GOP Senator's Health Reveal Proves Trump, 79, Can't Hide Much Longer

Maine Senator Susan Collins’ re-election chances appear to be on shaky ground—the 73-year-old is trailing her Democratic opponent Graham Platner in current polls by as much as nine points.

And the race, as well as broader conversations about gerontocracy in government, has brought to the forefront the fact that Collins has been shaking, literally, for decades. Her voice. Her hands. Her posture.

It has all become impossible to ignore.

So this week, Collins addressed her diagnosis—a benign essential tremor—with a local news outlet, noting that she has had the condition for years and asserting that it has no impact on her job. Still, the tremor wasn’t a secret she chose to reveal. It was dragged into the open by reporting on a viral campaign ad, the kind of commentary and exposure that made denial not just implausible, embarrassing and impossible.

It's readily apparent Trump's already two cents short of a happy meal.
