You know what... Take away everything Trump has done, take away the alleged assassination attempt, the health issues all of it.

THE MAN IS 80!!! He's too fucking old to be working any job let alone president of the United States!!!

Just fucking retire!

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You know who will be president if he does?

[–] supernight52@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yep, someone without the cult of personality backing him. So, generally, better for everyone involved.

[–] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Yep, senators and congress people are not afraid of Vance like they are of trump. It would/will be an interesting turn of events if ol' couch fucker gets a shot at the big desk.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I love that the first indisputable evidence that Trump has a heart arrived at the same time as the evidence that it is malfunctioning.

The malfunctioning is apt.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 115 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The doctor said Trump had a minor problem.

Which is exactly what the Epstein list said, too.

Best of luck to the swelling and bruising

He’s maxed out on the blood thinners. I think that accounts for both described symptoms. I am not a doctor, but I did watch all of House, twice.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Tbh it sounds like hes having a heart failure (finally), I just cannot believe ol Mac didnt hit him sooner

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 61 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Yeah, edema (fluid gathering, causing swelling) is a classic sign of diastolic heart failure. It’s caused by the muscle fibers of the heart stiffening, which reduces the heart’s ability to expand and draw fresh blood in between beats. Usually caused by a lack of exercise. The heart can’t draw blood back up from the legs, which increases blood pressure in the legs as blood gets pumped down but not back up. This extra pressure in the legs forces fluid out of the veins and into the surrounding tissues, causing swelling.

He almost certainly has something worse if this is what he's admitting to.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

he also refuses to wear reading glasses prescribed to him.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 12 points 1 day ago

No point since I suspect he can barely read anyway.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I forgot about the Epstein list

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 77 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (7 children)

If he's admitting to having something minor, then he must be at death's door....

Wouldn't it be ironic if Biden outlives him?

My neighbor said this about Biden about a year ago. Our kids are friends, and they are very nice people. It's the only time something remotely political has come up between us. Ever since then, I have made extra sure to not broach politics around her, because I'm pretty sure her views are extraordinarily stupid and if I hear anymore I will respect her a lot less. I kind of laughed it off at the time, but I'm pretty sure she was being serious. Her and her husband are both Church going folk and the husband is a cop, so I'm pretty sure I know where they lie on the political spectrum. Imo ifyou're willing to believe there's an invisible man in the sky that's going to solve all your problems, I guess all these conspiracy theories are easier to believe.

Oh, come on. Completely unrealistic. He’d never admit anything about the minors.

President Vance, with a tactical hamberder, in a furniture store.

In fifty years, people will be writing essays about why this comment makes sense and is hilarious.

BS He has heart failure perhaps without decreased ejection fraction. He has obviously getting diuretic injections into his hand on a daily basis vs just taking a pill. But it is not common for anyone to have lower extremity edema without some kind of systemic issue. I assume he has already tried wearing compression socks. Another lie to add on top of all the others.

Did they check to see if he had a brain? We know he never had a heart.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

No brain, heart, OR courage.

The exam found Trump, 79, has chronic venous insufficiency.

As someone who has been treated for this, I can confidently say bullshit. His ankles are swollen like he got them beaten and broken with a crow bar for not paying his debts.

My professional medical diagnosis is he has demon legs with no knees.

I hear JD Vance is shopping for new Oval Office couches.

Apparently those Arhaus Kiptons are sexy yet classy.

Team Hamberder for the point:

The exam found Trump, who is 79, has chronic venous insufficiency. The condition happens when an individual’s leg veins struggle to pump blood back to the heart, causing blood to pool, according to The Cleveland Clinic.

Leavitt said there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot, or arterial disease, which can include blockages.

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

So what we can gather from prior statements from Leavitt, there is plenty of evidence of deep vein thrombosis, with blockages.
