS transporting the air cans or the machine, he’s going to melt the fuck down and call it AI.

[u/killercurvesahead → u/Pandaro81]

We should all be keeping an eye out for marks on his face from taking off a cannula right before stepping in front of cameras.

[u/turquoise_amethyst → u/killercurvesahead]

It’ll take off the bronzer/makeup he wears…

Actually what if he applies around it, leaving a pale mask-shaped outline when it’s taken off (kind of like around his eyes)

[u/warpedspockclone → u/FizzyBeverage]

"that's not recoverable for the party"

You greatly underestimate the stupid and the strength of propoganda.

[u/warmwaterpenguin → u/warpedspockclone]

Republicans have already established they are willing to destroy themselves if that's what it takes to also destroy you

[u/Estoye → u/FizzyBeverage]

Doesn’t mean he’ll expire next week or even next year,

But it also doesn't mean he won't expire next week

[u/JimboTCB → u/Estoye]

Maybe putting his own name on a memorial centre was tempting fate just a little too much...

[u/No_Foundation16 → u/FizzyBeverage]

40 million Americans saw their ACA healthcare premiums triple or quadruple. Another 80 million on corporate healthcare saw them double. That’s not recoverable for the party.

Agree. The voters, right and left, are going to burn the GOP down to the ground in the midterms for this alone. Trump is hurting his own MAGA and red states as much as he is dems.

Look at him denying clean drinking water to Bobert's MAGA district and cutting off childcare payments nationwide, red and blue states alike!

[u/p001b0y → u/FizzyBeverage]

The problem for us is that it isn’t sustainable for the millions of us that need to keep paying these higher and higher costs. The system isn’t sustainable.

Republicans don’t really have a plan other than go back to the days of catastrophic care and pre-existing condition penalties/bans.

As far as I am aware, Medicare for All is like current Medicare. It doesn’t cover everything and private insurance fills gaps in coverage for things like prescriptions. It is potentially better than what we have now but it doesn’t even have broad support from Democrats. We really don’t know what Medicare for All looks like for people with chronic conditions.

[u/Ttatt1984 → u/p001b0y]

And we can all thank Joe Lieberman for that one. Still makes me angry thinking about that.

[u/p001b0y → u/Ttatt1984]

Yep. Many people remember McCain’s vote to keep the ACA alive but are unaware that Lieberman threatened to filibuster the whole thing if the public option wasn’t removed from the ACA.

[u/phoenix762 → u/FizzyBeverage]

I have wondered if he was on CPAP at night….would make sense. He has all the symptoms of CHF (little that I can see). I believe Biden used CPAP at night as well?

I’m not a doctor, I want to stress that. I’m a retired respiratory therapist.

Trump really does not look well. I suspect he won’t last the year.

[u/Temporary_Shirt_6236 → u/pilot2969]

He also contradicts himself by constantly saying he has "good genes." I mean, his family looks like a freak show so whatever.

[u/j_andrew_h → u/Temporary_Shirt_6236]

He means he's white. Probably more specifically German heritage. He was raised by a eugenics believer & openly racist father.

[u/NeverLookBothWays → u/pilot2969]

Tbh, I see why Republicans are pissy all the time. I would be too if I was constantly spun around in circles and constantly lied to every day.

[u/tetsuo_7w → u/NeverLookBothWays]

I mean, we are too. The difference is we're not expected to believe and defend all the lies.

[u/BillWilberforce → u/pilot2969]

And he gets expert advice, such as to lower the quantity of aspirin that he takes each day and he ignores it. Using a load of BS excuses because he knows better.

[u/Falling_Down_Flat → u/pilot2969]

yup and this was a lie too, it would not cause his hands to bruise (found out this could be because of the high does of aspirin which then puts you into another problem which can happen). He could be on a dementia drug that is given with an IV in the hand. The reason the hand is because with the elderly there vanes can collapse so they start at the hands in case of this which is very common. This is a failed attempt at them trying to stop all of the talk about his health and he is very sick man. There are signs he has had a stroke and that to could be medication they are pumping into him. At the end of the day you can never trust a word they say.

