Regarding Trump's hospital visit: "Stop for a moment and consider he has a family"





I am reading a lot of tweets about Trump going to Walter Reed hospital. Everyone should stop for one moment and consider that he has a family. If something is wrong, if he's actually sick, we should all join together and pray it's contagious.

Even the damn in law kids, and Melaria's parents. Hope they all go bankrupt and can't afford healthcare. Sucks my taxes pay his. Let the billionaires he gave our country to pay to keep his ass alive.

he can get in right away.

My wife, on the other hand, has to wait a month and a half for an endoscopy even though she's had stomach pains for months because like many middle class Americans I have shitty, rationed healthcare with financially crippling copays.

This is why I'm for Warren, and quite unapologetic about supporting Medicare for All. We do NOT need to be spending $733 billion on 'defense.' We don't need a space force. We need to repeal the giant 2017 tax cut for billionaires and corporations, and generally raise taxes so that our tax money that we pay in to this government that is supposedly of, by and for the people is actually used for stuff that materially benefits we who pay those taxes.

We're always touting how we're the "richest country in the world" and yet so much inequality. Are those billionaires going to miss one billion? Are they every going to have to worry about getting anything they need or want? I will never understand how someone with that much money wouldn't want to share their good fortune. Never.

I am so sorry for you and your wife and for all the others out there who not only have to worry about a medical problem but then have to worry about paying for care.

Effectively "calling in sick" and he can no longer be president. His ego won't let him resign llike Nixon. It would have to be some sort of out side force that compels him to default b/c of a medical condition....... like fecal encephalopathy....... AKA...shit for brains

I've actually felt this way since 2016. One term, he can boast about all of his success and blame his failures on the Democrats afterwards. The easiest out, a medical condition. I think the rallies and campaigning of late (big losses) as well as no guarantee of reelection and the impeachment stuff might be finally getting to him and he's not up to four more years and/or dying in office.

Ala all the witch hunts and persecution ruined my health.

I think it’s the way to go Donnie. Senate Republicans are looking and your numbers and planning to cut bait any second. A self-initiated medical resignation and retirement to a country with no extradition is the closest you are going to get to a dignified end to all this.

So he can be convicted and sentenced , and pay for all his crimes. His stress levels knowing they are closing in as everyone is turning and talking , and he gets exposed more every day have to be skyrocketing upward , and he is likely not sleeping hardly any . Karma is coming back to haunt him now. He doesn't know who his whistle blower is , but it could be Pence, Ivanka, Jared, or anyone near him, even Kellyanne Conway. The stress is only going to get worse for him until he resigns.

You remember this so-called physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson. Handing out sedatives and stimulants like they were, well... candy.


Or has Canteloupe Calligula brought back Harold Bornsteen, the MD (malpractice defendant) from NYC who said he was the healthiest president ever?

Like many people, I thought that it was sincere and my first thought was for all those crying, terrorized children being separated from their families.

Of course, the thought of Trump having something contagious that could effect his family is funny. Unfortunately, his greed and lack of empathy for anyone not in his immediate "me and mine" group have already infected most of his family and many others as well.

I am praying it is contagious and not just for the family. We should include Stephen Miller, the idiotic press secretary, Slick Mick, Moscow Mitch, and others. I didn’t include Little Lindsay because he has already caught the disease and is himself contagious.
