Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Thursday that he takes a higher dose of aspirin than his doctors have recommended, blaming that for the visible hand bruises that have generated renewed questions about his health.
The interview appeared to be one of the most extensive conservations Trump has had with journalists on his health, as scrutiny has intensified this year over his age, fitness for office and whether he’s being sufficiently transparent with his medical information.
Trump has long had bruising on his right hand, which CNN has reported predated his return to the White House. But it drew more attention after he began trying to cover it with heavy makeup and bandages and shield it from cameras with his other hand. Observers have also raised concerns about swelling in his legs and his appearing to doze during public events.
Unironically, probably yes.
He would still be shit, but worse than or even equal to Trump is pretty hard to imagine.
In any case, I refuse to place any value on the life of a tyrant over speculation on the next tyrant in line. May they all die as early as possible - and may the rest of us actually grow a spine and finally break out the guillotines to speed things along.