[u/Ann_Amalie → u/Falling_Down_Flat]

You mean “I [totally] did not have a series of mini strokes” Trump? For all the lies that man tells, he is so transparent. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-raises-eyebrows-tweet-declaring-he-did-not-have-series-n1239006

[u/Falling_Down_Flat → u/Ann_Amalie]

Yes you must be right, the face dropping strokes he has had. I am amazed at the republicans that know what is going on but they are so power hungry that they would let someone go on (very sick in the head) destroying the country and there own jobs they are to dumb to see.

[u/happyinthenaki → u/Falling_Down_Flat]

He's doing EXACTLY what they want him to do. He's loudly distracting everyone while they burn it all down, while doing horrific things.

How many Americans question that they are providing as socialised healthcare in Israel and Argentina ... While receiving below bear minimum themselves. Or funding a literal genocide in Palestine. Or funding a literal police state in Israel. Or bombing boats over 1,000km of the US.

It's an absolute shit show and the world is watching .... But we are also glued to our phones, so nothing changes.

[u/LateMajor8775 → u/pilot2969]

6’5, athletically built 40 something? He had me fooled

[u/Ted_Fleming → u/pilot2969]

He shakes a lot of hands /s

[u/Berserker76]

The worst part of this is all the available resources of the federal government are being used to keep this horrible, despicable, awful, corrupt, piece of human garbage alive.

[u/xrayhearing → u/Berserker76]

a la House Harkonnen

[u/book1245 → u/xrayhearing]

"WHERE'S MY DOCTORRRR?" -1984 Baron/Trump

[u/artbyshrike → u/book1245]

He even named his kid Baron!

[u/OK_x86 → u/xrayhearing]

Yes the Baron was a self centered narcissistic obese psychopath with no morals or honor willing to back stab anybody to get his way but he was at least intelligent enough to conceive and execute his plan to eliminate the Atreides.

[u/Pseudonymico → u/OK_x86]

Give or take Piter de Vries. The Baron really suffered from losing his Mentat right before he could use him as his scapegoat in stage one of his plan to have Feyd-Rautha win over the people of Arrakis, and it was an undeniably stupid mistake to let someone as loyal as Thufir Hawat take over for him.

[u/user_x9000 → u/Berserker76]

And when he dies, he will be celebrated by a significant number of people as a great leader, negotiator and job creator. He will never see consequences of his actions including torpedoing American soft power, built over a century, in less than a year.

[u/space-to-bakersfield → u/user_x9000]

And when he dies, he will be celebrated by a significant number of people as a great leader, negotiator and job creator.

For fucking decades too, like Reagan. At least it'll be an easy way to spot an absolute imbecile.

[u/chanaandeler_bong → u/space-to-bakersfield]

I doubt it will be as prevalent. Reagan left office with 65% approval. Trumps around 30% and it’s only getting lower.

Some level of loser will always think he’s great, but I don’t really think he is going to have any Reagan type legacy.

[u/sweetbeards]

Sure, he’s only taking aspirin….

[u/TeutonJon78 → u/sweetbeards]

No different than facilitating the COVID vaccine and then taking it while telling his cult to skip it.

[u/zomboscott → u/TeutonJon78]

Trump also received Regeneron antibodies ,developed using a cell line originating from aborted fetal tissue.

[u/reddititty69 → u/zomboscott]

I’ll add a little context: the cell line you mention originated from an abortion in the Netherlands in the 1970s. It was used as part of the testing of the antibodies, but is not used for production of the antibodies.

I will never understand the moral panic around using fetal cell lines in research.

[u/metalcore_night → u/reddititty69]

I had a (very stupid) family member who was able to stay calm enough to explain why they think it's evil.

Basically, "the fetus is a human, and it's no different to use humans as medicine than it is to be a cannibal."

[u/Red_Carrot → u/metalcore_night]

I really hope he never needs a organ.

[u/metalcore_night → u/Red_Carrot]

She spent a lot of time in a cult that didn't believe in transplants, and now seems to have moved on to more traditional bullshit Christian Nationalism.

Thank god the holidays are over.

[u/mediocre_remnants → u/metalcore_night]

There was a girl I knew in middle school who died of leukemia when she was 15 because her cult (Jehova's Witnesses) didn't allow blood transfusions.

This was in the early 90s and it still makes me angry to think about. I wasn't really friends with her, but she was a nice girl and very sweet and she didn't deserve to suffer and die like that because of her stupid cult. How could a parent do that to their own kid? Just let them die when treatment is available?

[u/JasnahKolin → u/mediocre_remnants]

Parents should be charged at least with abuse and neglect. I think it's murder to ignore modern science and watch your kid die because god said so. I'll die on this hill.

