Can you imagine the MAGA meltdown if Trump dies of old age before the election/inauguration if he wins? The conspiracy theories will reach a level we've yet to witness.

That man runs on spite and vengence. With as much as he has and based on Kissinger living to nearly 100 I wouldnt be surprised if Trump makes it past 100.

Guy’s fucked in the head and he’ll be dead inside of 4 years. And I hope he dies in a supermax.

I want him to get locked in syndrome for a few years first.

This is 2016 bullshit. C’mon AP! Dig deep!!

here's a rundown: his blood type is heinz and his heart is begging for a quick death while the compost heap behind his eyes continues to rot and fill the room with toxic miasma

is that you George Carlin speaking to us from beyond the grave?

The last thorough report on Trump’s health came in 2019, when he was still president. That checkup classified him as obese with a weight of 243 pounds and a body mass index of 30.4, which raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other problems. That report also revealed increased dosages of medication for high cholesterol.

As for his family history, his father had Alzheimer’s disease late in life

That, plus an obvious cognitive decline do not paint a pretty picture. If Rs are realistically voting for President Vance, they deserve to know that.

His hatred for immigrants is probably the only thing keeping him alive right now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I think it’s more his lust for his daughter.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sure he doesn't give a shit about immigrants, it's just one of the cudgels they use to manipulate their poor racist base.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well he outright hates black people, so extending that to immigrants wouldn't be surprising.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

sure, I just think he's insulated to the point he never has to think about any of them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

The Moca cognitive test is a complete joke.

I've seen older family members have to take a neuropsych exam that lasted 6-8 hours and there's no spoofing that.

Harris should hound Trump to take it.

America choosing between a healthy younger leader or an elderly, demented, mentally declining sociopath with fascist leanings: ....

.... I don't know what to do!!? ... (shaking head in confusion)...

“Just inject enough bleach to keep him going past the election and until we can blame his demise on another country or group to justify war.”

"Oh shit this means we'll end up with JD Vance?" - The same blind leaders
