When you qualify his health by saying he’s healthy, “for his age and incredibly poor lifestyle choices,” that is not a ringing endorsement of his health. “Not going to die very soon” is certainly not “healthy enough to be fit to serve as president.” The same political party that railed about Biden’s being senile is starting to suggest a third term for Trump.

The thing about 78-year old men is that they've already passed the average life expectancy. It shouldn't be a shock to anybody when a man that age rapidly deteriorates and dies of natural causes within any given week. It happens every single day. He's got a chance to make it to 82, but he has a much greater chance of not.

The life expectancy of a man in the US at the top 1% of income is 87.3.

This is the most depressing thing I've read today.

Trump does not look healthy. I’m startled that I would say this, but seeing a picture of him without all of the orange makeup made me understand why he wears it. He looks ill and often seems exhausted and out of it — in situations where he knows that he’s being photographed. Progressive dementia also is part of the mix.

Was this one of their "jokes" or were they using that as a serious reason? Because it's ridiculous.

My hands bruise very easily from the slightest bump or carrying multiple grocery bags across them. But we all know Trump does no type of physical labor so it's unlikely he got the bruise from something like that.

Hey, he climbed in a garbage truck and tried to drive himself home.

That failed grab and loss of balance whe he went to open the truck door gave me flashbacks to various elderly relatives in cognitive decline, as do certain of his verbal tics that show his trouble with language ("a little thing called," having to repeat mangled words until he gets it out cleanly, just repeating a word).

But I suspect he'll hang on for years, shuffling and incoherent, because that's his genetic destiny.

Correct. He's been in cognitive decline for a few years, and journalists have noticed this with word analysis compared for his speeches and interviews from when he was a NY developer.

But I agree that he looks like he could go on for a while. It's very obvious to me that compared to his first presidency, he's lost emotional coping skills, vocabulary, ability to grasp what's going on around him and he has even less interest than he used to in the workings of government (and he couldn't even read his daily brief the first time around). He's an enfeebled king who lets his minions run away with the treasury and his enemies take his country's international influence, because he's only interested in the superficial outer trappings of his position.

There are 3 foot-genders, and you can't wake up one morning and just decide you have more feet than you actually have!

Lifts in your shoes definitely qualifies as gender-affirming care.
