Just Say It: Trump is Unwell

Wednesday, May 20, 2026

The president is aging. He's wearing hand makeup. Why aren't Democrats making a bigger deal of his health?

NEW: The Newest Oldest President Donald Trump has not faced the same scrutiny for his age as Joe Biden did. For now. But as Trump is poised to turn 80 next month, questions about his health and increasingly erratic behavior are growing www.theatlantic.com/politics/202 ...

Joe Biden is more coherent now than Mango Mussolini was in 2016.

"Unwell" is a an amazing understatement, physically and mentally.

The man needs to die before he kills more of us.

Because the Democrats can't message their way out of a paper bag?

If the Democrats could actually do anything, they should and would have started a long time ago.

Fish rot from the head down. Not until the blood stops flowing to Trump's brain will we know what happens next.

But for complete absence of morals or conscience, no one can replace Trump. It would be hard to even try.

Where will all the people who came out to vote in 2008 who'd never voted before (but do so now) go without Trump's shadow?

Because they're the Democrats. We couldn't have a worse opposition party with worse leadership than the Democrats.

You will never get a deplorable Trumping MAGAt to admit Trump's unwell.

Democrats are owned by the same people who own the Republicans.

But get a bigger return on investment from Republicans.

Because republicans aren't under any pretense to pretend they care about America or Americans.

"I don't give a fuck about Americans."

I have seen that kind of bruise on friends who were on blood thinners.

Senate Democrats had a chance to kibbosh an election denier from becoming a USDJ.

They confirmed the MAGAt.

Who among the Dems is going to put forth that message? Chuck Schumer, he with the paunch and cheaters at the end of his nose? Some other person in office since the days of dial phones? The message has to come from some younger, more robust person. I am surprised Gov. Newsom hasn't taken up the cause...

I miss dial phones. Those whirs and clicks.

Sensual.

Progressives.

Unfortunately republicans have turned the term "progressive" into something Americans hate.

Because the rich prefer spending our tax dollars on themselves.

Dummkopf Trumpf addressed the USCG Academy graduating class and said he may seek a third term.
