Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

His insufficiencies are not limited to his blood vessels.
Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!
You know he's seriously worried about the Epstein stuff if he's announcing a health issue. Normally he's far too vain to admit even the slightest of health problems.
He's both too vain and not vein enough
Underrated comment
While that's one part, they had to say something because of that picture of his legs.
CVI can cause swelling like that and is sort of treatable, but at his age another common cause of that ankle edema is late stage heart failure. As in "probably wouldn't last term" late stage. And that rumour spreading would cause him major issues, like people spending more money on Vance than him.
All I read was "heart failure". I may need to talk to my doctor in 4 hours.
Congestive Heart Failure is super scary, but survivable. Shit, I did it. In my case it was caused by an irregular heart beat following open heart surgery.
My fluid retention was all in my chest though, not my legs. I couldn't lay down because it felt like I was drowning. (Because, thanks to the fluid, I was drowning.)
They pulled 4 liters of fluid off me every day for 7 days, then ran an electrocardioversion to fix the heart beat.
For those at home:
4 liters of fluid:
Electrocardioversion:
It just shows the sacrifices he's willing to make ~~for the nation~~ to save his own skin!
This is a distraction from the Epstein files.
Can we make this a standard message for every Trump post?
Yeah I figured it was a given. Dude never admits to being unhealthy.
Epstine?
Oops good call. Fixed
Cool
We know he's 6'3" and 224 pounds with a resting heartbeat of 62 bpm. How could he possibly have health problems?
Gavin Newsom is 6'3" and he's got at least 1 inch on Dump (maybe more depending on heel inserts)
I'm actually 6'3, and even when I was 290lb, I was thinner than Trump.
6’2 and I just went below 260lbs for the first time in a while and I’m much thinner than his bloated ass. Doing 9 miles of walking at work a day is slimming myself down big time.
Hight? Sure, maybe.
224lbs? Likely short about 40
Resting bpm 62? Must have had him at a good time.
BP 128/74? FAT fucking chance, thats for SURE fudged.
This was in April so maybe he had a rapid deescalation in health but that mans feet SCREAM chronically high BP
Pretty sure that was the joke. I don't know how they can lie about the height of someone who must certainly be one of the most photographed people in the world (POTUS, I mean, why in the world anyone would want to photograph Trump himself is beyond me), but pretty sure even that one is wrong. The others are much easier to lie about, even if they are obviously wrong.
It's been a thing people have talked about for a long time that Trump wears lifts to make himself look taller.
But fuck trans people for wearing clothes that change their presentation.
He such a hypocrite, but I suppose it's one of his least bad qualities when so much about him is awful.
No way his resting heart rate is 62bpm. The man does not exercise.
The man does not exercise.
Do hamberder and Coca-Cola curls count?
"Hey, that's DIET Coca-cola!
Uh, pass over that bucket of KFC." - the Donvict
Imagine how much exercise he could get if he walked while playing golf rather than riding carts.
What do you mean?! here he is walking up stairs with the DEMOCRATIC FAKE NEWS covid HOAX!!! just fine. You telling me walking up a flight of stairs to get in a plane isn't exercise? Get outta here.
Are you saying that they lied about his health!? Say it ain't so!
There's absolutely no way he's 6'3".
Gavin Newsom is 6'3" and he's got at least 1 inch on Dump (maybe more depending on heel inserts)
According to google its usually not fatal, but its comorbid with diabetes and several types of heart failure
So, you’re telling me there’s a chance.
Thanks for saving me a search!
The conspiracy theory going around is that when she removes her cross necklace , she's aware she's lying..
Most of us know she's lying because her mouth is open, however.
It's a crucifix fyi.
*It's a horcrux
whorecrux*
The line's "that's a cross".
I like to think of it as a lower case "t" when I see that it means "time to leave"
Call me when it gets interesting…
That's not the only thing chronically insufficient about him.
Distraction is key.
Chronic penis insufficiency? Sounds about right.
Is this the first time we've received REAL data about Trump's health since he took office in 2016? I didn't think this administration was capable of truth, even by accident.
That's how desperate they are to get people talking about anything but Epstein. Unless Trump keels over dead don't fall for it, keep pushing on the Epstein connection.
Hell, even if he dies. Children aren't the only people he's in bed with and they all deserve to get brought down as well.
Everyone hide their couches when President Vance takes over....
We find your veins to be . . . insufficient.
So? It's not like He's OLD or Anything that could COMPLICATE a Health Issue!
