White House admits the guy's not healthy. How unhealthy? [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

In an unprecedented move a few days ago, Leavitt, tRump’s press secretary, announced that tRump is suffering from CVI (chronic veinous insufficiency). That explains the swollen ankles.

The bruising on his hands, they say, is caused by the aspirin and lots of hand-shaking. But tRump hates to shake hands. That explanation seems unreasonable.

Now, I believe no White House is completely honest about the president’s health. But, as we know, the tRump toadies have gone further than most. We have heard claims of his being in such good health that he could make it to be 200. We have had claims of his being 6’3”, when in pictures he is obviously shorter than those who are also 6’3” (or shorter).

So admitting anything is unusual.

Admitting anything is probably the tip of the iceberg. There’s probably much, much more beneath the surface.

Rick Wilson goes much further. In his most recent episode of The Elephant in the Room, he asks if tRump is dying.

More below the fold:

Here’s the youtube video:

Don’t want to listen? Here are some of the points in the video (with paraphrasing, I am not exact):

Mentions how tRump is dying politically, also cognitively, but that this recording is not about that. Instead, Wilson asks if tRump is dying physically.

Talks about how he talked to 3 doctors. Now the doctors would not definitively diagnose from afar, but the swollen ankles are edema. It’s a sign of the heart not managing to get the blood back up the body. Possible reasons: renal failure and congestive heart failure are two possibilities.

Talks about the bruising on the hand, and how insane it is to say that it was caused by the many hands tRump shakes, as the guy is a germaphobe who does not shake hands.

Unusual for the WH to admit this — and all they admitted was the CVI — as tRump’s vanity usually insists on fantastic medical reports. Why now? Could this be an off-ramp in case tRump needs to resign? Resigning for medical reasons is much easier on the ego than admitting you’re incompetent.

Or maybe something much more serious is going on. After all, death comes for us all.

Warns any doctor who does a medical report on tRump to tell the truth as the doctor’s report will certainly be cited in any autopsy report (my opinion, this won’t happen, as tRump’s people will choose the doctor).

Wilson notes he could be wrong — America has been unlucky before — and this guy could make it to 97.

Also, Wilson, in a segment not relevant to the other subject, also talks about Marco Rubio and what an awful human being he is.

We know White Houses lie about the health of presidents. We know that tRump’s WH lies much, much more than most. But, because we have eyes, there are things we know:

From recent observation:

x Rick Wilson mentioned this today and showed a pic of makeup on the back of T’s hands. There is no question, NONE, that those are bruises from an IV. I’m looking at one on my right hand now. I was just trying to calculate how many I’ve had there over the last 30 years. Hundreds, maybe. — StL Progressive (@stlprogressive.bsky.social) 2025-07-18T22:52:09.210Z

The same, but with the pictures, especially of the bruising on the hand. I learned the word “thankle”.

Here are more data points:

Genetics play a role. Three of the felon’s siblings — both his brothers and one of his sisters — have already died.

The felon’s father suffered from Alzheimer’s for many years

The felon’s diet has been terrible for many years.

The felon’s main exercise is getting in and out of a golf cart.

tRump continues to talk about passing cognitive tests, even when he messes up what he is talking about. And dementia and physical decline are often linked.

Possible examples of cognitive decline (so many, but these are recent):

x Cognitive decline, or does he lie so much he can’t keep it straight? Trump in 2025: “He’s a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed.” Trump in 2017: “It is my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.” — Christopher Webb (@cwebbonline.com) 2025-07-17T16:03:11.321Z

x Trump spun a bogus tale that his uncle taught the Unabomber at MIT, despite Uncle John dying years before Kaczynski’s arrest and the bomber never attending that school, underscoring alarming memory lapses and cognitive decline. www.dailykos.com/sto...? — tomwellborn3rd (@patriotprogressive.bsky.social) 2025-07-17T18:10:34.000Z

More observations? More speculation? Please post in the comments.

🐦 I do a lot of other writing. Newest offerings: Messing with the Myths — two books so far in this series. Older offerings: the Crow Nickels (chronicles), about crows who want to save birdkind from extinction (Hunters of the Feather). Mysteries based on Jane Austen’s novels, such as The Meryton Murders. Others based on history and Greek mythology, e.g., Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus. All titles also available through Kindle Unlimited. Want to support me but not interested in my books? Buy one and donate to a library.