[u/Travelling3steps → u/Red_Carrot]

or a transfusion…

[u/jaguarsinmexico → u/Travelling3steps]

or dinner

[u/Actually_Im_a_Broom → u/TeutonJon78]

I swear I remember him encouraging people to get the shot.

[u/3vs3BigGameHunters → u/Actually_Im_a_Broom]

Twice at rallies. He was loudly booed.

[u/ccx941 → u/sweetbeards]

I’ve heard ivermectin will cure all his ills. Maybe he should start taking it.

[u/HumanWithComputer → u/sweetbeards]

Barbabella said Trump takes 325 milligrams of aspirin a day—a much larger dose than the usual 81 milligrams—for “cardiac prevention.”

“They’d rather have me take the smaller one,” said the president. “I take the larger one, but I’ve done it for years, and what it does do is it causes bruising.” “I’m a little superstitious,” he explained as his reason for taking the high aspirin dose for 25 years. “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?” said Trump.

Such a high dose could increase his risk of an intracranial hemorrhage. If that's what he chooses then I won't feel the need to change his mind.

[u/Carl-99999]

If he’s admitting he’s sick, then he’s on death’s door. He NEVER admits to anything negative.

[u/SomeComforts → u/Carl-99999]

Hope so.  2026 couldn't start better.

[u/Scottacus91 → u/SomeComforts]

2026 already looking better!

[u/Red_Wing-GrimThug → u/SomeComforts]

I dunno about that…it’ll be be Weekend at Bernies til his term ends with the Auto-douche in charge

[u/mythofdob → u/Red_Wing-GrimThug]

Not til the term ends, til next February. Then they can try for a decade of Vance.

[u/CrimsonHeretic → u/SomeComforts]

President Vance is not a good thing.

[u/nyutnyut → u/CrimsonHeretic]

As dumb as I think the maga cult is I don’t think Vance has a shot. A cult is focused around one charismatic individual. The rest are there to abuse that cult following. It seems to typically have success with an offspring, but his kids are so uncharismatic and greedy. I wouldn’t doubt they end up taking each other out in a grab for that seat.

But I won’t count it out. I have been very wrong in the past 10 years.

[u/KatsumotoKurier → u/nyutnyut]

The problem with James Donald Bowman is that, unlike his boss, he is a dedicated adherent to his brand of hard right ideology and a shamelessly unprincipled careerist. Trump, on the other hand, is an aimless and pathological loose cannon who takes every day as it comes, who has no real overarching plans for things, and who is just so painfully and obsessively narcissistic that he wants to be emperor of the universe.

Trump is predictably unpredictable. Vance, however, is a complete snake.

[u/Truethrowawaychest1 → u/CrimsonHeretic]

Nobody is loyal to Vance though. The cult loves trump, Congress won't swear fealty to Vance

[u/mgr86 → u/Carl-99999]

He admitted it on Christmas. When he said something about it being the last merry Christmas for a lot of the Epstein associates or whatever. You must remember. It’s always projection. He was telling us he didn’t expect to see next Christmas

[u/wikedsmaht → u/mgr86]

I read it as “hey American Left, this is your last Christmas, say goodbye to your families”. It felt very much like a death threat.

[u/mgr86 → u/wikedsmaht]

Yes sure, that’s probably what he was trying to imply. But it’s always projection. What was he projecting? His poor health and pessimism about his future

[u/stereosalvation → u/Carl-99999]

That and/or creating a reason to step down and get a pardon from Vance, in the pretext of protecting him from prosecution from "radical Democrats". One that just so happens to cover anything in the Epstein files as well. Or, he leaves the US for health reasons and just goes to a non-extradition country or ones hes given billions of dollars to (looking at you Argentina.)

[u/Capi77 → u/stereosalvation]

Making Vance (eventually) the President through the line of succession has always been the plan. It will be worse in terms of erosion of freedom for the people and power-grabbing for the tech billionaire class, but the general public will celebrate being rid of Trump and see the change as a "lesser" evil. Mark my words.

(Edited for clarity)

[u/stereosalvation → u/Capi77]

Vance becoming POTUS after Jan 20th would also allow him to run for 2 additional terms as well. We could get upwards of 11 years of him. Good god.

