Reminder: this “very stable genius” doesn’t believe exercise is good for you because he thinks the body is a battery and exercising depletes said battery.

u/AceofKnaves44 District Of Columbia 18h ago

One of my favorite stories is him visiting a WWE locker room in the middle of summer. He’s standing around all these toned, athletic bodies and must have gotten real self-conscious about how obese he is because suddenly everyone blinks and he’s wearing a huge puffy coat and sweating to death because again, it’s summer. But at least he had hidden how fat his body is!

He looks terrible. He's gone from orange to a sickly yellow, he's lost a lot of weight very quickly, he can't fully open his eyes, and he never takes his hat off anymore. And that's not even going into the cognitive decline aspect...

u/chubbierunner 18h ago

One eye is extra squinty these days. I’m trying to figure out if it’s stroke related or dementia related or both. I have two parents with dementia, and they both have what I refer to as “dementia face” when they are extra tired, confused, and disoriented. I’m seeing signs of dementia face on Donnie a few times every week. We are in the “Weekend at Bernie’s” stage of his presidency.

The not taking his hat off is a give away that he's hiding his rapid aging. His hair is markedly thinner, less frequently dyed yellow, leading to his baldness showing.  He's hiding all of that.

He might be less inclined to the daily routine of having to make himself up, so he covers with the hat.

I’ve been going with my theory that Musk’s Ozempic Santa tweet is him getting Trump onto Ozempic. That’s about the timeline that it takes to lose 30 pounds and Trump was mentioned earlier this month that has had about a 30 pound weight loss.

The thing with Ozempic is it stresses the fuck out of your body and will exasperate certain medical conditions like heart, kidney, and cardiovascular issues. Stuff like his leg thing can happen because of the sudden collapse of the support structure of the veins. The weight loss is too rapid unless you’re otherwise healthy.

Basically my theory is summed up that Musk accidentally killed the president, he just hasn’t died yet.

u/MadRaymer 18h ago

So while Trump is obviously ignorant of a great many things, one thing he's pretty tuned into is the perceptions of his base. He has an almost unique insight into what they want to see and hear and like a weathervane is able to align himself in that direction. He also quickly corrects when the wind changes - remember how he got booed for taking credit for the vaccine? He never tried that again.

I'm saying all this to point out: for his base, sounding like a crazy person isn't a dealbreaker. It's actually part of his appeal. When they turn on the TV and hear a loud ignorant man ranting and raving about stuff he doesn't understand, they point at the TV and shout, "He's just like me!"

This is why he was so quick to stage that photo op on his assassination attempt. We can debate whether he was really struck by a bullet or just debris, but it doesn't matter because his base cares more about appearances than reality, and Trump understands that. It's why they voted for a TV star that played a successful businessman, not an actual successful businessman. So looking tough is more important than being tough.

If you're still with me after all this, I promise I'm getting to my point now. The reason Trump is so quick to cover his hand or any sign of infirmity is that he knows his base will follow him across almost any bridge... except if he starts looking weak. MAGA cannot abide weakness. As soon as he has a serious issue in public that he can't cover up, the spell will break on a lot of them. Not all of them of course, but a lot of them won't tolerate a weak Trump. They truly believe he's this strong virile male specimen. Hell, I suspect some of them even think he's actually hiding Rambo-era Stallone's body under those ill-fitting suits.

u/SavageJeph Foreign 18h ago

That's always been an interesting part of fascism to me, how much illusion is required to get it off the ground.

Like some hideous goose stepping bumblebee.

They do not mind seeing the emperors naked body under his magic invisible clothes because he has special magic clothes - he has something special or unique and that means he's allowed.

But once they know he's not special, he isn't wearing magic clothes, that he's going to pass away just like grandpa, then he becomes just another overweight old man in America.

35

u/MadRaymer 18h ago

Exactly. There's almost a supernatural element to his appeal, as if they believe he has superpowers. When I would read about how the ancient Egyptians worshiped their pharaohs, I never quite understood what that meant. Now I get it.

There's the actual person Donald Trump, then there's the mythical figure the cult imagines him to be. But at some point, reality is going to come crashing down on them and the illusion will shatter.

Please enlighten us as to what "drips" treat CHF and unspecified kidney disease as an outpatient? I'm not Trump supporter but I am a physician. And this is a wild medical leap.

They are asserting that he is receiving IV diuretics for the acute congestive heart failure. That’s a plausible diagnosis, given his cankles, shit diet, BMI > 40 for a decade or more, physical inactivity, and nonstop rage. 

That is super plausible to me (not an md). A child can see he’s not healthy. 

Some are also asserting that the diuretics are causing kidney issues. Who knows.

u/urmomsfavoriteplayer 17h ago

Lymphedema from obesity can also cause swollen legs and feet. Diuretics can also be given as pills with the same result. We use IV diuretics during CHF exacerbations to strip off massive volumes of water (10+ liters) because it works much faster. That amount of excess water impairs cardiac and respiratory function. For someone with the level of care he is capable of receiving they would do daily weights and titrate oral diuretics. For someone to require IV diuretics they are not capable of walking around a golf course and playing.

Conspiracy theory: Miller/Hegseth/Heritage knows he is going to die within the year and they are deploying troops to cities that may celebrate so much they become legitimate resistance movements.

Nice. I’ll add that maybe Vance is taking so many trips because he wants to get them all in before he has to actually work.

I saw another comment yesterday about how he's likely (red-green?) colorblind, which would make the orange just look tan and explain the fascination with tacky gold (which just looks shiny). During Sharpie-gate he also confused colors on the chart.

Have you ever seen him wear green?

Probably to look tanned. If you’ve got a tan, it makes you look a shade tanner. If you’re a white as toilet paper, it just makes you look Orange.

It’s likely more severe than just venous deficiency, this is congestive heart failure that’s being treated with (likely) IV diuretics, which really damage the kidneys.

Even with the best treatment he can’t get healthier than this, it’s all downhill from here and it’s usually pretty fast.

It is absolutely losing all its rigidity & looks almost stroke patient droopy. Just the difference in videos, between now & June 21st is extraordinary. Not only his face, but his entire demeanor is more sloppy, slouchy and subdued. The mad king is on borrowed time.

Concerning is that “IQ” test he keeps bragging about, which is a stroke victim’s equivalent of the referee’s knockout assessment in a boxing match. It’s not a difficult test, just one to make sure someone isn’t so brain damaged they can’t function.
