Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)

The piece doesn't directly address what's going on with Trump's black hand, but says he has delicate skin that causes him to bleed constantly "Trump said he applies makeup to his hands after he gets 'whacked again by someone ... I have makeup that’s easy to put on, takes about 10 seconds.'" (3/6)

This article summarizes it pretty well and lists the medications they say he's on, as well as the venous insufficiency he says is why his hands are bruised... bsky.app/profile/the-...
Trump speaks out about his health - and the doctor’s advice he’s ignoring
He does the weave. Friends of mine that are, like, geriatric psychologists, they say it's the saddest thing I've ever seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrZX...
Consider who owns the WSJ, who trusts it & how research proves ppl believe what's repeated--especially by a trusted source. You don't believe the bs, bc you don't trust WSJ. But many fools do trust it. Humans are easy to con. See @mkonnikova's The Confidence Game. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusor...
Trump has been almost omnipresent in his second term, fielding questions from journalists sometimes several times a day, delivering impromptu remarks and regularly hosting dinners at the White House. Trump veers from topic to topic in his lengthy public statements, and sometimes makes factual errors
Please let Trump eat as much fast as he can consume. All the time if he wants. Trump clearly knows best. @aoc.bsky.social @whitehouse-47.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social
I’ve heard that people have issues with alcoholics or heavy smokers getting organ transplants and other expensive and difficult treatments while not making any effort to mitigate the issues causing their health problems. Should he receive great medical care to try to overcome his horrible self care?
I plugged Big Mac, Quarter Pounder (cheese removed), and Filet-o-Fish along with a small fries into the McDonald's nutrition tool, and this is what it gave me www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/abo...
A single Filet-o-Fish contains: - 15% of the recommended adult allowance of cholesterol - 19% of saturated fat but no trans fat. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filet-O...
They made one for Hegseth, too. youtu.be/uOyjzE1vcD4?...
This was less than he normally eats. He usually goes for the full 80’s commercial list, but he left the “icy Coke thick shakes, sundaes and apple pies” for his midnight tweeting frenzy. youtu.be/Dc-eNtAyH8k?...
