"My method is I read an article about something, you know, and I get convinced that, oh, I gotta have this stuff,” he said. “And then I get it and then six months later I’m still taking it. I don’t remember what the article said. So, I end up with a big crate of vitamins that I’m taking, and I don’t even know why.”
Kennedy said Trump had the most "unhinged" diet of the administration officials.

Trump has access to some of the best medical care on the planet. He’s being kept alive at great expense in spite of his diet. Just look at the bruises on his hands.
Remember when he got Covid? That would have killed anyone else of the same age and comorbidities. Especially if they were relying American health insurance.

I remember. It was really fucked up how he was downplaying its dangers while he got at that point still experimental, high-end treatment.

He gasped for breath at least once while standing on a balcony telling others not to fear the virus. Total asshole.

Agreed. It's also probably just another part of the political kayfabe they use to maintain the support of their base.

Yep, the "strapped the head of a whale he chainsawed off to the roof of his car to drive it home as a souvenir" guy.
I still cannot get over Kathleen Kennedy (his daughter) recounting her vivid memories of this from when she was six.
Sounds like a very fucked environment for a child to grow up in.

Roadkill is commonly eaten in the really poor really rural areas. It's one of the least weird things he's done (well still weird because he's rich as fuck but still)

He also claimed to have brain worms in divorce filings suggesting he may have eaten a fair amount of undercooked food.

World class idiot.
FaceDeer@fedia.io · 28 pts · 220d
There is a tiny shred of logic to it. Trump fears being poisoned, and if he eats food that is specifically prepared for him then that's a perfect opportunity for someone to target him. Whereas if he gets takeout from a random drive-through there's no way a poisoner would know ahead of time which hamberder to contaminate.
That tiny shred of logic is buried under a mountain of idiocy, of course.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 16 pts · 220d
Or he eats like a child whose parents spoiled him so badly, that they let him eat ANYTHING he wanted, because it was just easier to have the maid get him McDonalds than listen to his endless shrieking tantrums if he didn't get what he wanted. His childish dietary demands were always indulged, so he never learned to eat like an adult.
frongt@lemmy.zip · 9 pts · 220d
He might be right. His gut has been so conditioned to horrible food, if he ate a vegetable, it would probably constipate him for a week.
s1ndr0m3@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 220d
In reality it would be the opposite. The fiber in fruits and vegetables would give him the shits.

I bet that is more bs than not. That prez eats fancy food and lies about eating fast food to appeal to america's fat selfish pricks, it's perhaps biggest demograpgic.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 13 pts · 220d
No, he's not food-oriented at all. When he is forced to eat adult food, he likes his steaks cooked like shoe leather, with ketchup. This, for the guy that tried to start a mail-order steak company.
Probably heard that Warren Buffet lives in Omaha, so he assumed he owned Omaha Steaks, so he started a steak company to be like Warren, just like he wants Venezuela, so he can have as much oil as his friends the Saudis. The guy is always coveting what someone richer has.

I feel like this is a lot of people’s experience, we all know someone like this. I know that’s not the kind of thing the Lemmy demographic would look very kindly at, but this is a type of person. Some of them are batshit and others just had a lot of bad luck with the field of medicine.
I really feel like if this guy had a kinder worldview and wasn’t genuinely fucking bonkers he would be a much-needed voice that could speak reason to people who have lost their trust in medical science. Instead he’s this. So he isn’t that.
That quote could have come from someone who has come to a good realization about their understanding of health. Okay, you got sold a crate of vitamins big boy. Are you fixed yet?
But I really feel like the only ones who talk nicely to those people are industrial suppliers of snake oil and that just makes the world worse. Especially now that they’re at the wheel.

Rfk is just playing the sheep as always here. This is the guy invested in supplements saying he takes them to juice sales. The guy fearmongering vaccines while vaccinating himself.
We should count ourselves lucky for his speech impediment, because this cynical prick could take supreme leader in the succession if it was not for his voice. He maybe could anyway but idk strong detraction they will need good strong hitlerspeeches. Vance will not get it.

