"Confidant says Trump's health might be too poor to run for (Former) president again"

[Me.]

“Former President Trump’s diet and age could prove to be pivotal factors determining whether he runs in 2024, Rev. Franklin Graham told Axios on HBO.

The president of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and an early supporter to the former president, told the outlet he’s unsure if Trump’s health will permit another campaign.

"I think for him, everything will depend on his health at that time. If he still has energy and strength like he does. I don't," Graham said.

"You know the guy does not eat well, you know, and it's amazing the energy that he has," Graham added.”

1. Hey, hill, it is confidante, noun, not confidant, adjective. Geez.

[Walleye]

6. Sinema made a glaring grammatical error yesterday just grates on me. A college teacher

I think it was in a written statement complaining “they were shooting footage of my students and I” I never know if they’re doing it for effect, or if they’re really that ignorant. It’s tiresome, though

[niyad]

14. They really are that ignorant. And it is tiresome, irritating, annoying, and grating.

[Walleye]

19. Thanks. So it's not just me

Sorry, couldn’t help myself

[sir pball]

18. Did you mean the adjective "confident"? Cuz "confidant" is defos a noun

con·fi·dent
/ˈkänfədənt/
Learn to pronounce
adjective
feeling or showing confidence in oneself; self-assured.
"we require outgoing, confident people able to approach large groups"

con·fi·dant
/ˈkänfəˌdant,ˈkänfəˌdänt/
Learn to pronounce
noun
a person with whom one shares a secret or private matter, trusting them not to repeat it to others.
"a close confidante of the princess"

"Confidante" is merely the feminine of "confidant", being derived from French - e.g. Mr. Graham is a confidant of T, but Omarosa is/was a confidante of T.

21. I hate auto correct,

[ornotna]

28. Auto correct is evil

Turn it off, I have and am so much happier for doing so.

[Hav]

30. I hate auto correct, especially when using a different language

but I've noticed it has also become a popular scapegoat. It's amusing when people blame auto correct when that was clearly not the issue instead of just admitting that they made a mistake.

[niyad]

31. If I could find it, I most certainly would. It was apparently programmed by an illiterate,

fundy trumphumper. (Is that redundant?)

[Me.]

46. Don't We All

I blanch at some of the things I've written...

[onenote]

47. Hey, confident is an adjective. Confidante and confidant are basically interchangeable nouns.

So sayeth Webster.

2. From his lips to god's ears

[marble falls]

3. 45 finally realizes he's going to have to face some music sooner or later. He's just looking to ...

... looking to mint up a reason to lighten his load in from of a sentencing judge.

Or he believes he still has a chance to be "re-elected" by acclamation.

[riversedge]

16. I am wondering if this was a 'planned' leak?? -as an excuse NOT to run again. Trump

has hinted he would run and his fans are certainly egging him on. Health would be probably
the only good reason NOT to run for is fans IMHO. But, on the other hands why would Graham focus
so much on his poor eating habits.

[marble falls]

24. That would make sense to me and works with my first thought, too ...

... Graham's comment about 45's diet were a bit bonkers.

[Me.]

25. Could Be

With all the lawsuits and probes he may be looking for a way out

[riversedge]

34. time will tell.

[NCjack]

4. I wish I could buy him a Mac 2X cheeseburger with French Fries.

[lagomorph777]

12. I'll throw in a five gallon bucket of fried chicken.

All mixed together.

5. What's amazing about drug addiction ? He may have energy but where he gets it from

may not be healthy for him

23. Amphetamines

They were everywhere at college in the 70s. You could take a Black Beauty and study all night and into the next day.
Methamphetamines are how the Nazis amazed everyone with their Blitzkrieg early in WW2. They could march for 3 days on no rest, cause they were amped up just like Hitler and all the top brass.

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Tradename Pervatin

Works great for 6 weeks of blitzkrieg, but after that it's taken to avoid withdrawal. And, soldiers on the eastern front were hallucinating because they didn't sleep for days.
Actually, a Reich doctor got the government to ban them for the military but vermacht & Waffen SS officers got sympathetic civilian doctors to prescribe them anyway. It got to the point that Merck contracted a second company to make 900,000 doses a day, to supplement their 1.3 million doses a day.
Soldiers were writing their families asking for cookies, socks & Pervatin.
By the height of the siege of Leningrad, German soldiers were shooting at imaginary attacks. When they ran out of bullets, the red army would attack & capture a few thousand at a time.
Worked for a while, but turned out to be a disaster.
Good thinking Adolf.