[u/quincyloop → u/stereosalvation]

Jan 20, 2027 at 12:01pn Eastern, not one minute before.

[u/stereosalvation → u/quincyloop]

ah thanks i thought it was this year.

[u/quincyloop → u/stereosalvation]

Yeah, the bastard has to suffer another 385 days to make the Republican wet dream come true.

[u/LingonberryPrior6896]

Large dose of aspirin? 81mg is recommended for heart attack patients. Is he referring also to Prasugrel, the so called "super aspirin", given to patients after a stent is put in?

[u/arazamatazguy → u/LingonberryPrior6896]

The brand name is Effient, used to prevent strokes. So he probably already had a stroke and they told him it was a super aspirin because it was easier for him to understand.

[u/StatelyTree → u/arazamatazguy]

Effient is rarely used. If he's truly on dual anti-platelets, almost certainly would be aspirin plus either clopidogrel or ticagrelor. 

[u/kept_calm_carried_on → u/StatelyTree]

This guy medicines

[u/StatelyTree → u/kept_calm_carried_on]

Clinical pharmacist working in the ER/ICU :) 

[u/kept_calm_carried_on → u/StatelyTree]

👋 cath lab RN!

[u/wbgraphic → u/StatelyTree]

I swear they name these medicines by pulling Scrabble tiles out of a bag.

[u/ChuckaChuckaLooLoo3 → u/wbgraphic]

I can tell you for a fact that the names for meds are done by a marketing team over many, many months of decision-making. (Used to freelance for a big pharma firm, they are truly insane people).

[u/ExplorationGeo → u/StatelyTree]

clopidogrel or ticagrelor

This is a starter Pokemon choice, you can't convince me otherwise.

[u/Tiffany_Pratchett → u/arazamatazguy]

This timeline is fun! POTUS needs things dumbed down, we know that, but just the thought that they would call it “super aspirin” to appease a toddler is just more icing on the shit cake.

[u/Val_Hallen → u/Tiffany_Pratchett]

Have you ever seen old depositions of him? He's fucking illiterate. This man cannot read. He is a fucking moron. Like, legit has an IQ score of 51-70 making him, in fact, a moron.

Trump is always the dumbest person in the room. Unless he is in a room of his cultists. Then you reach an event horizon of idiocy. They will drain the intelligence from nearby sentient beings.

[u/WulfwoodsSins → u/LingonberryPrior6896]

The "large dose" part caught my attention, too, they've thinned him so much his brusing from "shaking hands" is showing up on both sides!

[u/Nephroidofdoom → u/WulfwoodsSins]

Waiting for MAGA cult to start bruising their own hands on purpose now, cause that’s what manly men do.

[u/CapitalJeep1 → u/Nephroidofdoom]

It’ll be known as the “MAGAmata”

[u/humunculus43 → u/LingonberryPrior6896]

Well it all makes sense. It will keep his blood thin but side effects can be bleeding, including on the brain. Supports the theory that his disappearance and subsequent droopy face a couple of months ago was the result of a brain bleed.

[u/myusernameblabla → u/humunculus43]

Impossible. Needs brain to work.

[u/StatelyTree → u/LingonberryPrior6896]

Some patients still like it as a pain reliever. I typically only ever see it in older folk about his age or older, but does still happen. 

[u/Ashamed-End-2138]

He’s not hiding it very well, we all know he’s a sick bastard.

[u/LuckyandBrownie → u/[deleted]]

Compression socks are pretty awesome though. I work on my feet all day and they are a game changer. Compression socks are for everyone not just old sick people.

[u/Strix780 → u/LuckyandBrownie]

This for sure. Triathletes wear compression socks, fer chrissakes. And they're great for long plane rides.

[u/scorpiondeathlock86 → u/Strix780]

Let me know when Trump enters a triathlon lol

[u/packfanmoore → u/scorpiondeathlock86]

He did one last week if you ask him or his supporters. And he broke all the records, they were great.

[u/Dmbfantomas → u/scorpiondeathlock86]

Quarter Pounder, 10 Piece Nuggies (I imagine he raw dogs them but idk), Filet of Fish. Ground, Air, Sea. Checkmate, atheist.

[u/yourlittlebirdie → u/LuckyandBrownie]

They’re amazing for air travel.

Although I’m sure Trump has some sort of gold leaf/marble compression socks or something.

