Yeah, the sitting, the swelling, the pallor, the gravelly voice, the bruising, and the complete lack of golfing. Remember when dude played 261 rounds during his first term?

I want to see him empty out like a water balloon on live TV.

Just leave behind a skinsuit that people confuse with Mitch McConnell

https://www.medcentral.com/neurology/dementia/fda-lecanemab-monthly-maintenance-dosing-for-alzheimers

tl/dr - Someone a while ago mentioned this, and it's the one that I personally believe, is that the "MRIs" and the hospital trips are for monthly infusions of lecanemab. Which is why at times he seems cogent (at least when graded on the trump scale) and later in the same month he'll be a raving lunatic. It's the time between his dosages.

Just DEI already

His dad had severe dementia, his grandad had severe dementia, his sister had severe dementia, and he has severe dementia.

From the start his health reporting from Dr. Jacoby, Dr. Oz, and “Speedball” Ronny Jackson, has been a ludicrous lie. A fantasy unchallenged by any corporate news sewer, yet another in the fetid, rotting media edifice that supports our fascist russian vassal state.

Trump seems increasingly ponderous and reflective in his old age, and lately, he’s been talking about death more often. “I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound,” he said in October. “I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to make heaven.”

Not make it into heaven? My dear boy, Satan has setup an entire circus especially for you

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

As a devilish circus performer, nah, we want nothing to do with him. Send him to the Egyptians to have his heart weighed or something idk

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah! Pull his brains out through his nose and put them in a jar!

[–] Veedem@lemmy.world 40 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

What’s going on? The same thing that happened with Biden:

The guy is 79 and working one of the toughest jobs in the world and also chooses to stay up late at night ranting like a lunatic. The job ages everyone who takes it. Doing the job at 79 is very different than doing it at 50 or 60.

[–] Lucky_Acid@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago

The job does age people, but it ages people that do it. I wouldn't equate Trump's "doing the job" with any of his predecessors "doing the job". Then again, there is something to be said for how much work goes into constantly being negative, it's a 24/7 mental and emotional battle to fight everyone and everything. That takes a toll.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 17 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Doing a lot of anything for most at that age is taxing, but he's not doing the job other modern Presidents have done, by far. Any worry or anxiety he has is all about helping himself out, nothing to do with the country. I hope it's not a very long time, but I do hope it's a slow, painful burn on the way down. We need a bit of karma right now.

Not disagreeing, but it seems like he’s in some way indebted or beholden to Putin, and I’ll grant that that’s got to be terrifying. Especially given that he’s becoming less and less helpful a person to keep around as his popularity sinks and his influence shrinks.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 30 points 14 hours ago

The hamberders probably don't help either.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 27 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He's rotting from the soul out.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 17 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Soul? The only one he might have is a Kia.

I loved mine. It was a fun car to drive, and mine didn't have any major issues when I traded it in at 200k miles.

[–] Bob_Robertson_IX@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 13 hours ago

In other words: When is he finally going to die?

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

I have the bestest healthy of any president ever! My brain worked best! Who just shit in my pants? 🫲🍊🫱

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

We can only hope it’s the start of the end of that pedo.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Were that it would happen faster.

[–] Zagam@piefed.social 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I'm torn here. On the one hand, I hope it happens asap. On the other, I hope it hurts a lot and takes a long time and just hurts more and more.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 4 points 11 hours ago

Ideally while rotting in prison.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 12 hours ago

Still too good for my liking.

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 16 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Putin told him to start IVing children’s blood.

It is not going well.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

His main mistake is that the child in question is Eric.

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Wait! Is that why people think his hand is always bruised?

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Be the conspiracy theory you wish to see in the world.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 3 points 13 hours ago

He does like kids, so there's some substance there.

When you turn orange, it's not good.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

If it's not easy being green, I can't imagine how difficult orange is.

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Maybe he took Orange Is The New Black the wrong way?

They know the Republican Party dies with Donald.