[SCantiGOP]

40. My brother was Special Forces in Vietnam

He said amphetamines were standard issue when they went into the field.
He said health concerns about the pills didn’t come into consideration when you were being dropped miles behind enemy lines.

[Carlitos Brigante]

39. According to this one guy Noel Casler, who worked on that stupid ass show of

Trump's, Trump loves doing 'rails' of Adderall.

(Now I'm not saying that I believe everything this Casler guy has said. He's made some wild claims. Nor do I disbelieve him either. I have no idea if he's a legit source. But there it is.)

[Eyeball_Kid]

8. Trump has been pumping stimulants into his system for decades.

Of course he has "energy." What a stupid assertion.

Diet Cokes are saturated with caffeine and he drinks that stuff all day long. And no one wants to talk about his Adderall addiction, which acts as a stimulant.

Trump is sending his acolytes off to prison to protect HIM. ETTD, remember. Bannon and the band of Trumpers who are getting subpoenas, and who follow Trump's direction to defy them, are in for a rude awakening. The Jan 6 Committee knows that push has indeed come to shove, and they aren't going to soft-pedal this kind of defiance.

What Thompson should do is jail them for inherent contempt AND send criminal referrals to the DOJ. No mercy, Bennie.

[Johnny2X2X]

9. He's actually lost some weight since leaving office

But he looks much older too.

If he's holding rallies still and speaking for 1 hour plus at them, he's well enough to run. Keep an eye on that. I would not count on health saving us from another Trump run.

Biden looks and moves like he's old, but physically he's in very good shape for someone his age.

[lagomorph777]

13. Can you picture Turd on a bicycle?

Joe looks great on a bike; happy and graceful.

[LiberalFighter]

43. Is the weight loss intentional?

[East-A-Squared]

10. Hasn't he suffered lung damage from Covid?

[tanyev]

11. Fingers crossed.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. Energy Adderall

[Faux pas]

17. He's

not too unhealthy to go to prison!

[FakeNoose]

20. Hah! He has to concede the 2020 election first

The main reason Chump hasn't started a campaign for 2024 is that he doesn't want to concede. What an asshole! But he really needs those sweet, sweet campaign donations from the ChumpHumpers. What's a lifetime grifter supposed to do?

[Kid Berwyn]

22. Mental health.

Evil demented dumb fuck is evil.

[Retrograde]

26. Getting his excuses in line (n/t)

[Wednesdays]

27. tRump wasn't healthy enough to run in 2016

yet here we are.

[andym]

29. It's a question of his mind, his health seems OK, just an unhealthy lifestyle

Some people can have a very unhealthy lifestyle and have good longevity and maintain health into extreme old age. Probably due to genetics. His dad lived into his 90's, but with dementia.

[Eyeball_Kid]

42. The closer Trump gets to being indicted and convicted,

the more "disabled" he'll become. When the guilty verdict is read, Trump will be moaning from a wheelchair.

[bluestarone]

32. I honestly feel that TFG is in it for

3 more years of DONATIONS. MONEY MONEY MONEY! They found out that there is MILLIONS and MILLIONS of people that will continue their donations to THEIR GOD on earth.

[Vinca]

33. Trump's going to run if it takes his last breath to do it. He's out for revenge.

The scary part is he could win.

[Maru Kitteh]

35. Amphetamines are amazing?

Okay then.

[jcgoldie]

37. I thought he was gonna live to be 200?

Fake news Franklin Graham!

[malaise]

38. He'll croak way before 2024

Take that to the bank

[Me.]

45. DEspite All The Conjecture

I have never thought we would see him run in '24

[Wounded Bear]

41. The way things are going they'll prop him up "Weekend at Bernie's" style and run...

[LiberalFighter]

44. Will Graham claim God cured the orange idiot?

[onenote]

48. If I had a nickel for every DU post that predicted Trump's imminent or at least early demise

I'd have a whole lot of nickels.

[womanofthehills]

49. Trump lost followers after Jan 6

many feel betrayed. DeSantis leads Trump in all the Twitter polls I have seen.

[DavidDvorkin]

50. If he does run, he'll be running for president, not former president

That makes no sense.

[Progressive Jones]

51. I hope he's dead as soon as possible. nt

[Hekate]

52. From his lips to the Lady's ears

I look at him and think of the original online cats: I Can Haz Cheeseburger?