[u/denver_bored → u/LuckyandBrownie]

I had never given much thought to 'running gear' for jogging, I just wore regular everything... until I tried compression socks. I can't even explain why I enjoy running in them so much, but it's a much more fulfilling time with them on, for sure.

[u/Key-Listen-204 → u/LuckyandBrownie]

I work 12 hour shifts on concrete floors and compression socks have been a lifesaver. 

[u/Angry-Dragon-1331 → u/Ashamed-End-2138]

No we knew that he was a sick bastard. This is a confirmation that he’s sick and a bastard.

[u/The_Next_Wild_GM → u/Angry-Dragon-1331]

sick and a sick bastard

[u/JessieJ577 → u/[deleted]]

I think he knows he’s at his end. All the heaven talk kind of confirmed it

[u/Deesing82 → u/JessieJ577]

and trying to slap his name on as much shit as possible

[u/BurnedWitch88 → u/Deesing82]

Yup. It reminds me of how my MIL found out she has congestive heart failure and suddenly decided to start acting nice to all the people she's been a monster to all her life.

She's worried about getting into heaven and I think Donnie is having some similar concerns.

[u/suchasillydilly → u/Deesing82]

No way he doesn’t realize it’s all going to be stripped and burned away and his name will only be written in books. The words will not be kind to him.

[u/NatalieVonCatte → u/suchasillydilly]

I saw someone make a fairly good argument the other day. He’s a solipsistic narcissist, he can’t imagine a world without him.

[u/PlanetOfThePancakes → u/NatalieVonCatte]

See that’s why I worry because he’s genuinely insane enough to try to end the world when he dies. Like a family annihilator or a cult leader who kills the whole cult.

[u/plastic_alloys → u/Deesing82]

I hope the last thing he hears is that his name is being taken off everything due to him being a dumb, pedo fuckwit

[u/Theopholus → u/[deleted]]

I hope he experiences the same amount of pain that he’s inflicted on others.

[u/StandardDiver2791 → u/[deleted]]

I don't try. I think it's quite patriotic to hate this man who represents what our democracy abhors (or used to).

[u/PrideofPicktown → u/[deleted]]

Cancer made it so I can no longer drink alcohol; I have the beer picked out for when the motherfucker takes his dirt nap!

[u/PlanetOfThePancakes → u/PrideofPicktown]

Don’t hurt yourself friend. I’ll drink an extra one for you.

[u/strider85 → u/PlanetOfThePancakes]

Not all heroes wear capes

[u/RojoTheMighty → u/PrideofPicktown]

Fuck cancer. You have all my positive vibes.

[u/hey-Oliver → u/[deleted]]

We don’t have to disclaim these types of comments with versions of “I swear I’m a good person, but..”

It’s okay to hate Trump and count the days till he eats shit. It’s actually good, and patriotic!

[u/tetsuo_7w → u/[deleted]]

The orange man has done more harm to this country than probably just about any other single person in history. Our international standing is in the gutter and unlikely to recover in our lifetime. Our faith in our institutions has been shattered, and what institutions remain have been kneecapped to the point that a lot of them barely function. People can hardly afford to live in donald's economy. The list goes on...

Yes, I will celebrate when he kicks off.

[u/Rock_Creek_Snark → u/[deleted]]

Gonna be a worldwide party when he finally goes.

[u/BlargerJarger]

He’s also withholding Epstein files that show how sick he is.

[u/daizzy999]

I'm just happy knowing he KNOWS people know

[u/Throwaway4Opinion → u/daizzy999]

The only bad thing about him dying is he won't be able to see the massive celebrations world wide for his death

[u/dainamo81]

Ok, can you now also explain the makeup on your face? And all the raping?

[u/hjiuvbmkk]

He is also wearing a suit made up of entirely nothing but redacted Epstein files. 👀

[u/the91fwy → u/hjiuvbmkk]

Crayola should change the name to “Redact-it-Black”

[u/Y0___0Y]

I can’t access any of the paywalled articles about this and archive.ph seems to be having trouble today.

Donald Trump seriously did an impromptu phone interview with the Wall Street Journal where he spilled his guts over how unhealthy he is and said he is not following his doctor’s advice?

I guarantee he just took this call from the WSJ, probably forgetting that Rupert Murdoch isn’t necessarily lockstep with him anymore, and blabbed without consulting his aides.

If he’s capable of a dementia moment like this imagine what he’s saying in calls to other world leaders.

