Trump showing signs he’s battling major medical crisis, Democrat claims
Donald Trump’s tiredness, recent MRI and hand bruise suggest he may be taking medication to treat Alzheimer’s disease, according to a “curious” California Democrat.
Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., tweeted that Trump is showing signs he’s taking the Alzheimer’s disease drug Leqembi.
“The Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi:- Is administered through an infusion (for example, through the hand)- Can cause swelling, bleeding, or fluid leakage in the brain, requiring regular MRIs- Can cause tiredness,” Kamlager-Dove tweeted along with a picture of Trump’s hand bruise. “Curious.”

Dude will be 80 next year, the idea that he's not somehow having major medical issues would be bizarre.
I'd love for a reporter to ask "So how's the Leqembi treatment going?" and watch him either a) explode or b) Go on at length how it's an amazing drug and he never felt better.
He's 80 and he has a very long and public history of making terrible health choices
I hear his blood type is McShit.
I heard his blood type is ranch dressing
Special sauce
I heard that his blood type is xenophobia.
He probably shits blood.
Uh... good...?
Both my parents were in rude good health at 80. Not everyone's feeble at that age. Then again, unlike Trump, both parents were following exercise and weight-training programs, not eating fast food, and showed no signs of cognitive decline.
He's too stupid to know what it means, so he'd just insult the reporter and change the subject. Or assume it had something to do with his leg.
He'll have to call them "piggy" a few times in the process, either way.

They kept Cheney alive without a functioning heart. No way he goes out from something unless it is catastrophic.
Big difference in keeping a brain alive with intensive heart remediations vs keeping a brain alive that's intent on dying from the inside. Ain't no stopping those amyloid prions after they reach a critical concentration.
Yes but that's why he drinks the blood of the young also.
That's not what this shitstain does with the young ones...
Not the only thing at least.
Yeah but it's not like he actually uses his brain anyway...
The prions might make a better president
Make Trump's brain great again
Did he really ever have a heart though?
His cardiologist thinks so, Also Eminem.
No, a portable heart.
I'm very passionate about the unholy nature of the Cheney's.
No he’s not. He is a god. And a pedophile. And a rapist. But a god. Look at his orange manly non makeup wearing self. 8’9” tall. -7% body fat. The energy of 1884 12 year olds….not the ones he raped. This man deserves a made up peace prize from one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet.
Is nobel pretty corrupt?
They’re talking about the “Peace Prize” that FIFA gave him this week.

I saw that and assumed it was an onion headline...
Unfortunately, NotTheOnion.
Ohhh. So that's why Trump wants to rename the NFL
I hate that this asshole has any influence on culture at all. Dude just cannot stay in his lane, and so many people bow to this fuckface.
I don't even watch the NFL and don't care about sportsball at all and this annoys me. It's probably just the fact that one of the most pampered and idiotic and unqualified person on the planet is putting his fingerprint on everything.
Remember when the Republicans wouldn't shut up about their theory that the Biden administration was covering up Bidens supposed health problems? You know, exactly like they're doing for Trump now?
Every complaint is projection. They're terrified of being called out on their bullshit, but simultaneously forgetful of the evil things they said during any democratic president's term.
Jake Tapper and his stupid book all but poured accelerant on their claims earlier this year. And look who is oddly quiet now....
I mean, they weren't wrong. Biden lost his cognitive faculties big time. Trump clearly is not healthy, also.
Oh, I do hope it's serious
Hope he fucks off this mortal coil soon. Wakes up dead one morning type thing. As is common for octogenarians.
What's wrong with months of pain, fear and helplessness first? If anyone deserves that, it's Trump.
What's wrong is that he can still cause harm while that's happening.
I almost guarantee Stephen Miller or someone is going to Weekend at Bernie's some horrendous shit through before trump's death is publicly announced.
Then we'll get a 6-3 supreme court decision saying it's ok.
True!
How do you wake up dead?
How in the hell do you wake up dead?
Nobody was getting it 😭😔
I got it, buddy. I got it. I got the 22 year old reference... oh lord.
People just die in their sleep
But if you died while you were asleep how do you wake up
When he dies they will replace him with AI and the Supreme Court will rule it constitutional.
That AI has a name, it's Grok.
Supreme court demands AI present its case at hearing
AI speaks incomprehensible gibberish.
Supreme court: it even sounds exactly like Trump, it's clearly Trump. Approved!
Nah LLMs can at least do grammar, the sum of the text may be nonsense but the induvidual sentences tend to be pretty perfect. We don't yet have the technology to re-create covfefe.
You can ask an AI to speak in other ways, and make up words along the way.
Seems simple enough.
I believe it. You heard it here, folks!
That thumbnail is nauseating. It's like a wrinkly suede women's glove smeared with the "cheese" powder from a box of mac and cheese.
I thought it was a misshaped pig’s hoof.
But then it turned out to be just that.
Well I hope the illness gets on with it and he dies already
He will last another 6 - 10 years. That fat fuck has health care not even a billionaire can dream of. Miller and the rest will prop him up ala Weekend At Bernie's, but he will be just cognizant enough to ramble through a speech and sign an order.
Only the good die young, only evil seems to live forever.
I'm pretty sure that the main purpose of the tesla androids is to use one to stuff Trump's carcass with.

