Seriously, how can Trump be in proper health to run for president in 2024?

He is a creature of bad eating habits. Science is the only thing that is keeping him from an early health-related demise. The only thing that I have seen that was probably brought on by a sideeffect of Crestor is weakening muscle tone. The man cannot hold a glass without two hands, and he needs help walking up and down stairs. I'm not a doctor, so that's just an assumption that the two are related.

In the end, he's a weak mess. Not exactly the kind of guy that right-wingers are known to support.

it doesn't matter if he is actually in good health, it's just important to have someone who seems official SAY he is in good health.

All he really needs to be able to do is read a teleprompter, and not even that well if history is any guide.

His cult is large enough that if he runs, he’ll be an extremely heavy favorite.

That’s what republicans want in a president today. Someone who upsets and insults everyone except his base.
Being sick, mentally incompetent or outright insane is not part of their political equation.
Doesn't matter if he destroys their families and kills their children.
If he makes everyone upset they can feel smug and content in their choice.

He wasn't in particularly good health or eating habit back then. People just didn't care. People didn't care about Biden's age either.

If you compare tfg video clips, stills and speeches from ‘15 to now there’s a big difference. He really has slipped..actually more like fell off a cliff! Fatter, more swollen, worse color, speech is pitiful. Two yrs b4 he would have to start campaigning all the time non stop...he won’t be able to keep up the pace.

As far as if he will run, I won't make any prediction cause he is just crazy and a lot of things can happen before 2023.

Yeah, he's a weak mess, but he has always been a weak mess. Granted, he's worse now, after his bout with COVID, a likely stroke, and continued drug abuse. None of it bothered The Cult then, I don't think it will now.

Sometimes whether he wanted it or not. Probably tried to hide and restrain his drug abuse. Not so now. Not that I want to see his ugly face on TV but is he still “golfing regularly? You know, riding his fat ass around the course. Probably gets some minimal exercise that way.

Public Urinal, to be registered with the Guinness World Records Organization, who will track the billions and billions of international travelers in the decades and centuries to come, relieving their bladders on the anointed slop hog rotting in his grave.

and that apparently was all the media needed to see, and all the GOP needed to hear and see.

The inconvenient truth is fake news, and his supporters don't believe anything else, and the media won't disabuse them of the obvious lies.

long before he had Covid. I have no doubt he has dementia. It’s easy to cover for it in the beginning but there comes a point where that’s no longer possible which will be long before the nest election.