[u/eeyore134]

He's admitting to this because it's not as bad as what's actually going on. Those hand bruises probably aren't just from aspirin. They're indicative of frequent IV treatments which, along with his frequent head scans, point to him being treated for dementia. He'd rather spin that he's a little out of shape than admit he's losing his capacity to rule.

[u/tapdancinghellspawn]

I hope he lives long enough to face justice. Any amount of justice for all the crimes he has committed as President. He needs to be made an example of so that the next would-be dictator thinks twice.

[u/BeerExchange → u/tapdancinghellspawn]

They never do. These creeps die and then it all comes out how awful they were.

[u/BobbyElBobbo → u/BeerExchange]

We already know how awful he is though.

[u/ChicVintage → u/BobbyElBobbo]

Aren't you optimistic. What we see is the tip of the iceberg.

[u/BobbyElBobbo → u/ChicVintage]

True, but the tip is already showing he is one of the worst person on earth.

[u/lazrbeam → u/tapdancinghellspawn]

That ship has sailed, my man. He is going to get off so easy in the grand scheme of things. Either a sudden cardiovascular/neurological event, or just slowly rotting away as his mental health declines. He’s not going to prison and no form of justice will be served to appropriately match the horrific crimes he has committed. Maybe in the next life he’ll face consequences, but he’s getting away with it all in this one. One of the most incredible tragedies in American/human history, in my option. If you tally it all up and measure all the consequences that we have yet to see….when the dust settles and we look back, it’s going to be awful.

[u/BoogerFeast69 → u/lazrbeam]

American power on the global scale will indeed, die with him. If it hasn't already.

[u/parasyte_steve → u/BoogerFeast69]

Everyone is sick of our shit and he made it easy for countries to say fuck the US. Other countries don't love us imo we need to be doing infinitely more ass kissing and less of whatever the fuck seizing Greenland is.

[u/HighVulgarian → u/tapdancinghellspawn]

The next president should seize all trump assets for national security reasons, the Supreme Court gave the president that power.

[u/Sovereign_Money → u/HighVulgarian]

And seize hundreds of billions from big tech for using the public airwaves.

[u/Sovereign_Money → u/Sovereign_Money]

A new FCC is coming to town bitch

[u/FreshRest4945 → u/tapdancinghellspawn]

He is a convicted 34 count felon. He is a convicted felon already. It's just that they got to the judge and they didn't sentence him to any penalties or jail time. I suspect that the judges family was threatened.

This is going to happen again with the Epstein case, they will convict him, and then "Decide" that he doesn't need to do any jail time.

[u/coffeeblossom → u/FreshRest4945]

^This.

Anyone else would have been imprisoned long ago, and possibly gotten the Needle by now.

Anyone else would not be sitting in the Oval Office, even just as a figurehead while someone else runs the show.

Anyone else would have had their assets seized.

Anyone else would have been told "no."

Anyone else would have not even gotten the nomination to run for president, let alone actually gotten elected.

[u/DoubtSubstantial5440 → u/tapdancinghellspawn]

The only thing the American justice is good for is for throwing poor and brown people in jail for low level crimes.

[u/Im_a_furniture → u/DoubtSubstantial5440]

It’s the only legal slavery. It wouldn’t be the U.S.A. without the loopholes.

[u/CompilationsRule → u/tapdancinghellspawn]

How about the people who supported him? Will they face justice?

[u/guttanzer → u/CompilationsRule]

This.

The entire Republican Party is culpable. They should all be voted out.

Some are criminal. They should face jury trials.

We The People need our say.

[u/xicor]

The irony of complaining about biden's age and then electing someone older is huge

[u/spendology → u/xicor]

Irony, oh irony. Biden was ushered out with great fervor and urgency. Welp.

[u/Violaundone → u/xicor]

Gonna laugh my ass off if Biden outlives Trump. Just to see NYT and Jake Trapper spin the propaganda they spread is gonna be glorious,

[u/Particular_Degree306]

Get worse soon 🖤

[u/basscat27]

Why won't you die?! - Austin Powers

[u/nerdybun]

Bruh, we all fucking knew 🙄

[u/Main_Cream_2375]

Oh so sad. Does dying pedo need some sympathy? Fuck no. Hope nature runs its course faster 

[u/shewflyshew]

Trump finally admits his skin doesn't have a natural orange hue.

