I could have gone without that image in my head.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Oh my gods that's disgusting
foamy saliva is the name of KKK's David Allan Coe cover band.
Turnabout is fair play and all that, but this is just dumb. The dude is old. Anyone that's talked a really old person sees all kind of weird stuff going on with their mouths.
This is the Trump equivalent of going after Biden because he's also shockingly not great with words and controlling his saliva. Hell, I'm not an old, and I've had one too many coffees while hungover and foamy spit was about all the spit I had.
I think we can safely assume a few things here: 1) yes, Trump has health problems. Black people couldn't use the same water fountains as white people for like the first 20+ years of his life. He's old af. 2) this is dumb ass shit, and the fact that Trump is such a low-life "politician" is the only reason this kind of meaningless attack is coming out. 3) people are realizing the felony convictions aren't going to be enough, and this reeks of desperation.
Gross but reading your comment made me drool ever so slightly.
Anyone that's talked a really old person sees all kind of weird stuff going on with their mouths.
a long time ago i read that's because the older one gets, the less thirst one feels and therefore older people don't hydrate enough, if they don't actively hydrate more than they feel thirst
Certain ailments that are more common as you get older can cause less thirst.
Some medications can cause foamy saliva.
And the reason why when you get older, more stuff going on with your mouth is you can loose feeling in the lips so it’s not as noticeable to you in that you can’t feel it.
And you’ll note that I said ‘you’. cuz we all age and you and I and everyone in this post are not exempt from getting older as we speed through the time dimension. It’s not just something that happens to an entirely separate alien species we all just refer to as ‘they’.

That's very optimistic of you, as not all of us will reach old age. I'm probably not gonna make it past 60. We shall see.
Is there a link to the video that is not on Twxtter?
You're not missing anything. In one video a little piece of spit flew out of his mouth for like 2 frames, and in another he had a little glob of spit for like 5 frames, and then they played it slow motion and zoomed way in and repeated it a bunch of times because otherwise it would have been comically underwhelming.
That's it. I'm definitely not voting for him now.
The raping, grifting, misogyny, racism, tax evasion, lying, top-secret document mishandling, pandemic mishandling, veteran-hating, handicapped-hating, immigrant-hating, insurrection starting are one thing... but foamy saliva is where I draw the line.
Yeah. He killed like a million people by bungling the covid response, and conspired with one of America's shooting-war enemies (at least one) to get a whole bunch of CIA assets killed in the field. Like dozens of them. A foreign government hacked up an American journalist with bonesaws and took him out in pieces, and Trump came out and said, well they gave me a bunch of money so who cares about one journalist.
And all that is just the stuff that we know. He's like a supernova of treasonous and criminal behavior. No matter how bad you might estimate it is what he did, it's many many times worse.
