Frankly, if my grossly overweight patient with heart failure and

[PCIntern]

Obvious deterioration both mentally and physically, progressing rapidly, grossly swollen legs and feet and history of Transient Ischemic Attacks, I would advise against a 20,000 mile round trip airline flight, no matter how mobile you could in fact be during that flight.

This trip has potential to be highly problematic health-wise. But what do I know?

[bif]

1. Fingers crossed!

It would be a terrible shame if anything happened to the Rapist.

[rambler_american]

61. We will just have to hope for the best.

won't we.

[Snackshack]

97. OMG... thanks for the flashback from

a now iconic SNL skit.

[questionseverything]

2. Tease!

[displacedvermoter]

3. We can only hope his doctors are as bad as his lawyers...

[Jerry2144]

7. How about RFK, Jr in charge of his health care?

[Skittles]

55. if they are bootlickers

that is a given

[Ocelot II]

4. We can only hope nothing minor happens.

[BannonsLiver]

5. Yes it's positively insane.

But I’m hopeful.

[MustLoveBeagles]

6. Don't get people's hopes up 😉

[Baitball Blogger]

8. If I were China I wouldn't want him traveling for a diplomatic visit at this time.

If something happens to Trump, MAGA will claim the Chinese poisoned him.

[erronis]

18. And they'd have to find a big enough box to do a return shipment1

To say nothing about fluids leaking. (Sorry!)

[Just Jerome]

24. Glad I'm

only having a protein shake for dinner.

[WestMichRad]

48. They could probably find room on a container ship.

[popsdenver]

46. Exactly

Perfect set up for our CIA to pull a false flag? (or is it Black Flag?) operation, have something happen to him, and blame it on China......

For those here old enough to remember ....
............wouldn't be the first time our government did that........

If I were China, I wouldn't let him anywhere near my country......and in all truth, "Mr. Worldly" couldn't even point out China on a blank map............

[Bluetus]

90. And then

[Maru Kitteh]

9. That's why, as a health professional, I endorse this trip for that person.

Carry on sir (with tears in my eyes).



editing to add: I am not a big strong man, but hopefully my tears will do

[PatSeg]

20. Yes, I am tearfully supporting

his diplomatic trip as I believe he can do it! "Don't let the naysayers or doctors dissuade you sir, sniff, sniff. You can do this!"

[maxsolomon]

10. Blood clots can happen to anyone.

And not always to people who deserve it.

[Old Crank]

80. Compression socks.

Doctors orders. I use them on flights longer than 2 hours. That normally covers 90 percent of my flights.

[ZDU]

11. Let us pray

[Torchlight]

12. His degenerative health and high risk behavior are

tough for even Joe Sixpack to look past and ignore. I think the best messaging defense they have available on this one is the anemic, "well... let's just wait and see, it happens to the best of us.."

[Liberal In Texas]

13. Flying in AF1 isn't like flying on an airliner.

It has an office/gym, a bedroom, a dining area/conference room, a full kitchen and a medical facility. It's almost not much more cramped and stressful than walking around the WH or one of his golf clubs.

But hope live eternally.

[PCIntern]

16. Cardiovascularly, flying poses threats

for brittle patients. There are many issues including but not limited to cabin pressure variations.

[Ocelot II]

34. Even if you can move around in AF1 unlike on an airliner, the cabin in any airplane

is pressurized to the equivalent of 10,000 feet above seal level, which is at about the limit of where you can start to get hypoxia. So an overweight 80-year-old with possible congestive heart failure and a history of TIAs flying to China is basically going to be sitting on top of San Jacinto Peak for 10 hours. Many hours at 10,000' can reduce O2 saturation to about 88%, which might not be a good thing for said overweight 80-year-old.

[Aviation Pro]

53. Lower, probably 6,000 with upgrades

To the pressurization kit.

[Maru Kitteh]

65. Hmm. Pushing the limits on the skin of an aging beast . .

well. That is one way to go.

[Aviation Pro]

73. No doubt the mechanics

Do plenty of non-destructive testing on the fuselage.

[3Hotdogs]

74. --- and he's gotta do it two times.

[FHRRK1]

79. why must you use that bedroom talk

You are teasing that special "NASTY" number! (not that one)

Oh no, can we hope the O2 saturation drops to 86!

