Trump's Health Hypocrisy and Future
Trump is upset with the New York Times coverage of his personal health. He calls it “seditious, perhaps even treasonous.”
With the ruthless way he went after "Sleepy Joe" Biden, Trump does not get a free pass from the same coverage.
Trump has been seen with swollen ankles, a drooping face on one side, a noticeable decline in his gait that suggests dementia, wandering around dazed at some public events, continuing speech issues, bruises, makeup and/or Band-Aids on his hand that suggest ongoing infusions of some sort. He disclosed he underwent an MRI and has taken multiple tests that gauge cognitive function. He has dropped out of public view for days at a time. He has fallen asleep in public six times in the last 10 days. His public schedule has been reduced. He no longer does press conferences standing up. He is seated at a table or the Oval Office desk -- perhaps to hide his ankles, or to compensate for balance issues, or because he is simply out of gas (stamina issues).
He and the White House claim Trump is in excellent health, which is obviously and sadly false. Trump's health issues are plain for anyone to see who cares to look with an objective eye.
I do not believe Trump will complete his term of office. He will either stroke out, die, or be removed by his cabinet under the 24th Amendment. He may also be impeached (again) by the House when the Democrats regain control, as expected in the 2026 mid-term elections. If so, and if Trump is still in office, the Republicans in the Senate may go along, having grown tired of tired, old, Trump.
In that event, you can be sure opportunist JD Vance will be working hard behind the scenes to hurry that result along.
