Daily Beast is such a cope cringe mess
"the dictator is a poopy head" vibes
I take two legit bloodthinners, clopidogrel (Plavix) and apixaban (Eliquis) and I don't get bruises like that. Of course my highest dose of aspirin was also 81mg, they took me off that when they added clopidogrel.
OTOH I'm also not 80 damn years old...
Can an oldpeopleologist tell us what kind of term length we're looking at here based offa those bruises
"Gerontologist". 😉
There is a word for everything
Wow. Who knew he wore makeup?!
His skin is so thin that...
Indeed it is
So he definitely had that stroke
How does this confirm a stroke? Genuinely asking
So he already showed signs of it months ago and now he's on doses of aspirin for blood thinning so intense his hands are covered in bruises. It's unlikely they'd prescribe such a high dose unless he had a serious need for blood thinning such as a history of arterial blockage
It doesn't. You can have this sort of bruising for all sorts of reasons.
He still probably did have a stroke though.
Soon.
Don't give us hope.
Lmao is he really America's oldest president now? Finally?
No, he's 4 years younger than Biden, who was 82 at the end of his term. Trump turns 80 this year.
Million dollar scam idea: sell MAGA hand makeup.
Along with cankle socks.
Great. Now release ALL of the Epstein files.
I have 80 year old grandparents. Love em to death. It blows my mind thinking of anybody that age running the country.
~~running~~ ruining the country
ftfy
I have no problem believing someone would be ruining the country if they were in charge.
It blows my mind thinking of anybody that age running the country.
They're not the sharpest anymore. But personally I have a bigger problem with Trump's personality and lack of ethics, regardless of age.
Also imagine your grandpa (or -ma!) using that makeup for - what? Hide that you're old? It doesn't work!
He can't remember when he's supposed to lie about shit.
One of these days we'll stop electing 80+ year old dementia patients to run America
we're about to get 10 years of the couch fucker, come hook or crook.
No we wont. The uneducated will continue to believe what Fox, Facebook, and X tell them to believe.
America has an idiot problem, and it wasnt an accident.
....
Yes, they will
But you realize we can educate people right?
Like, someone that uneducated today only stays uneducated if no one educated them, and whether or not you want to "help" them, we're all better off if we educate them.
if you think you can just educate people into not supporting trump, listen to The Necessary Conversation podcast. these people care more abt "winning" than being right
these people care more abt “winning” than being right
They need taught something?!?!?
Clearly that's more than enough reason not to attempt to teach them anything...
If we taught things to people who don't those things, just think of the horror!
Obviously our time is best spent telling others not to try anything and just fucking give up. Maybe listen to some fucking podcasts and pat ourselves on the back about how we're intrinsically better? We won't fix anything that way, but it makes you feel superior and that's why the billionaires have spent so much effort into you having these views you think are your own
I know this is harsh, but wake the fuck up, we need all hands on deck.
I wonder if his dementia will progress to the point where he starts inadvertently reliving old, sick Epstein memories while live
Ewww... No one wants to see the hard toadie.
I think this is a big reason they're so desperate for people to stop talking about it...
trump would admit to wild shit a decade ago, he's undoubtedly worse now. Someone asking him ""what's the youngest woman who's slept with you?" In a "nice" manner would likely get him to just openly admit to raping a child.
If it's not phrased in a way that he gets defensive, he's liable to just fucking answer.
"What is the age of your youngest partner?" would be a great question for him to be asked, and a skillful interviewer could absolutely get him to answer with pride about his misdeeds as he describes several instances of varying levels of horror before arriving at the single event he thinks TACOs all.
If I remember correctly, it was known before his first presidency that he walked in on underaged girls changing. Also, "grab them by the pussy". He's extremely obviously been a shitty person for a long time and it literally does not matter at all
His ascending to public knowledge was for being a racist prick when he was renting out his daddy's properties landing him in legal trouble. This man has never been good.
If he bruises easily are they sure blood thinners are a good idea? I'm all for regime change through internal haemorrhage, but this once again sounds like bullshit.
Tbf he says that he bruises easily because he takes massive amounts of aspirin as a blood thinner. Against doctors' advice if I read that correctly.
Well, it's either blood thinners or death by stroke/infarction. The man's blood must be like mollases without the thinners, he eats like shit and barely exercises, except the golfing trips.
I don't care if he dies from a stroke or from a heart attack, as long as he gets on with it.
Why would he admit to it now, and for a large outlet like WSJ? We all got used to him lying about it endlessly.
edit: taking a closer look at the original article, there really is no reason for conspiratorial thought: it's just an old man babbling.
PS: the pictures of his hands are horrendous.
PPS:
He insisted in the interview that he is in excellent shape and puts it down to “good genetics.”
What good genetics look like:
He is increasingly disinhibited, it's one of the things that happens in old age as time takes its toll on brain functions. Really old people will just say whatever, a lot like drunk people do.
He could easily go years this way. His brain will be Swiss cheese, but Miller is running things anyway.
Yet, Bernie “was too old” by the “polls” and the DNC but he could have won but instead they put up Hillary and again Kamala?!?! MONEY!
Drumpf has ONLY won against women, who would have thought?!
And Bernie is still out there holding strong with no ailments and still having AMERICAN VOTERS VOICES HEARD FIRST! It’s so upsetting watching the fall of America into oligarchs and fascism!! Fuck both parties!
Time to clean house and drain the swamp plus set term limits!! Get it together America, it’s embarrassing!!!
Bernie DID have a heart attack...

Drumpf has ONLY won against women, who would have thought?!
A woman could've beaten Trump. Just not a neoliberal one.
Trump said he wore medical compression socks to help with swelling in his ankles.
He also sleeps in a straitjacket to help with his swelling dementia.