CitizenKong@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 220d
My bet is Trump Jr. on name recognition alone. Half of MAGA won't even realize that he's another guy. The democrats will still only win by a small margin, if that. (Disclaimer: Not a US-citizen, so totally just speculation from across the pond.)
hector@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 220d
I know you are half joking, but tucker will not get it because he is now against israel, calling out (accurately as far as I am aware,) some of their bullshit lies, epstein being their honeypot, and their factions being behind the kirk killing. Also strong against the Iran war, probably calling out the attempts to stoke the war back to life right now as we speak too.
Even if he did a 180 they would probably kirk him before letting him get it.
I am tempted to say jones is too much of an asshole, but that is what I initially thought about the president before the primaries in 2016.
IronBird@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 220d
fair enough on tucker, jones though...
well...the bar always seems to get lower, for republican presidential candidates
not sure who else is lower than trump
I mention hillary because i have seen her campaign sending mail out already, I really fucking hope that shit is just trying to milk donors for national funding and not the establishment trying to push her on the country one more time.
hector@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 220d
Omg yeah the dems will all but throw it, kamala is trying again too. Dems are so scared of being accused of stepping over a woman/minority, they let the republic fall. Wtf is wrong with them. Newsom is unfit, his chance was 2024 and he declined, pritzker too.
Either would have taken it, then. Too afraid to reach out and take the top job. Not a single challenge for house or senste either, as both leaders are just awful and as popular as syphillis.
Republicans are cheating every way they can so newsom or pritzker, the better of the establishment choices on offer, like syphillis is better than aids, will not be enough to overcome republicans comfortably if at all, and will let the republicans cheat, take it from them, asking courts, and not mobilizing the population even if they squeaked out a win over the new voting regimes.
Also though, I predict indictments fall 2027 for false vote rigging on dems, and that and something targeting newsome directly and personally. That is why 24 was too important to sit out because they did not want bad faith bigotry attacks damaging their reps with the sheep and establishment.
They need someone talking like mamdami, where are the white guys on the actual left? Killed in the cradle by the estsblishment. And white men demonized all around with bernie bros, and other such bad faith ad hominems, what do you expect from those pearl clutching bed wetters though?

being a woman isnt even the issue, the kind of people where woman is the deal breaker are voting R no matter what. i have direct family deep in the maga-sphere, come from bunfuck nowhere midwest, traveled all over the country...
run AOC and you'd get your first woman president, but imo that'd kind of be waste at this stage...actual progressive president without similar progressive congress will just be hamstringed by obstructionist establishment
everyone on the bottom knows they're on the bottom, politicians have been lying to american working class faces for generations...most of the country isnt hateful racists, they're just worn down and tired of being let down when they hope for better
unironically, Obama's whole "Hope and Change" campaign followed by...8 more years of the same ol' shit, pointless wars, ratfucking, and corporate kickbacks... that killed Dem's reputation far more than decades of 24hr conservative propanda/manufactured consent mainstream media shit could possibly manage.
working class america votes for whoever offers the most convincing promises of change, and if that doesn't present itself they vote for immediate personal gain...and i can't really blame of for the latter giving everything i'v seen. it's easy to draw a line on palestine or whatever else but when your worried about putting food on the table for your immediate family/friends?...
Fedizen@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 219d
Getting a progressive president would give them a lot of power to reform the DNC, which is why the DNC will pull every lever to prevent that, including the nuclear option of vetoing the nominee and picking one behind closed doors. I absolutely think its worth it to run somebody as a hamstrung progressive president because they could go open season on lobbyists in the DNC itself.

After watching president after president age like milk, I'm convinced that it's not the stress of office alone doing it. Even during normal times, it's an incredibly demanding position without a lot of room for downtime. Add an attending physician to the mix and you're good to go, packed to the gills with uppers, downers, antibiotics, blood thinners, beta-blockers, anti-parasitics, testosterone, you name it. While you're able to keep the schedule of a 30-year-old this way, you're also burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. It's little wonder that such a person can more or less shake off a bad diet at 80+.
