The Trump thread

[Retro]

Here we go, the BBC is reporting on it. Doesn't get more mainstream than that.

US President Donald Trump said in a lengthy interview about his health that he takes more aspirin than doctors recommend, uses makeup to cover bruising on his hands, and does not get regular exercise because he finds it "boring".

Trump also told The Wall Street Journal, external that he underwent a CT scan in October, after incorrectly telling reporters that he had undergone a more detailed MRI scan.

Trump, 79, is the oldest president inaugurated in US history, and signs of age have been showing. He has at times appeared to fall asleep in meetings and not be able to hear questions.

The Journal said Trump "expressed irritation about the public debate over his health", which he described as "perfect".

"Let's talk about health again for the 25th time," he said at the start of an "impromptu phone call" as the newspaper prepared to publish a story about Trump's health.

And:

"My health is perfect," he added.

Yeah, sure.

When a big time right-winger like Karl Rove starts sounding alarm bells... folks need to be listening that depend on more than the MAGA cult votes.
Current elections that have been going on should be alarming to ANY person running in an area that is not cult infused.
