If he wins next month’s election, Donald Trump would be the oldest person in U.S. history elected president.

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

    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.

      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.

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

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

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

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

    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.

    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.

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.
