Walter Reed doctors asked the president to come in so they and their colleagues could try to understand how he’s in such amazing shape. He’s the most healthy specimen that they’ve seen and many people are saying so. He’s agreed to go because he wants to give the people the benefit of his rigor and strength. In a statement trump said, “They want to know how I do it. Who can blame them. I hear it all the time. ‘Sir, how do you manage to thrive like this? Sir, can we have some of it? And I say, ‘sure I guess’. Who am I to keep it all here? I mean I could, it’s my right as president. Some say I, you know many people are saying- I guess they call it ‘lonn gev itee’. I call it dongevity. Dongevity, can you believe it? Anyway, it’s what the people want.”
The doctors don't want Trump to come in so they can study him; they want him to come so he can TEACH them.
Trump is smarter than all those eggheads, and knows more about sciencey stuff, too.
His uncle did do the nuclear...
Well I'm just glad someone did.
The sad thing is that I can actually imagine KKKaroline Leavitt saying that to the press.
I hear he was born under a double rainbow and shot 11 holes-in-one on a single round of golf.
11 holes-in-one? I heard it was 21 holes-in-one on an 18 hole course.
MacDonald’s and assorted amphetamines.
Well it’s certainly felt like more than a year since then.
The past 8 or 9 months has been the longest decade of my life.
Started the year with one grey beard hair. I'm up to like 10 now. I'm not physically aging that fast!
His detractors don’t get it. The doctors just called him back for his second once a year exam to admire him. Trump is in unbelievably good health.
It’s Trump’s business acumen showing again. He gets his yearly checkups each calendar and each fiscal year.
Saying this is a check up is a cover story. The doctors obviously called him in to consult on a particularly tough case.
Yes, these are jokes. I hope president pudding brain remains cognizant enough to see all he built crumble, see his reputation ruined, his criminal enterprise dismantled, see his children jailed, to realize that he’s going to die before his political and criminal enemies, and that it all unfolds exceedingly quickly. Not all hopes are rational or possible, but I’ll accept any part of the above.
Every time I see any kind of official federal government announcement, I imagine it's being delivered by this lady:
Don't get too excited, very possible Trump just can't count.
not "possible", that is certain

Trump Spoke Of 600%, 1000% And 1500% Reductions in Drug Prices
Trump mentioned those, umm, interesting percentages in a July reception with members of Congress, when he declared, “This is something that nobody else can do. We’re gonna get the drug prices down. Not 30 or 40% which would be great, not 50 or 60, no. We’re gonna get ‘em down 1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1,500%.” You can see him saying this in a video that’s posted on what used to be Twitter:
He needs new boner pills for his underaged girlfriend
What’s the spread? Fall of American democracy or death of Trump, which comes first? Seems neck and neck at the moment. I assume Draft kings has that bet set somewhere.
I mean, if you're going to bet on one, you're going to bet on his death. Not because it's necessarily more likely, but because the value of the dollar is going to tank on the fall of democracy and might even go up a bit after his death.
How confident are you in the US currently being a democracy?
My determination is if we are aloud to vote for a president in 2028, we at least have the appearance of a democracy. That would be the nail in the coffin.
Putin still allows voting. Doesn’t seem to help.
Well, we don't shout anymore.
We don't push, either, as it's a quick thing and it's a little impolite. But our case - Canada - is different as we're still walking to some gym or hall, standing in the 10-min queue, marking paper ballots with pencil, and getting it all done in a day.
I mean, not like it used to be or should be. But elections aren't actually cancelled yet. Though they becoming increasingly predetermined with the flood gates being opened for blatant partisan gerrymandering and soon, likely, the neutering of the Voting Rights Act, so... not exactly long for this world.
Also this XD
Pocahontas. Damn. Yeah I see that as a possibility.
Anyone have the number for those Etsy witches?
Here's hoping it's good news.
AKA his imminent demise
Long painful death in veggie state.
Fuck that, he should be fully conscious
Yeah, maybe mentally to see and hear and feel pain, but non-verbal and non-moving.
Locked-In Syndrome
The only downside is that Trumpie would be at the mercy of who ever is giving him information. Chances are they will tell Trumpie that everything is fine.
Yeah, just saw this on Brilliant Minds
They figured out how to remove Steven Miller's hand stuck up his ass puppeting him?
Well, it turns out Trump has become too goey to puppet, so they're putting Miller on camera
Steve Miller is not good on camera
Doctors could easily come to him. This is something more serious.
Dare I say the C word? Ok, I'll say it... He's a Cunt.
Also, I hope it's cancer. Inoperable cancer that will take years to kill him.
Many, many excruciating and agonising years. Long enough for him to see his cronies and children imprisoned for their crimes.
(Probably never happen, but i can dream)
I want him to stroke out and be left as a locked in vegetable with the tv on 24/7 so he can watch as his empire of idiots falls. I hope he survives like this for decades. Unable to talk, move, eat.
However, I'll take what I can get.
edit typo
Fingers crossed.
Wishing him the worst 🙏
Im hoping it was a stroke.
Still have no clue why this complete idiot (convicted) can do whatever he wants to do. For me this pukestain must be detained as soon as possible. (But clearly the American people are still confused, overwhelmed, stunned and incapable to stand up as a nation)....
I don't trust Americans anymore. {full stop}
He can do what he wants because he is, at least on paper, obscenely wealthy, and that provides the best protection from consequences in the world. Pair that with largely compliant judiciary and legislature branches, and suddenly his random rich person bullshit becomes codified as the King's Law. It's all fucked, dude.
I hope he leaves with a horrible case of MRSA
Make Romania Socialist Again? Weird take...
Go celebrate your "good health" with a few hamburgers and extra large fries... Extra mayo.
I guess dementia really is kicking in when you can't remember the year you're in any more.
They will be lying through their teeth again. Heck, they did not even get basic parameters like height right last time.
harm reduction doctors!
He must need to get cleared to fly to another country
