BREAKING: “SEVERE PROBLEMS” — Trump’s SURPRISE admission leads to MASSIVE speculation about his health.
Did Donald Trump finally admit that he’s not the picture of health after repeatedly insisting that what he apparently considers his superhuman body has no problems whatsoever?
Any astute outside observer could always tell that Trump’s claims about his medical exams were less than candid. After all this is a man who once allegedly sent his bodyguard and his lawyer to the office of his New York physician to confiscate all his medical files shortly after he took office in his first term. He’s also a man who obviously lies about both his height and his weight.
And it’s hard to ignore the cankles, the mysterious lumps under his suit jacket and pant legs, and the obvious signs of dementia.
Yet despite all the evidence pointing to the contrary, Trump and his spokespeople have continued to insist that, unlike most men his age, time, gravity, and cholesterol have had no negative effects on that 80-year-old body.
Today, however, a crack has appeared in that wall of secrecy that surrounds Trump’s actual health.
It came at a White House luncheon honoring first responders and firefighters from around the country today. In a speech to the assembled crowd, after he called for the death penalty for anyone convicted of killing a member of the police or fire departments, Trump turned his attention to the unhealthy habits that undermine the health of many Americans, namely smoking, drinking, and taking drugs.
“You know, I'm fortunate I don't smoke, and I don't drink, and I have no longing to drink. I have friends, they drink, and they have a real hard time. You know, they're addicted. They have a real hard time staying away — drugs, probably even more so. It's probably the same, but — as alcohol,” Trump said.
So far, that’s better medical advice than we’ve ever heard from his Health & Human Services Secretary, RFK Jr.
But it was what Trump said next that raised eyebrows across the interwebs.
“But if you don't drink, or if you don't take drugs, or if you don't smoke, there's no problem, he continued.” “I have other problems. I have some very severe problems.”
Well, lots of people believe that he has severe problems, although perhaps not the ones that he’s referring to.
Trump continued, saying, “But those are not one of them. I don't want to add them to the list. Do you understand that, Todd? I don't want to add them to the list. Because if I did, I guarantee I wouldn't be here right now. So, it's three problems I don't have, and it's really good. Now they're going to — the press is going to say, ‘What problem does he have? Let's figure it out.’”
Trump seems to have realized the can of worms his admission has opened up, as he continued his asides to Attorney General Todd Blanche.
“I probably set myself up for that one, Todd. Todd is going to have to try and defend me because they're going to say — he said he's got some serious problems. What are they? What's — I actually don't know. I was just being — I was just having fun to the media. They're wonderful people.”
Sorry, Donnie. No one is going to believe that what you just said was just a ploy to get a rise out of the media. Especially since it basically confirms all the suspicions about Trump’s health that have been circulating since he seemingly became unable to walk a straight line as he approached or left Air Force One.
Americans deserve the truth about the president’s health, and what Trump said today is not going to tamp down the speculation that something is seriously wrong with the man physically. We already know that he suffers from a plethora of personality disorders that many would characterize as mental illnesses. Now we need a prognosis on how long we can expect Trump to still be around. If nothing else, so we can plan ahead and buy the champagne.
