He almost certainly has something worse if this is what he's admitting to.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

he also refuses to wear reading glasses prescribed to him.

Best of luck to the swelling and bruising

The doctor said Trump had a minor problem.

Which is exactly what the Epstein list said, too.

Did they check to see if he had a brain? We know he never had a heart.

[–] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 18 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

BS He has heart failure perhaps without decreased ejection fraction. He has obviously getting diuretic injections into his hand on a daily basis vs just taking a pill. But it is not common for anyone to have lower extremity edema without some kind of systemic issue. I assume he has already tried wearing compression socks. Another lie to add on top of all the others.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

does he even listen to his doctors advice, i feel like hes one of those people that believe the contrary

[–] LMurch@thelemmy.club 14 points 11 hours ago

Where I come from, we called this, "a good start".

President Vance, with a tactical hamberder, in a furniture store.

In fifty years, people will be writing essays about why this comment makes sense and is hilarious.

\\ Hello future essay writers, I hope you have accrued enough credits to keep your crate cool tonight!\\

If he actually dies, would JD Vance replace him? Actually, maybe then Trump’s not that bad then…

[–] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The entire line of succession is currently 100% Republican. It goes from Vance to RFK Jr all the way to Noem. So yes, it looks bad either way.

[–] InternetRando@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 5 hours ago

Great time for the 2A

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

the official report is that he has a common treatable disease? so that means he is hours away from spontaneously composting, right?

[–] TheCleric@lemmy.org 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Spontaneously composting.

Bam you’re fertile dirt.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

He’s maxed out on the blood thinners. I think that accounts for both described symptoms. I am not a doctor, but I did watch all of House, twice.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 43 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Tbh it sounds like hes having a heart failure (finally), I just cannot believe ol Mac didnt hit him sooner

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 53 points 15 hours ago (6 children)

Don't do that to me. Don't give me hope.

Yeah, edema (fluid gathering, causing swelling) is a classic sign of diastolic heart failure. It’s caused by the muscle fibers of the heart stiffening, which reduces the heart’s ability to expand and draw fresh blood in between beats. Usually caused by a lack of exercise. The heart can’t draw blood back up from the legs, which increases blood pressure in the legs as blood gets pumped down but not back up. This extra pressure in the legs forces fluid out of the veins and into the surrounding tissues, causing swelling.

The exam found Trump, 79, has chronic venous insufficiency.

As someone who has been treated for this, I can confidently say bullshit. His ankles are swollen like he got them beaten and broken with a crow bar for not paying his debts.

My professional medical diagnosis is he has demon legs with no knees.

Source: making it up but I’m right.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

its call cankles.

If he's admitting to having something minor, then he must be at death's door....

Wouldn't it be ironic if Biden outlives him?

Is it bad that I got a lil excited reading this headline

are you giddy because an elderly man is reaching the end of his earthly time, or because the most deranged pedophilic fascist will finally do one thing that makes the world a better place?
