Trump is not going to make it through this trial [View all]

Ive been saying this since last week. He’s an unhealthy old man. And he’s mentally unstable. He’s looking worse every day and it’s just started. He cancelled his NC rally this weekend to rest. Sitting there for hours a day not in control is killing him.

He’s either going to have a real health crisis that will suspend the trial or he’s going to fake one. This is supposed to go on for 6 weeks, no way he makes it through a couple weeks of this. It’s torture for him physically and psychologically. If he’s soiling his diapers daily without changing he’ll get an infection.

The media is starting to pick up on this now too. He looked and moved like a broken man today.
