Trump's turning 80. He's 'not happy' about it

It's his birthday and he'll ignore it if he wants to.

President Donald Trump is not happy he's turning the big 8-0.

Just three days before he starts his ninth decade on June 14, the president confessed something:

"You don't have to wish me happy birthday because I'm not happy about that birthday that I'm having," Trump said. "That's a number that I never thought really too much about. It's not a number I like, but I'm here, nevertheless."

I'm not happy either. He should've been dead already.

Can't tell you how delighted I am that he's unhappy about this birthday, despite all the taxpayer money he's spending on celebrating himself.

It beats the alternative but it doesn’t make it suck less.

There’s no substitute for youth.

Can’t disagree with him on this.

I always wondered what she meant until I knew what she meant. By the time you acquire any useful wisdom just about all that youthful vitality is gone. Just about everyone is an idiot as a kid. If we knew then what we know now, the world would be a much different place.

And regrets…..I’ve had a few…..

At 40, I could no longer think of myself as a young man, and by 45, my 20/20 vision started to go and by 48 I needed to wear glasses to read or see anything within arm's length - which I really hated - and it's been pretty much slowly but steadily downhill from there.

Problem is he wakes up long enough to say say something stupid usually the same thing he said before he went to sleep.

As for wishing him a happy birthday, he doesn't have to worry about it; I wasn't planning to.

What will make me happy is to see him in handcuffs being perp walked out of the White House by big strong burly men with tears in their eyes from laughing so hard high-fiving each other.

A girl can dream, can't she?

Bones broke easier, my balance was less sure, my energy level dropped. I do have chronic kidney problems, and I think Trump does, too. His balance has been unsure for a long time. He lacks the energy to lift his legs up, so he can’t walk a straight leg be. That’s why he wants to hold hands with Melania, for physical support. His legs have been swelling a lot, too. His soda drinks are probably his 8 glasses of liquid a day to wash out waste that his kidneys can’t handle, but that soda is waste in itself. He’s bruising very easily from his aging skin and the drugs he’s taking. Might he be on a home dialysis regime now, being indisposed to the media/public for four hours? I think needles are placed in his hands for 4 hrs, 3 times a week.

All these attempts at self-adulation to me means his narcissism is self-prepping for his eventual death.

It means he is still there. On the other hand, a President Vance wouldn't exactly thrill the hell out of me, either.

The unstable moron with every thing in the world is filled with self-pity, which shows he hasn’t got the one thing he really needs: imagination.
