Very good health indeed.

Well he is 74

i also do that

Wasn't there something about him taking hydroxychloroquine recently? The drug has some nasty side effects, probably even worse for someone addicted to Adderall.

---

Nah, he did those things intentionally to mess with the fake news media. He's playing five-dimensional chess.

Imagine being a chad member of the political elite like Barry O. Destroyed Lybia, Spied on 300 million Americans, revolutionized drone warfare, and now gets to chill with his beautiful wife and set for life as a member of the political elite. Could become a Senator again if he wanted to even.

He is very healthy. He has the best health. He could play professional football if he wasn't so busy being right all the time.

Believe me.

Ask anybody.

Let's see now...
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/frontotemporal-dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20354737

.

The most common signs of frontotemporal dementia involve extreme changes in behavior and personality. These include:

• Increasingly inappropriate social behavior
• Loss of empathy and other interpersonal skills, such as having sensitivity to another's feelings
• Lack of judgment
• Loss of inhibition
• Lack of interest (apathy), which can be mistaken for depression
• Repetitive compulsive behavior, such as tapping, clapping or smacking lips
• A decline in personal hygiene
• Changes in eating habits, usually overeating or developing a preference for sweets and carbohydrates
• Eating inedible objects
• Compulsively wanting to put things in the mouth

Some subtypes of frontotemporal dementia lead to language problems or impairment or loss of speech.

Problems caused by these conditions include:

• Increasing difficulty in using and understanding written and spoken language, such as having trouble finding the right word to use in speech or naming objects
• Trouble naming things, possibly replacing a specific word with a more general word such as "it" for pen
• No longer knowing word meanings
• Having hesitant speech that may sound telegraphic
• Making mistakes in sentence construction

Rarer subtypes of frontotemporal dementia are characterized by problems with movement, similar to those associated with Parkinson's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Movement-related problems may include:

• Tremor
• Rigidity
• Muscle spasms
• Poor coordination
• Difficulty swallowing
• Muscle weakness
• Inappropriate laughing or crying

I've put in bold the ones I've been able to see for certain, and in italic I put the items that are basically "uhh maybe?" because I cannot confirm actually having seen those ones, but seem likely in Trump's case.

This board is always exaggerating stuff. The weight is a serious issue though.

The dementia accusation has always been a stretch. Now, more than ever, I think people are reaching to deflect from Biden's obvious dementia

No, the only stretch here is Trump's pant size. I've mentioned in another topic that Biden has his own diminished faculties, as well (which I did not mention) he has his own history of creepiness. Trump's case on both are worse. If anything, I would hope Biden has enough sense left over to give us a competent VP so that when it's determined Biden is unfit AFTER the election, the nation as a unified whole won't be completely screwed over by whomever takes over, unlike if we get Pence as this thing continues.

2 hands to take a sip of water, so healthy.

I still think it's nuts that he took hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure.

he has toilet bones

Limping, with favorability on the left side, and an officer watching and guiding him down the steps like he could take a tumble any split second. Peak of health.

I think it's telling that Trump is trying to pain Biden as being addled with dementia.

One of Trump's hallmarks is that he constantly projects his own flaws onto other people. Trump sees he's getting accused of hiding in a basement? He amps up the attacks on Biden for hiding in his basement. He's getting accused of being an idiot? Watch as he calls his target of the day "low-IQ". This is a classic narcissist trait - they lack the ability to empathize with other people, so their best means of attack is to turn their internal criticisms of themselves outwards onto others.

So when he harps on Biden for being "sleepy" and dementia-addled... what does that say about where Trump's mind's at and what he's hearing behind closed doors?

---

The fact both American options are frail old guys, Tiny-Nipple-Pincher Biden and Grab-Em-By-The-Pussy Trump is depressing. Neither are fit for office. I might go so far as to say anybody over 60 shouldn't be in office. That'd cycle through people faster and get rid of the people whose actions have no consequences, since they'll die before the issues from their policies arise.

Trump eats all kinds of shit and I'm sure his hygiene is atrocious; why aren't you highlighting that?

It's not unheard of to take it as prophylaxis. Just only really for people that are expecting exposure to malaria, since malaria is horrible. Anything else it might be used to treat (which, as I understand, is a very short list and only includes Covid if you're trying to sell more of it), the side effects are too bad to justify prophylactic use.

i think donald trump is having seizures, his motor control is off, ok?

Because those may or may not be the norm for Trump, meaning it's difficult to gauge those as being any different?

I watched the video and it's strange; pay attention to his head/neck, not his hands. He doesn't tip his head back at all, which I think is why he handled the cup weirdly. That coupled with the weird walk makes me wonder if he didn't want to move his neck for some reason.

Not just a warmonger. Also an alcoholic!

I feel like him having trouble walking down the stairs is probably because he wears high heeled shoes to make himself taller. Would be difficult to walk down a slope if you are old and wearing lifts.

guy loves beer just as much as i do, and for that, he will always have my respect, ok?

i actually tried his honey ale (local brewery using his recipe) that he brewed in the white house, and it was actually pretty decent, ok?