Information about the treatment. It actually seems to line up. Infusions at two week intervals. Routine MRI’s.
I honestly think he was diagnosed with dementia all the way back around the "man woman person camera tv" incident.
When someone has a neuropsych eval, it's never just ONE test, it's a set of several. Another very common one is the clock drawing test, which can be highly indicative of alzheimers or other forms of dementia.
The simple fact that he wasn't also crowing about drawing the best clock anyone ever saw makes me think that one did not go well.
The newer generations would fail this, haha.
This is probably a clickbait site but for reference

"There has to be some trick to it" is craaaazy
I still wonder what kind of experimental medications/treatments he was given when he got Covid during his first term.
So that's why he agrees with whoever he spoke to.
Mayb if democrats spend half of their time actually working on their agendas and topics we wouldnt need to hope for trunp to be serverly ill.
Don’t be misled, the d’s don’t actually want to improve the lives of Americans. They just say that they do. Ie: Bernie 2016
I think it is more that the propaganda works, and the U.S. as a whole is further right than Bernie do to it.
I mean shit, Trump just won an election by telling the people he wants to raise taxes, and the propaganda convinced half the nation that he wanted to lower taxes.
Not 1 Republican voter was saying they wanted taxes higher, but so many of them were tricked into thinking he was lowering them.
The rest of the population is also affected, just to other degrees
Propaganda or racism/sexism/xenophobia etc? The propaganda supports those ideologies, and people value that over their best self interest.
'There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.'
Dude's 79. Waking up and getting out of bed is a major medical crisis.
My great granddad lived to 93 in his own home, fully independent until his ticker gave out. 79 doesn't have to be frail and feebleminded. Of course there's the genetic component but living an active, rewarding life does wonders.
I’d think it’s more than just being older. It’s the fact he treated himself like shit. I’m surprised he even made it this long, I think the average age for a McDonald’s face stuffer is much younger than this. Like late 60s for the heart to give out.
Best of luck to the crisis!
Trump is the symptom, not the illness.
They're propping him up like they did Biden.
From what I remember it wasn't even proven this drug works. There were some data suggesting it might have some positive effects and since there is no known treatment for Alzheimer's it was approved to "give patients a chance".
I work with the Alzheimer's drugs somewhat frequently, and there are ~15 patients I know of on Leqembi specifically. It's not meant to reverse or stop anything, but rather slow progression -- which for Alzheimer's can be a miracle. You're not going to get on the med or even be evaluated for Alzheimer's unless you're showing some deficits though, and you absolutely need evidence of plaque build-up.
Yes but I though even evidence that it's slowing anything down was at best very weak?
Also, is there any medicine that makes the patients look more awake/cheerful? It looks like Trump is sleepy and irritated almost all the time but then he suddenly becomes very active and his mood improves like during the Mamdani meeting.
That’s the power of true love my friend.
Plenty of people are already saying this. Especially epistemiccrisis (Instagram), who has made it the entire subject of his account.
His shit is funny though, ngl. I love his posts.
The Majority report have been following this for a few weeks.
Apparently the medication needs to be taken monthly, which would coincide with his monthly "annual" physicals at the hospital.
They've all downloaded period tracker apps to confirm the theory and they predicted his latest visit very effectively.
Also you can see how sharp he is at the start of the cycle vs the end. Once they tell you what day it's on, it's even more obvious how he's going to be handling things.
So the Dr that keeps lying for him will be punished when this all comes out right?
I hope he suffers
It's gonna be hilarious when we find out Trump was right, that the human body does have a fixed amount of energy. All of us idiots that work out and try to eat healthy are gonna die in our 60s. Right before we can spend any of our retirement savings.
Anyone remember the DS9 episode where they killed the Vorta but then fake puppeteered him with neural stimulators?
I actually don't, at all. Sounds like I may be due for a rewatch of the entire show.
Well that's a great sounding plan!
I dedicate this to his health https://youtu.be/-LdYXYNtPJI?t=69
May be
If he's getting infusions that frequently, they'd probably install a port which would be on the chest area and not visible.
There are medical reasons to place an infusion in the hand instead of at the collarbone or wherever.
Infection are a much larger risk the closer it gets to the heart.
Then again presidents have their blood taken at intervals to stock the ambulance in the motorcade and the OR in Air Force One. Which can cause tiredness.
Why on earth would this be true? I can't think of any reason for then having to do this.
In case he experiences trauma and needs a transfusion. The best donor is yourself. Especially if you’re as hyper-paranoid as the USSS.

