Ten-year-old nabisco offTM:

Here's something funny: when I was ten years old I had a vague admiration for Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca (both very feted at the time) and a downright intense love of Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties, who I didn't understand to be something of a joke. As such, despite having really liked Mondale -- having a woman as a running mate impressed me, probably because of the mother/father dynamic of it -- I was convinced that I wanted to be a Republican and a businessman or lawyer of some sort. In fact, I started a "company" with my friends Brian and Jeff -- we made board games, and hired Tony, the best breakdancer I have ever known, to do the art -- and I was constantly attempting to read the law and economics books in my father's library. Everyone seemed to think this was "cute," though I sort of wish someone had just explained politics to me. In either case, I got over it quickly and went back to wanting to be a writer.

You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say,
"That's the bad guy.

You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
So say good night to the bad guy!
Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you.
Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

You certainly don't, pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them; you can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit. You ARE shit! Hit the bricks, pal, and beat it 'cause you are going OUT!

Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

Yeah, me too. I refuse to listen to his voice anymore unless I absolutely have to. Did something in particular he said make him seem more unwell than... anything in the last, I don't know, three years?

I make up a voice in my head for him that is a cross between Eric Cartman and Dave Foley’s elderly CEO character from the Kids in the Hall

il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Thursday, 4 June 2026 02:08 (yesterday)

speculation on trumps medical condition from a paramedic, kind of an annoying piece i wouldnt really recommend it but heres the diagnosis

By July 2025, we could all see the gross swelling of the ankles. Photos at the Club World Cup final show visibly swollen ankles. Makeup visibly covering bruises on his hand. White House is forced to announce a diagnosis. They said he had chronic venous insufficiency. A condition where leg veins can’t push blood back to the heart.

That is, by definition, impaired blood flow in the extremities. You know, the same thing they said wasn’t an issue three months prior.

Then come the MRI’s and CT scans. The same one that Trump said he passed despite it not being a pass-fail test. These are also the same tests that he had no idea where they were taken from.

Most of the doctors who have talked to the news have stated that they believe they have been tracking the mental decomposition of Trump’s brain. They think they are monitoring the obvious growing neurological impairments that Trump keeps displaying.

I’d challenge that.

Trump is suffering from symptoms of chronic heart failure (CHF). That is caused when the heart cannot pump blood through the body without backing up. That is what causes all that swelling and edema. It is why if you could use his ankles like silly putty and capture scenes from Marmaduke in the newspaper with it.

There are a lot of different causes of CHF. More often than not it is caused by BLC, or commonly known as bad life choices. The heart no longer has the strength it needs due to stress, damage, and other circumstances.

It isn’t fatal. It does cause people to not sleep at night well because if they are not sleeping with a c-pap machine then they are sleeping elevated to stop the fluid from backing up into the lungs and causing them to stop breathing.

It also should mean a low sodium diet and a fuck ton of Lasix. That’s a med that takes excessive fluid out of your body. We all know that Trump sustains himself only on McDonalds and bigotry, so we know that he doesn’t comply with the low sodium aspect.

Except that doesn’t explain why he has been getting a CT scan EVERY three months. A significant number of medical professionals are dead set that they are worried about his mental decline, and they are trying to make sure he still has all neurologic functions.

I think that there is something more dangerous that his medical team is monitoring and tracking. I think that what they are monitoring closely isn’t his mental health. It is the time bomb in his belly.

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is what happens when the Aorta (Main blood delivery system to the heart) starts to get a bulge in it. The side wall of the Aorta starts to push outward. It is a serious life-threatening condition.

If a AAA ruptures, which they are prone to do, then unless you are physically on an operating table under bright lights with a skilled surgeon, you can kiss your ass goodbye.

The AAA makes the CHF worse which also explains why he has the pitting edema in every extremity. Edema is what happens when there is a fluid leakage from the blood vessels and the body’s natural drain system (The Lymphatic system) isn’t able to filter out all the excess fluid from the blood.

It causes that ‘sloshy’ looking skin that if you press into, leaves an indent. When you know what you are looking for, you can spot pitting edema across the room just by the socks the person is wearing.

if he's still playing golf, i don't care how almost dead he is, he's got several months to go minimum

so, i just want to know when he stops playing golf, then i'll start paying more attention to how close he is to dying

z_tbd, Thursday, 4 June 2026 16:54 (yesterday)

According to the Trump golf tracker (https://didtrumpgolftoday.com/) he hasn't played since May 17. If he doesn't play this weekend, that will be the first time since the start of this term that he's gone three weeks without playing.

paper plans (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 4 June 2026 17:03 (yesterday)

they can keep people alive so long now particularly with the infinite medical resources he has

I think its pretty likely that access to the best medical care in the world is probably the thing keeping him alive right now, similar to how COVID probably would've killed him if he wasn't able to get airlifted to cutting edge treatment. obviously this administration is being as opaque as they possibly can but we do know his schedule is basically wide open most days and that he's being administered MRIs and cognitive tests fairly frequently, fair to say whatever it is he's receiving treatment for it around the clock.