Oh god help me, could it happen at 47,000 feet?

[Botany]

84. Not only @ 47,000 feet but in the middle of the Pacific Ocean too.

I am sure that the plane has medical gear but ….. we always can hope for a massive cerebral vascular accident.

[tavernier]

88. And we all know how much Jabba loves to move around.

I’m surprised he doesn’t hire two strong men to carry his chair from room to room and transfer him onto the toilet.

[Liberal In Texas]

71. True.

[COL Mustard]

28. It's still pressurized

With the concomitant risk of a DVT for an elderly traveler.

[catchnrelease]

95. But considering who it is

It's not like he's going to be getting up out of his chair and walking around any more than he has to.

[Blue Owl]

14. You are now free to move about the cabin....

[usonian]

15. Do you know why he flies so much? To catch lightning in the sky and not just wait for it to show up.

This time, probably because he likes "high steaks" diplomacy. (30,000 feet high)

Jet engine flame broiled, with afterburners on full blast.



BUT BE WARNED.
Space aliens have been doxxed to the general public, and I hear that
THEY ARE PISSED
and will get even.

[PCIntern]

41. Well done with lots of ketchup.

[no_hypocrisy]

17. Hey Orrex! Blood clots in the legs often occur during looooong plane trips.

Embolisms and all that.

Jes' sayin'

[dave99]

19. Death Ride

[nclib]

21. Don't threaten me with a good time.

[Vinca]

22. Don't give us false hope, PC. He hasn't even designed the royal crypt yet.

[NoMoreRepugs]

23. Please make it happen. I can't keep my party planner on retainer much longer.

[Aviation Pro]

25. I hope he gets a double dose of hypoxia on the flight

Hypoxic hypoxia and stagnant hypoxia (because he won't move his fat, fucking ass).

[haryn]

26. Oh Please

The only good thing he could do for this country and the world is to forever leave them.

[IbogaProject]

27. I'm just rooting for bedridden

With very poor speech and inability to post anymore. I want him to watch every one move on for awhile, especially for people to start to rebuke him while he is still alive.

[AZ8theist]

68. MY fervent wish:

[niyad]

75. May it be so!

[ultralite001]

29. If Krasnov is such a great negotiator...

Why isn't he going to Iran???

[mercuryblues]

30. You're saying

That like it's a bad thing

[Fil1957]

31. Hate to rain on the parade, but he's going to be just fine.

[Ocelot II]

35. Someday he won't be.

[Fil1957]

36. True, but not as soon as people hope or think it will be.

[Ocelot II]

37. You never know...

[Fil1957]

39. Yes, you never know -- one can always hope, but don't count on it.

[Bluestocking]

32. Sorry I am tired of being disappointed

We all know he will survive the trip

[ChicagoTeamster]

33. Maybe that's what JD and the Project 2025 crowd are counting on.

[OldBaldy1701E]

82. Bingo!

What better way to precipitate a full on war with China than to have a president perish while visiting the country.

They will claim assassination, they will claim machinations and they will start a war that will run for decades because the people who are making billions want to keep on making billions. War is the only way to keep that number climbing.

As far as the costs? Well, the rich don't ever suffer consequences, so they won't care.

We could make them care... but we are too far up their asses to do that.

[NNadir]

38. I personally want the champagne to break out whole reading an Orrex...

...celebratory post.

The more risk this horrible person takes with fragile physical health and a blown mind never should be subject to restriction.

[eppur_se_muova]

40. I'm starting to lose my faith in WH doctors. Trmp has had four physicals this year and ....

... they still haven't found anything serious ? Are these guys even trying ?

[PCIntern]

42. Why... he could live to 200!!!

[eppur_se_muova]

44. It's already past 1600 here ! nt

[33taw]

43. I recommend sitting stationary the entire flight.

[a kennedy]

45. I want my free beer from the world famous, and owner of, and running for WI Govenor, Minocqua Brewing Co

[NBachers]

47. If only JV Vance was going along too.

[Joinfortmill]

49. Ah, interesting

[BeneteauBum]

50. That also crossed my mind

And I wonder how effective he can be on the world stage……

Peace ☮️

[bmichaelh]

51. Sicily 2017

In Sicily 2017, G7 meeting, Trump drove a golf cart while the other world leaders walked.