The first four years of “Trumps dying!” Was stupid, at this point it’s just pathetic.
I couldn't roll my eyes harder at this level of zeroing in on random drugs based on someone getting an IV.
That's a straw man argument, because that is not at all what is happening.
There are several factors, first the visible evidence of IV, then the MRI scans, which are used to monitor the effect of the treatment. Then multiple symptoms Trump is showing, like fatigue and dementia, some also claim Trump has a cycle of fatigue consistent with this treatment, also rumors of repeated cognitive tests, and almost but not quite finally that this is the best treatment that exist for the suspected circumstance, and would very likely be the one chosen for the president, and finally that this treatment was approved by FDA after Trump became president.
So 1. The obvious IV, 2. Multiple MRI, 3.Obvious Symptoms, 4. Cycle, 5. Cognitive tests, 6. Best known treatment, 7. Circumstances surrounding the approval of the treatment.
These are the ones I've picked up even without having great interest in the issue, so there may be more. Of course not all points are equally strong, and it's all circumstantial. But it's false to claim it's just the IV.
Edit: corrected numbering.
We just have to wait for him to accuse Biden of getting the treatment.
That's when we know for sure.
Trump lies all the time, whether he needs to or not. So you can't use obvious lying as a tell: it's always there, regardless of whatever else is going on.
Based on the doctor's letter, my guess is that it wasn't an MRI, but instead some other kind of imaging (say, a CAT scan with a contrast agent) and they were looking for arterial blockages. MRIs aren't good at detecting those-- MRIs need lots of time to create the image, and a beating heart or circulating blood won't show up. CAT scans are faster. Infusion of a contrast agent would also be a reason for the hand bruising.
Source: I'm old, have had both MRIs and CAT scans, and know that medical professionals love sticking a cannula in your hand at any opportunity, the twisted bastards. I've also had a nasty hematoma on the back of my hand after cannula removal, despite having good cardio fitness and not taking blood thinners.
And that's not what I'm doing, I don't give a shit about what the lying toddler spews, but it's not just Trump, it's also memo's from doctors, and white house statements.
Also everybody claims he has had at least 2 extra MRI's this year. Nobody is mentioning any other form of scan that I have seen. AFAIK the MRI thing is a factual confirmed thing at least in 2 recent cases. There are rumors there are more, but those are not confirmed.

Thank you, that's genuinely a helpful distinction to make.
It's not just someone getting an IV. It's the blatant lying when asked about it. Nobody gets a bruise like that by "shaking hands".
