He’s old, old people bruise easily. He’s also incredibly vain, hence the atrocious hair and orange skin. I’m not sure why anyone is shocked that he would wear make up on his hands to cover bruising. Could it be from IVs, could it be from blood thinners, could it be from being clumsy? All are possible and he would use make up for any of them.

Could there be more going on with his health? Yes. But the story doesn’t tell you anything more than what is going on with most people who are 80 years old.

I guess that aspirin is probably the cause, and at this age I think it's quite usual to take blood flow meds, no? (not that I know why)

No I get it, I can't stand the guy and everything he talks is utter shit.

Even still, "old man suffers from age-related complaints" is hardly a revelation to anyone.

I think this is a big reason they're so desperate for people to stop talking about it...

trump would admit to wild shit a decade ago, he's undoubtedly worse now. Someone asking him ""what's the youngest woman who's slept with you?" In a "nice" manner would likely get him to just openly admit to raping a child.

If it's not phrased in a way that he gets defensive, he's liable to just fucking answer.

If I remember correctly, it was known before his first presidency that he walked in on underaged girls changing. Also, "grab them by the pussy". He's extremely obviously been a shitty person for a long time and it literally does not matter at all

Ewww... No one wants to see the hard toadie.

....

Yes, they will

But you realize we can educate people right?

Like, someone that uneducated today only stays uneducated if no one educated them, and whether or not you want to "help" them, we're all better off if we educate them.

You haven't been paying attention. Trump gained younger voters in 2024. He didn't need "boomers" to become President. He needed money, lies, and young men to vote for him, which they did.

I doubt it. With the caveat that unless Donvict and pals completely fuck up/stall out/reverse breakthroughs in medicine - dementia may become a thing of the past, I suppose.

But I seriously doubt there is any substantive difference between people born between arbitrary years, labeled "boomers", and any other set of people born between arbitrary years.

I have no problem believing someone would be ruining the country if they were in charge.

So he already showed signs of it months ago and now he's on doses of aspirin for blood thinning so intense his hands are covered in bruises. It's unlikely they'd prescribe such a high dose unless he had a serious need for blood thinning such as a history of arterial blockage

It doesn't. You can have this sort of bruising for all sorts of reasons.

He still probably did have a stroke though.

I don't care if he dies from a stroke or from a heart attack, as long as he gets on with it.

There is a word for everything

That's less fun

Don't you think they're sticking him a lot though? For them to go to a noticeable place, they've probably tried all other locations. My guess is that they fluid him up every day with either electrolytes or some kind of dementia meds. He's wearing a bandaid, they may even have a permanent stint in there.

A heart attack is not an ailment. It's like getting bruised: certain people in certain situations are more likely to get it, but it's not a disease or condition and just randomly happens. everybody gets heart attacks