And he is not in better shape since then.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/335424-trump-rode-golf-cart-while-g7-leaders-walked-through-siciliy/

[Unrepentant Fenian]

52. His doctor also said he weighs 220 pounds...

[niyad]

54. Ah, thank you! That cheered me right up!

[AverageOldGuy]

57. Good!!

Let him go. Two advantages of Trump being out of the US.

1. The stress of travel could kill him.
2. He's not awake after midnight tweeting.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

58. .

[Totally Tunsie]

59. For all the travel. especially the flying, he does,

one would think eventually the odds would catch up with him.

Roll those dice!

[Hassler]

60. No doubt aka JD is busy praying the rosary

That it all works out for JD. He offed Francis with an awkward laugh, so who knows.

[Faux pas]

62. Thank 😊 you

for some possibly GOOD NEWS

[Ilsa]

63. Maybe it's finally time to chill a small bottle of champagne.

Thanks for the potentially good news.

[Totally Tunsie]

72. I've had two bottles chilling since the election.

Ready at any time!

[niyad]

76. My friends and I all keep bubbly on chill for that longed-for moment.

It is important to be prepared!

[GenThePerservering]

64. Relax, people

No magic wand. Dump isn't going anywhere. We have to deal with him.

[BigmanPigman]

66. My mother told me three people she knows got very sick

for several weeks recently after they flew on a plane to CA from the East Coast. What's up with that? Has anyone else noticed this?

On the bright side, hopefully the fucking moron will get sick and die. Hope springs eternal!

[FakeNoose]

94. There's no circulation of "fresh" air on an airplane

It gets filtered if the system is working properly, but everyone is breathing the same air for the entire time you're on the plane. The longer the flight, the more time everyone breathes the same air. You can wear a mask if you want to, but it probably won't matter much.

[BigmanPigman]

98. How come masks won't help much?

I suggested that my niece wear one when she heads to Europe for her wedding. She already got sick twice from flying just in the last two months.

[Hope22]

67. Maybe it's one way!

We can hope!

[D_Master81]

69. Don't get people's hopes up

You can’t be posting stuff getting people’s hopes up now

[Orrex]

70. The reduced air pressure will probably help with his swelling.

As such, he should ride on the outside of the jet.

[niyad]

77. Like mitt romney's dog on the family car.

[carpetbagger]

78. Air Force One would make a perfectly good nursing home.

He should do ok, everything he'd need is on the plane, and he can play a round of golf-cart golf without oxygen, so the cabin pressure, even if it's a standard airline pressure, shouldn't bother him.

I'm assuming he's got CHF, some medical problems we don't know about, and that while he's slowly declining cognitively, his two main problems are that he does have narcissistic personality disorder, and the other is that he gets constantly rewarded by his followers for his dysfunction. It's on us, the American electorate who put him there twice.

[MiHale]

81. I hope he'll be ok.../s

[Swede]

83. SSSHHHHH!!!!

[AllyCat]

85. A local "pool" I'm aware of has tomorrow as the first

Bet. 🤞

[onenote]

86. The thing is that none of us "know"

Folks have been speculating on Trump's health -- and predicting his imminent demise -- for nearly ten years. Some of the predictions cite doctors who allegedly are experts, such as the one quoting an anonymous (always anonymous) "certified medical professional with 14 years experience" who declared in early December that Trump would be dead in 3-5 months.

[PCIntern]

87. I don't know anything

But I know a progression when I see one.

The Physical therapist you’re referring to has been correct in all regards except timing which is always highly variable. The funny thing is that this guy has good genes, but has insured an early demise by lifestyle.

There may also be a tertiary STD issue here.

[ihaveaquestion]

91. Personally, I heartily endorse his brave temptation of fate in taking this trip...

May the minions of hell look upon his traveling with baited breath and fling against him everything in their power.

Minions - you all listening out there?

[Sanity Claws]

92. May Barry the bloodclot grow and travel!

[FakeNoose]

93. I think that's the reason Melania stayed home

She's trying on her black outfits ... matching dress, shoes and hat with veil!

[Moostache]

96. Good....maybe we can make it a recurring event. (n/t)
