He might be, but Biden isn't even concealing his.

The internet's been abuzz with as-yet-unsubstantiated rumors of another unscheduled run to the hospital for Trump yesterday. Regardless of whether that turns out to be true, it does call to mind nagging questions that have been lurking at least since Trump was rushed to Walter Reed in November for an unscheduled visit that the White House later implausibly claimed was part of a multi-visit routine physical.

Putting aside his strange behavior and increasingly obvious mood swings ("nobody likes me!"), the oddities are starting to add up. An apparent inability to walk normally unassisted at times, occasional difficulty holding objects, frequent issues with slurring his speech or other difficulties with language (e.g., "oranges" of the Mueller investigation), frequent bouts of confusion, and recently an open admission to having struggled with the "very hard" questions on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

Is there something going on here?

Lol what on Earth are you all talking about?

Biden had brain surgery, his health is a lot more at risk than Trump's.

Ah Christianity.....


This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

You don't have a clue about Christianity. As a well known preacher in our state once said (he had memorized the Bible in its entirety by the way)

"A Christian must no only love what Jesus loves, they also have to hate what Jesus hates".

Though he's overweight, he seems as alert as ever, and has the stamina of some people chronologically way younger than him.

Biden is the one you should be worried about.

Seems to me that the sudden emergence of President Trump's health as an issue is nothing more than a diversion from the obvious Biden mental health issues.

He is not concealing his weight. It is obvious to anyone who looks at him. What is your prejudice against people struggling with their weight. Do you know how many people in this world are struggling with their weight. Especially people over 40. Stop the hate already.

Trump famously claimed to be taller so that the likely underestimate of his weight didn't take his BMI into the "obese" category. He's got to be at least seven feet tall now to do that.

You have real complex. Have you thought about psychiatric help. Are you always this cynical towards everyone. Judge their appearance, their looks, if they are handicapped, or if they have a health condition. Do you think FDR was a loser because he couldn't walk. What about JFK and all the pain medication for his back? Or do you just have a prejudice hate for Trump and enjoy making fun of some of his problems like the bully at school. Do you know how many people struggle with weight and other health issues? You remind me of the movie planes, trains, and automobiles when Steve Martin was tearing down John Candy.

The Obama staff required more waivers for background checks than any other administration. Mainly for those who had used illegal narcotics within 5 years of them being hired. I suspect that the Trump whitehouse's spending on weed, and coke is far lower than the prior administration's

I AM the psychiatric help. Trump is a loser on so many levels we need to invent some new ones just for him. I'm not making fun of his vanity and self-delusion, they're all too real.

Money lending?

Given that Usury was banned for hundreds of years, I would say money lending in general at least with interest being charged

I still think you need some help. My mom is overweight and it does not make her a bad person.
 
I chose 'probably' but because he's likely aware he's unwell but is too stubborn and macho to find out why. He hasn't been properly examined but whatever it is it is afflicting him physically and mentally.

He's never been that 'fit' but he has grown surprisingly fat over the years and seems increasingly frail; he's never been that 'smart' but interviews from 30 years ago show charm, savvy and the ability to stay on topic, qualities he lacks now. He's clearly not all there.

The question then is how bad his deterioration is likely to get, and how quickly.

Did you see the Biden interview?

Nope, link to the one in question please. I have watched several entire trump interviews, press conferences and large chunks of rally speeches - not just soundbites - and they are truly shocking examples of rambling incoherence. I've watched some Biden interviews and they seem like pretty boring politician stuff to me. If you have a good one, I'll watch it.

Bear in mind I'm comparing the entirety of a trump show to a Biden one. Just a typical politician's exaggeration, or a one-line gaffe or a single tough question won't cut it. I'd like to see a whole Biden interview or speech go as wild as a Trump one.

Post 147, three posts up I think.

Here's the transcript:

"Well...If he can’t figure out the difference between and elephant and a lion, I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about. Did you watch that, look come on, man, I...I...I...I know you’re trying to goad me, but uh I mean, I’m so forward to looking into have an opportunity to sit with the President, or stand with the President, and debates. There are gonna be plenty of time. And by the way, as I joke with him, you know, I...I shouldn’t say it, I’m gonna say something I don't, I probably shouldn’t say, anyway, I am uh I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical and mental fil...my physical as well as my mental fil..fitness, and uh, to uh, you know, to make a judgment about who I am."
