Perusing articles and social media over the years related to the current occupant of the Oval Office, it’s easy to see that much attention has been paid to changing skin color, hair color and style, and wearing adult products that indicate incontinence and to accommodate evidence of physical deterioration. While this may make for ongoing conversation and ridicule of a man who prides himself on his appearance and illusion of heroism, it serves no practical or valuable purpose. I do not nickname.
A big reason I don’t talk about it when I write articles about him is because there are so many other sides to the man that call for attention. Yes, biological and psychological deterioration is becoming abundantly noticeable. Swollen ankles that suggest circulation problems and possible congestive heart failure or venous insufficiency, bruises on his hands, unsteady gait and imbalance when he stands (leaning forward or, in recent photos, standing in a straddling posture) all raise concerns for his health.
At 79, despite what his doctors say, he is not the epitome of a healthy man. Many men his age eat a nutritious diet. He does not like to indulge in fast food. Many men his age still have a fitness routine (my dad did until Parkinson’s interrupted his daily workouts). He doesn’t, just two types of regular exercise that involve walking around a golf course and running his face. The first he does, with taxpayers’ money and the second he does at all hours of the day and night. His late-night indulgences in social media word salad cost him much-needed sleep each night. There is only one danger Sleep deprivation psychosis. Nodding in meetings is likely a direct result.
and his cognitive test That he is “ACED”? To hear him tell it, they were a matter of pride rather than diagnostic tools directed at concerns about cognitive decline.
The words he chooses are intentionally inflammatory and insulting. Most of the media interviews or press conferences he does end up leading to dismissive and insulting comments if the journalist dares to ask him point blank questions, which he doesn’t want to answer. Check out the latest interview with Incomparable Norah O’Donnell 60 Minutes after the alleged assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
When he appeared in the segment of the interview addressing the manifesto written by Cole Allen, Trump’s demeanor changed dramatically. Where earlier he would have exuded bluster and bravado, at this moment, his eyes narrowed and lips pursed. He hissed in response, taking on a snake-like look.
Norah O’Donnell: The so-called manifesto is a stunning read, Mr. President. He seems to have mentioned a purpose in it. He wrote this quote, “Administration officials, they are targets.” And he also wrote, “I am not willing to allow another pedophile, rapist and traitor to cover my hands with his crimes.” What is your response to that?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, I was waiting for you to read because I knew you would be because you’re—you’re he—you’re a horrible person. terrible man Yes, he wrote it. Me- I’m not a bully. I did not rape anyone.
Norah O’Donnell: Oh you think- do you think he’s referring to you?
President Donald Trump: I’m not a pedophile. excuse me excuse me I am not a pedophile. Have you ever read that crap from a sick person? I am attached to everything that I have nothing to do with. I was completely free. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones who were involved with Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, “You know, I’ll give this interview and they probably will”—I read the manifesto. You know, he is a sick person. But you should be ashamed to read this because I am none of those things.
I wonder if he really thinks he never sexually assaulted anyone, that the events were all consensual, or that he believes that the testimony, the victim’s statements, and yet they never happened. Judgment of E. Jean Carroll. Like many pathological liars, he convinced himself that what he said was true. The thing is, every complaint is admitted to him. And like many with narcissistic traits, he couldn’t possibly imagine not wanting the person he wanted.
I was watching the broadcast, curious to hear what nonsense he would say when the interruption occurred. My heart wasn’t beating like it had on 9/11 and J6. This, to me, was an indicator that things were not as they seemed.
I have questions about the unfolding aspects of that night. How did the alleged assailant arrive in DC from California with his arsenal, check into the hotel, rent a room, collect the weapons and have them ready to strike in the lobby? How did he manage to book a room the night before dinner, when it was understood that it would be sold out, unless he did it months in advance? How were so many Secret Service agents so incompetent that he slipped through their fingers? and mixed reports; First he was dead, then subjugated. He then shoots an agent and then calls it ‘friendly fire’. While clearing the dining room, there was a rush to get JD Vance out, but apparently not DJ. Some journalists duck for cover, while others keep eating. I heard that some ran away with bottles of wine and bubbly.
Another pressing question was how was it a good idea to be in line of succession in that room at the same time? I’m no conspiracy theorist, but it boggles the mind how all these things fell into place the way they did and how it’s a conspiracy to give him another platform to talk about his beloved ballroom plans, so why would he choose to show up in a public venue if he didn’t feel it was safe? He then asked to ‘let the show go on’ and let the party resume. If he felt threatened, why would he want to return to the scene of the crime? He determined that the accused was attempted murder because he was consequential and got things done. He claims that the negative rhetoric coming from Dems makes some want to attack him, ignoring the vile and vile things he has said and done.
I shook my head in utter confusion that the madness continued and that every stirring pot of chaos was meant to be a distraction from the Epstein files. Like most people I know, I wonder how the story will end. I know that wounds are hard to heal, if someone attacks and hurts again. I will keep sounding the alarm.
