Of course he has to stick it to Hillary.

Now it's time for our newly-awakened press to tear his ramblings apart.

I'm 71, and not obese. I find myself becoming winded more easily than before. I'm turning into an old man. Oh, well.

Donald J. Trump is coming up against his physical limits. Not surprising, I think.

Lots of men are like that. That "doctor" who wrote that silly report probably doesn't really know Trump's health issues very well. Trump seems to me like someone who only sees a physician when he's afraid something really bad is wrong. Otherwise, he skips it.

Because it's marvelous, let me tell you, the most fantastic body ever, bigly.

So yeah, I can see him avoiding doctors who are going to tell him to lose weight, stop eating fast food, take blood pressure meds....

He could end up a self-correcting problem for the nation.

about congestive heart failure if COPD isn't likely.

We never did get any medical history on him.

That would be like watching a reality TV show about music for advice on how to be a successful musician.

A steady diet of Big Macs and KFC can wreak havoc on an already less-than-stellar physique.

It's a fairly common ailment where the optic nerve becomes crossed with the anal sphincter and the patient develops a shitty outlook on the world.

Petals are wilting, a few drop. Even the healthiest 70 yr old is still 70.
