Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

He's been standing/sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office far more, rather than on the chairs/couches at the fireplace the other side of the room. So it looks like they're trying to hide it, same way he now spends a lot of time covering the more brusied hand with his other hand.

it Trump is stuck to issue a Presidential Order on something surely he can find something on the Simpsons

200 million Americans should film themselves burning the American flag in protest against this.

Don't get too excited about the hand bruising, though I agree it signifies an underlying condition, it might not be all that significant. Lots of people his age are on blood thinners, though I think the skill of the person applying the cannula has a lot to do with whether it bruises.

On the other hand, some of the senility (as against stupidity which he has in spades) could be down to exhaustion. At his age and with an active underlying condition most people would be slowing down activity significantly. His ego and pride push him to continuously prove how he is the fittest ever, while continuing an unhealthy lifestyle, and that could be his undoing.

Also, medical attention might be the nearest thing he gets to personal attention/affection, which might lead him to demand tests and checkups both for reassurance and a sense of being cared for. He could even be getting intravenous concoctions that he has been told by RFK Jnr will keep him young and attractive for ever.

Given past history, I'd say we'll get an abundance of detailed info and about how concerned everyone was and how it important it is that the public know about this information at the earliest possible time…

… and you can read all about it in my new book; "The Truth I Should Have Made Public 18 F*cking Months Ago: The Tale Of Someone Who Wants To Now Be Considered A Hero Even Though They Were Utterly Complicit At The Time"

The reality (as others have pointed out) is being hooked up to a drip or monitoring equipment will do this, especially to older people.

I don't think it means he will keel over in two days, but we can always hope.

Thinking about it though, I think the US has already crossed the Rubicon. The death of Trump will not be an end to the loathsome degeneration in their politics - it seems to be too late for that.