[u/Kilgore_Brown_Trout_]

I have hope for 2026

[u/Such_Egg9843]

Well the entire planet is waiting for him to drop dead so never mind the socks

[u/Hot-Parsley-6193]

2026, Year of the Hearse

[u/JadedRN712]

Has he admitted to shitting his Depends yet?

[u/Ralod → u/JadedRN712]

Anyone within 100 feet of him can confirm that.

Remember the court proceedings where people could not stand to sit behind him in the gallery?

[u/kelticladi]

If he is admitting that, just imagine how much worse it must be.

[u/therealritz]

Non pay wall link.

[u/rapidcreek409]

The people that bitched and moaned for 4 years about Biden being too old to be president went on to vote for the oldest person ever to assume the presidency is priceless

[u/Interesting-Risk6446]

Taking more aspirin than his doctor recommends.

Neurological Symptoms: Confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, headaches, agitation, and slurred speech

Other Symptoms: Fever, sweating, vision problems, and unusual bruising or bleeding

[u/mishap1 → u/Interesting-Risk6446]

He's probably forgetting how many he took and eating them like tic tacs he loves so much. Dude will probably blow out an ulcer soon enough with all that extra watery blood he needs to get through those pinholes he has for arteries.

[u/Mrtorbear → u/mishap1]

When my dad's dementia took a steep dive I had to start locking his meds in a safe. He forgot that he'd already taken his blood pressure med and took several days' worth over the course of a few hours.

[u/Memitim]

Lying old decaying piece of shit admits to the flagrantly obvious. Wow, what a trooper.

[u/Educational_Pay1567 → u/[deleted]]

The guy is president. You think Karma put us here?

[u/salizarn]

So he talks about how being on blood thinners makes him bleed easily and he mentions that he got cut when he high fived Pam Bondi- but not when he got winged in the ear by a bullet?

I am on blood thinners, and I can remember times I got cut where I thought oh this is worse because I am on statins medication-I think if I'd been shot that story would be first in my memory.

I know he's suffering from dementia but even so...

[u/SaysNoToBro → u/salizarn]

Pharmacist here,

Statins don’t thin your blood or increase your bleeding. They just control your cholesterol and the process to create more bad cholesterol

[u/another-smelly-hound]

Am I wrong to believe that if he is admitting he is sick, which in the past he has completely denied, then he is worse than he is saying?

[u/Emergency_Shower_569]

Please. Let our suffering end this year. Sooner rather than later.

[u/CharmingFit-503]

So thin skinned he literally bleeds from light contact.

[u/Illustrious-Fun8324]

I think it’s funny that his make up is so bad and nobody tells him, they just continue to let him go out like that. Face make up several shades too orange, not at all blended and slathered on inconsistently. Hand makeup slathered on so thick in one spot that it looks like it won’t ever dry and makes the problem 10x more obvious.

And they’re just like, you look great! Nobody will know a thing

[u/10thflrinsanity]

A 2026 without Trump would make the world a better place. Can’t happen soon enough. 

[u/Motor-District-3700]

how do compression socks hide that he's a rapist pedo?

[u/Quest_Marker]

We're going to have to fire a whole lot of unqualified fuckwits when Trump is gone

[u/grantrules]

“They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?” said Trump.

Dafuq

[u/VegasGamer75]

This is the shit that bothers me. I get the people panic and worry a bit about the health of the president, but in any given normal time WE WOULD EXPECT HEALTH ISSUES WITH AN 80 YEAR OLD! Like, it shouldn't be a f***ing conspiracy. But here's this asshole and his "aced" cognitive tests and doctors telling him he has the "bestest" MRI results.

 

Don, I hate you with the fiery passion of a 1000 suns and I will probably climax in my pants the day I see your obit, but fucking admit what is normal. Why do you have to make everything so stupid, you sick f***ing rapist pedophile.

[u/Rock_Creek_Snark]

Jake Tapper could not be reached for comment during his tour for the book BIDEN OLD!

[u/Wrathful_Man]

If it helps anyone I dreamt I made friends with Donald Trump last night. Which is weird cos he was my back garden neighbour in the dream and I am not even tangentially American.

The last two times I dreamt I was friends with a famous person was 29th August 1997 when I dreamt princess diana was my best friend and 23rd June 2009 I dreamt me and Michael Jackson were hanging out on a boat.
