This is a funny thing to focus on in light of his recent felony conviction.
We've all spit as we've talked, nothing novel about that. A felony conviction, now that's a pretty novel thing.

Remember the toilet paper march up the steps into Air Force One?
What it shows me is that none of the people who deal with him on a day to day basis have any respect for him whatsoever.
I forgot about that.

Oh there was ketchup on the walls that day, I'm sure.
Could be that he's the type to shoot the messenger, and nobody wanted to be told "You're fired" for letting him know he's got tp on his feetsies.

I don't wish death to anybody but, if he croaks of dementia before November it would be pretty funny.
If he croaks first of all Id be partying but I'd also think this make the election even more of a crap shoot as many light conservatives will go with the Republican candidate instead of Biden or abstaining, not to mention Bidens campaign centers how bad Trump is, if hes gone there goes the effect of millions of campaign dollars.
I don't wish death to anybody but, my lawyer advised me to end the comment here.

My only concern is that they'd decide he's a martyr and claim the deep state killed him.....
Seriously, is there no way out of this bs?
Stupid people gonna stupid, unfortunately.
I try to look at it like this: before 2016, I thought this level of hatred, bigotry and cruelty was an outlier in the right. That most of them just wanted tax cuts and weren't hood wearing racists. I've since learned that the "outliers" are the party and the "moderates" are the actual outliers.

I'm in the same boat. The last straw for me was Covid.
You are white I take it? This was obvious to me (as a mixed race but not white passing person, with a very foreign sounding name) since before the GW years.

I'm not going to watch the video but was the saliva tinted pink at all? That's a sign of congestive heart failure.
Edit: from what I can find if the "sputum" is white and not "excessive" it's not a cause for concern, if there's a lot of it, it could be COPD, pneumonia or other pulmonary (lung) issues but should be checked out by a physician.
Hi, I'm a paramedic x14 yrs. Didn't watch the video, but I don't think this is likely to be the case. In almost every case I've seen pink-tinged foamy sputum from CHF, the patient is in critical condition, and is in absolutely no state to be delivering a deranged rant. Even in the cases where they work on it with hacking and coughing for a bit, they're still pretty much out of gas and not going to be carrying on like dumbass here. At least, that's my experience.
As an EMT of a few months I believe you and will file that in my mental toolkit. I've not seen pink sputum myself yet.
Not that I could tell. What happens is while he's loudly yelling, some spittle actually flies from his mouth.
I assure you, no one wants information about an old man’s foamy saliva. Recoiling in horror at a concept is not “raising questions.”
I mean if it's foamy enough, it raises some major questions. There are few things that cause that and they are basically all bad in their own ways.
Rabies
Travis, get your gun!
Haha we’re gonna get to see him try to drink a water bottle in an even more weird way
That would be hilarious, in a really cynical way. I’m just imagining a literally rabid Republican candidate campaigning. MAGAers would probably stop drinking water in solidarity and we’d get to really test out that “I could shoot someone on fifth avenue” theory, but with biting on campaign stops.
I'm just picturing the morons lining up to be bitten by him. That would be such an ironic twist of history.
"Real men have rabbies"
"It's time we elected a rabid President"
On the bright side, it would be a problem that would eventually fix itself.
I want to see this variation of a zombie movie.
Patient zero is a prominent politician.
His handlers continue to puppet him, because they already spent so much on his campaign.
Followers literally line up to be bitten and infected.
If you had made this ten years ago, everybody would have said it's totally unrealistic. But now it's just slightly exaggerated.

Republicans would go out and get rabies in solidarity. They'd say it wasn't dangerous. It'd fuck up medical stats so hard.
Think of the benefits to rabies research. So few people actually catch it and - in America - are rich enough that timely treatment is an option they feel free to pursue.

It would be a great opportunity for someone to sell a "Bite Me Trump" shirt. Supporters would wear it for its litteral meaning and opponent would wear it for the sarcastic meaning.
Also, pirates who like teethy BJs would wear it so people know what they're into.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump's "foamy saliva" in a new campaign video has raised questions on social media.
"Many Republicans like to vote on Election Day and we must swamp the radical Democrats with massive turnout on Tuesday, November 5," Trump said.
"Trump spitting while telling his followers to vote for him," the Patriot Takes account posted on X, formerly on Twitter, alongside a 10-second clip from the video.
The account, which monitors right-wing extremism, wrote in another post that Trump "also struggled with foamy saliva" while filming the video.
Another person wrote that "frothy saliva is a rare symptom; when you see it, you should be concerned and immediately send for medical assistance."
"I guess it's time to bring in Kristi Noem to put Trump out of his misery," another person wrote, referencing the South Dakota governor's fatal shooting of her 14-month-old dog.
The original article contains 441 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I gotta say, that Kristi Noem joke is pretty funny
Was Putin visiting Mar a Lardo?
