    The conspiracy theory going around is that when she removes her cross necklace , she’s aware she’s lying…

    Most of us know she’s lying because her mouth is open, however.

    Is this the first time we’ve received REAL data about Trump’s health since he took office in 2016? I didn’t think this administration was capable of truth, even by accident.

      That’s how desperate they are to get people talking about anything but Epstein. Unless Trump keels over dead don’t fall for it, keep pushing on the Epstein connection.

        Hell, even if he dies. Children aren’t the only people he’s in bed with and they all deserve to get brought down as well.

    You know he’s seriously worried about the Epstein stuff if he’s announcing a health issue. Normally he’s far too vain to admit even the slightest of health problems.

      While that’s one part, they had to say something because of that picture of his legs.

      CVI can cause swelling like that and is sort of treatable, but at his age another common cause of that ankle edema is late stage heart failure. As in “probably wouldn’t last term” late stage. And that rumour spreading would cause him major issues, like people spending more money on Vance than him.

        Congestive Heart Failure is super scary, but survivable. Shit, I did it. In my case it was caused by an irregular heart beat following open heart surgery.

        My fluid retention was all in my chest though, not my legs. I couldn’t lay down because it felt like I was drowning. (Because, thanks to the fluid, I was drowning.)

        They pulled 4 liters of fluid off me every day for 7 days, then ran an electrocardioversion to fix the heart beat.

        For those at home:

        4 liters of fluid:

        Electrocardioversion:

    Not good enough.

    Though I hope this causes a lot of discomfort. Hope he can’t wander too far from Pedo-Lardo so as to not further embarrass this country, humans, and this planet…
