Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, October 03, 2024

Just over a month from an election that could make Mr. Trump, 78, the oldest person ever to serve as president (82 years, 7 months and 6 days when his term would end in January 2029), he is refusing to release even the most basic information about his health.

He's a genius who refuses to release his education records.

He's the most healthy president ever who refuses to release his medical records.

He's a billionaire who refuses to release his taxes.

My father used to tell me "An honest man doesn't have to tell you he is honest. A brave man doesn't have to tell you he is brave. A smart man doesn't have to tell you he is smart. A lion doesn't have to tell you he's is a lion. When someone is telling you how great they are, rest assured they are not all that great."

This fits Dotardo to a T.

What's the difference between Donald Trump and the Hindenburg?

One is a flaming Nazi gas and the other is a blimp.

Seriously, how many people have any of us known who felt compelled to tell, tell, tell, tell you how smart they are? What a great body they have? How their genes soar? How long an uncle served on a university's faculty? And on and on and on and on. They're the self-absorbed bores you avoid like the plague, whether you're at a state dinner on Easter Island or nestled in a bar out in Mora, New Mexico. At Trump's age, a slight amendment: a self-absorbed, addled bore. NIXON's dad at #2 had it right.

Trump's health is so bad, he had to pay off a doctor to lie about him by giving him a congressional seat.

And can be released if the patient allows.

Why won't Trump allow it? Is it for the same reason he won't allow his grades to become public?

All medical doctors are amazed how quickly Trump recovered from that 2cm bullet hole his doctor reported on the condition of that ear after being shot. No medical records or photos of the wound. All attending emergency personnel forced to sign non disclosure forms too. It's a miracle they say. His ear looks like nothing ever happened. God almighty. He's the chosen one for sure!

Isn't it odd that Ivana his first trophy wife from communist Chechoslovakia who told the world that Trump raped her and disclosed he read Hitler speeches bedside suddenly died from a mysterious fall down stairs, like many Russian oligarchs who crossed Putin have, the one day her housekeeper/caregiver wasn't with her? Isn't it odd that she is buried at a Trump golf course with overgrown weeds covering her unkempt grave....? Weird.

Incorrect.

Medical records can't be released with identifying information by anyone other than the patient or someone with permission from the patient.

HIPAA is a massively misunderstood law that's cited quite frequently by those who don't understand it.

Biden had a bad debate night in the same debate Trump had a bad debate night.

The focus was on Biden afterward. Trump got a pass.

Then Trump had another bad debate night.

By MAGA criteria, Trump is twice as mentally impaired and twice as unfit as Trump.

Here's some other things that Trump promised but hasn't delivered:
his infrastructure plan
his plan for boosting growth to 4% per year
the research that backs up his claim that hydroxychloroquine protects against covid
his plan for elimination of the federal deficit
his plan for how to make Mexico will pay for the border wall
the special prosecutor he pledged he'd appoint to lock up Hillary Clinton
his plan for brining an end to Kim Jon Un's nuclear program
his plan for how to enact term limits for congress
his plan for protecting the American steel industry
the better climate deal he promised he'd deliver after attempting to withdraw the US from the Paris climate accord
the lawsuits against the many women who have accused him of sexual assault
his plan for how the government will remove all undocumented immigrants
his plan for ending birthright citizenship
his plan for enacting congressional term limits
whatever magical thing it is that will make covid disappear
------- for Melania and Ivanka

So you're saying that when Ronny Johnson told reporters that he treated sh*tlers 2 cm hole in his ear that that he violated the law?

HIPAA makes it illegal for a medical provider to release medical information without authorization. There is nothing that prevents dotard from releasing his own medical records other than he is a lying piece of feldergarb.

They are ptotected by law so they can't be released without the peson's consent but Trunp could release them whenever he wants but, apparently, he doesn't want to. So, what do you think he's hiding?

Dark Brandon is at large this week and this is what you have to say?

Biden had a bad debate, contemporaneous with Trump having a bad debate.

Biden handled that bad debate by invoking Dark Brandon and getting behind Harris.

Trump reacted to his (two) bad debates by engaging in a seemingly endless stream of truly insane public presentations.

If Trump is elected, how long until JD takes over? The man is ambitious. He won't wait six months.

When Trump's medical records are finally revealed, there's every chance we'll find a neurological disorder.

Congratulations! You win the Pointless Comment Award of the day for stating the obvious!

Yes, medical records are confidential. FDT told CBS that he would gladly release his medical records to the public. He will not. He is a liar, and is hiding his advancing dementia and poor health from the American people because he is unfit for office. He refuses to release his taxes to the public because he is a business fraud and a liar. He refuses to release his plans for medical coverage because he does not have one (he is a liar). He even lies about his agenda, Project 2025.

It is perfectly reasonable to ask questions about his health and mental fitness. You can stop pretending to be honest, we know you are not.

Here's the bottom line. He says he will do something, and then doesn't do it. This seems to be his MO on just about everything he does. He has 2 choices, either say nothing about what he is going to do or simply tell people, "I know I should do this stuff but I don't want to." It's like if he's not lying about something, he would have nothing to say.
