independent.co.uk

Trump is nearly 80-years-old, loves steak and Big Macs, was hospitalized with Covid-19, and has been shot, but has maintained his health is fine

Since Donald Trump first emerged on the scene of American politics in 2015, he has refused to provide a glimpse into his medical records.

If Trump, 78, succeeds in November, he will become the oldest person ever to serve as president, ousting the current record-holder, Joe Biden. When his potential second term ends, he will be 82 years old.

Despite his advanced age, Trump has refused to provide any glimpse into his records. When asked about his health in 2015, he provided a four-paragraph letter from his doctor, who claimed he would be the “healthiest person ever elected to the presidency.”

The doctor had a tear in his eye. He said that "was the greatest colon he's ever seen". Much better than crooked Joe's colon. Beautiful colon. He also said that I had the most bigly penis he's ever seen.

My money is on him having and STI that will show up in his health records. There’s no other reason he would hide it. In fact if he was perfectly healthy as he claims, he would have been the first one to release it and then brag about it 24x7

Or he just wasn't able to pass the dementia test.

The main reason he's hiding it is because he wants to be treated like a god by his followers.

But let's be honest: he's going to release a false report if push comes to shove.

He has no upside to release his health records. Or tax record.

We should probably just listen to his doctor, Dr. Ronny Jackson, who flooded the White House with all sorts of pills. He even had some nice dog whistles to eugenics to say about Trump.

"It's called genetics," Jackson said. "Some people just have great genes. I told the president if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years he might live to be 200."

He also said Trump was 6' 3" and 239 lbs. except when they did his booking in NYC and Georgia it said something else. His NYC booking put his stats @ 6' 2" and 240 lbs., but then in Georgia a month later he was measured at 6' 3" and 215 lbs. meaning he gained an inch and lost 25 lbs.

And apparently some "expert" used a photo to determine Trump is really only 5' 11" when comparing him to his youngest son Barron who is 6' 7" tall.

Trump wears Elevator shoes to appear taller. This is part of the reason why he’s always hunched forward.

DeSantis also wears them.

Lol saying some people have great genes is not eugenics. My grandma is 101 and has had milky way bars and other candy every day for the past 30yrs. Some people are literally more predisposed to long life.

But Trump very much believes in eugenics, so you have to read his report knowing that Trump was part of crafting every word of it. His German heritage, coupled with his fascination with Hitler, his father marching with the KKK, all make it hard to believe he isn't just telling you who he is.

Otherwise yes, some people hit the gene lotto and don't have risk factors to a lot of diseases. But that is not what Trump is talking about when he talks about genes, he thinks he is the "master race".

Edit - A piece on Trump's gene beliefs for context.

Candy bars every day since she was only 71!

If she didn't have them every day before that, I'd be celebrating too!

That's congressman Ronny Jackson (R-TX).

Yep, Texas' 13th district elected Dr. Feelgood to congress.

His frontal lobes must look like Swiss cheese.

Let’s taste them.

Let's taste them.

MFW Trump Derangment Syndrome is real and it's a prion disease.

Not me. I got my DNA tested and I'm not carrying the zombie gene. It's kind of like how some people don't like cilantro. But I hope you enjoy it.

I just woke up, still in a haze, that was my first comment of the day. It can only get better from here.

I believe in you

That makes one of us.

Two. I believe in you, as well. You've got spunk kid, we just need to focus on either gross OR scientific, probably not both at the same time when it comes to Trump.

You've got spunk kid, ...

Definitely not a kid, and I have some bad news about spunk when you get old.

He could beat Lincoln's record of oldest president to be assassinated by over 20 years. If that happens then the run is basically dead -- whose gonna be older and a bigger piece of shit? That's TAS only.

If he just died before the election that’s still best case scenario. Vance would flop against Harris and the coup attempts would have a bit less juice and fervor, I would hope. I don’t even know if the GOP could hold together if that happened

I think that's why they were hoping for an assassination.

They could have gone full "do it for Him!" and got them all riled up.

It's a bit less exciting when he dies on the toilet, although no doubt it'd painted as a far-left Jewish trans-agenda toilet that killed him, rather than 70 years of awful diet choices.

hate to wish it on anyone but i hope he croaks before election day

Can you imagine the conspiracy theories! I hope he lives long enough to lose.

Wasn’t he just a stable genius not too long ago?

poor people of Springfield, relegated to eating medical records

Does he have to? Seems like a weird peer pressure thing to invade his privacy.
