For the first time...
Come on now.

AKA the mountain of stims he consumes are no longer stimming.

The medication he's getting IVd daily for dementia side effects are making him tired as well as it can cause brain bleeding.
It's entirely possible stims won't work at all on him because of that.

The presidential speedball, dementia meds and lines of Adderall.

It doesn’t matter how bad he gets. Until he’s a drooling mess that can’t say a word or is dead, the GOP will continue to prop him up and use him as a puppet.

And when he's gone they will go radio silent on his health - like they are doing with Mitch McConnel.

Wonder how Herman Cain's doing these days. Still tweeting a lot I assume.

Oh, they're gonna do that even after he's dead for as long as they can get away with it.

Soon we'll reach the point where they have to kill 100 psykers a day to keep him alive on the- wait a minute.

But he seemed so young and spritely before

When I first read "beginning to seem old" I thought "what rock have they been living under?" Then I thought about my dad's slow decline and how striking it was when I realized just how close to death he was. His body had fallen apart over the course of five years, following a major heart attack. He went from a vibrant 80 year old that still did carpentry work and could beat me in arm wrestling to a sallow-faced shadow of the man he was.
I know this is a media piece and I believe the staffers are "shocked" about as much as comatose sloth. I can also see how obvious decline can be missed by those closest to them. Dunno where I was going with this. I'm gonna go think about my dad some. I miss him

What was your dad's favorite song?
SirSamuel@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 63d
♥️ anything by Simon and Garfunkel, The Eagles, or the O Brother, Where Art Thou OST.
LincolnsDogFido@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 63d
Perfect, I've got the Simon and Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water album on vinyl. I'll toss it on the turntable tonight while I'm getting caught up on laundry. Hope you and your dad can share a smile over that 🙂

Denial notwithstanding, the real story here is the "Aides Confessed" part. For a mob that practically worships an authoritarian paternal figure, admitting any weakness is a huge deal. It suggests that it's way worse than all that, and that the cracks in this scheme are showing.

(non-)AI summary: Old man is old.
Zombiepirate@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 64d
I can't wait for his legs to spring a leak like a waterbed and spray out a fine jet of blood during a press conference.
Malyca@lemmy.zip · 19 pts · 63d
He couldn't drink water or go down a small ramp nearly a decade ago

Beginning?

Seem?

First time?

"for the first time"...

Registration-walled. What's the health problem?
erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works · 23 pts · 64d
Coprocephalus.
SirSamuel@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 64d
Lol, nice

Seems like everything else in this article is just Trump and his cronies whining about the news accurately reporting on his appearance and behavior going downhill
Fishnoodle@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 64d
Just look at him
lightnsfw@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 63d
He's still breathing.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · -1 pts · 64d
It's another bullshit Daily beast article where someone looks at photos and speculates.
homes@piefed.world · 7 pts · 64d
It’s not, actually
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · -1 pts · 64d
It is, actually. DB is trash. Just people talking about his visible bruising, neck rash, ankle swelling, cupping his ears. Not one insight from a doctor.
homes@piefed.world · 6 pts · 64d
If you had actually bothered to look, what they are discussing is Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan‘s new book which discusses Donald Trump‘s health, amongst other things— based on interviews with White House aides, not just a bunch of photos.
So, again, no.
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 64d
More “maggie haberman wrote a book” stuff.
Not news, but at least it’s well-structured. “Aides revealed he seemed old” no shit? Woah.
