I just turned on the TV and there is Pres Trump and he is having such a hard time breathing

[Peacetrain]

He really is gasping at times... someone needs to step up and take him to the emergency room right now.. What is wrong with his people.. Yikes

[CrispyQ]

1. Apparently not one person gives one fuck about him.

Surprise, surprise.

[Peacetrain]

5. I am certainly no fan... but good grief.. time for him to step down

his people need to go in there and tell him.. go home.. your done.. go play golf.. what ever it is you want to do.. just go already.. He is not a well man.. that is obvious and he keeps tearing at the very fabric of our alliances.. go home .. for the sake of everyone.. Donald Trump.. go home.. he was weaving getting off the plane yesterday.. he is disconnected from reality.. go home

[CrispyQ]

14. His people are benefiting from all this. And when that's no longer the case, they will walk away.

They are not going to save us. No one is going to save us. Not the republicans or media, for sure, but not even the dems. Our best bet is the November mid-terms, but I don't think democratic leadership is prepared for the chaos the other side plans. I hope local counties, are, though.

[Kid Berwyn]

33. They must know him.

[Ocelot II]

2. Not hard enough, though.

[Blaukraut]

12. Actually he should just stop breathing altogether

Better for him and better for humanity

[Dulcinea]

3. I'd bet my next paycheck he has CHF.

He shows a lot of the symptoms. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17069-heart-failure-understanding-heart-failure

[Peacetrain]

6. Thank you for that link! that would explain all that swelling in his ankles

[Jilly_in_VA]

9. That is pretty obvious to the most junior nursing student

If I were a nursing instructor, I'd be tempted touse him as Exhibit A in my first lecture on CHF. That, however, would get me fired. Once he's dead I would, though.

21. PCIntern pointed out his serious facial edema yesterday.

[TBF]

4. I've been saying this for months -

he belongs in a good memory care facility. His family is trash for not taking care of him (well, that's just one reason they are trash - there are many other reasons also of course). Republican "values".

[GoCubsGo]

19. Only if that memory care facility is inside of ADX Florence.

And, we need to add on an extra wing there to house his trashy family and all of his boot-lickers. The entire lot of them belong locked up for the rest of their miserable, fucking lives, starting with that demented sack of shit.

[moose65]

20. His family??

The same kids who allowed him to bury Ivana on a golf course? They're not going to do anything to help him. In fact, they'll be as relieved as the rest of us when he finally kicks the bucket. Then they can start fighting with each other over the estate.

[flvegan]

7. ER? He scored 3 goals against Egypt yesterday, and would've beat Belgium 17-4

if not for the ketchup card he got (so unfair! - DJT). He's the biggest, strongest, breathe-iest specimen to ever hold the office!

Please, let him continue as-is.

[Hey Joe]

8. No,No,No!!

Never interfere with him when he is having a health crisis!
Just let it run its full, debilitating, fatal (hopefully)
course!
Oh please, please 🙏 please 🙏!!

[Jilly_in_VA]

11. Except

there is no telling what he will do as his mind goes who knows where....there's the danger.

[Tasmanian Devil]

27. Nukes

I'm pretty sure it's always a bad idea to give control of nukes to a terminally ill dementia patient who wonders out loud about getting into heaven.

[Wednesdays]

22. "Never interrupt an enemy while he is making a mistake."

[malaise]

10. He could solve this and just

stop breathing period

[allegorical oracle]

13. In some camera shots (with Rubio standing behind him) it appears his orange makeup

is creeping down his forehead. May be warm in the room.

[GoCubsGo]

15. Some of that is actually saliva slurping.

Sniff, sniff, shiff, gasp, slurppppp, sniff, gasp, slurp, sniff, sniff... It's fucking disgusting. He has been like that for years, but HAS gotten worse over time.

[Rob H.]

28. There's medical pro named Hillary Sample on YouTube (@concussiontalks_slp)

who's a speech-language pathologist specializing in neurological diseases and disorders, and she believes that his worsened slurping is a symptom of his (undeclared) dementia. The slurping starts to happen when a patient is losing their automatic swallow reflex, so they basically have to make the conscious choice to slurp the saliva to the back of their mouth in order to swallow it.

Semi-related: There's also another really good channel on YouTube, @epistemiccrisis, who talks about Trump's worsening condition. He's a physical therapist with a doctorate in his field with 15 years' experience dealing with the elderly and dementia patients and he's saying that the reason Trump appears to have been blowing up like a balloon these past couple of weeks mirrors his experience working with elderly patients experiencing congestive heart failure.

38. I'm familiar with Doc Adam (epistemiccrisis.)

Hal Sparks brings him on his YouTube show every so often. They often discuss the whole slurping thing.

[Rob H.]

39. I'll have to check out Hal Sparks' show, too

Thanks for mentioning it.

[orleans]

16. what channel was this on? local news station? cnn? msnow? ??? idk nt

[yellow dahlia]

17. We are watching him devolve, even further...if that's possible.

He is using wrong words, regularly, like company instead of country.

He is rambling worse than usual...if that's possible.

He is sharing his usual delusions, saying that they are all telling him they love him.

He is bouncing all over the place in his thought process. His brain is like ping pong.

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. What's the emergency?

Why not let nature take its course?

Sounds like congestive heart failure…SAD.

[Dan]

23. It's kind of sad to say this, but I think most of the people on this planet will celebrate when he takes his last breath

[The Madcap]

32. It will be a celebration

like nothing ever seen before...ever.

It will rival the celebrations at the end of ww2.

[Aristus]

24. Yes, he's having such a hard time breathing. I wish he would stop.

Skip the Emergency Room, and take him to the morgue.

[mercuryblues]

25. Trump is out of breath

And you want someone to take him to the ER?

I want someone to play YMCA on a loop.
You know, he can't resist dancing to it.

[EarthAbides]

26. He is swelling all over his body!

Have you seen him lately? He barely fits in any of his suits and when he sits down you can really see how bloated he really is. And I am thinking that is not fat, that is edema all over his body. He will be checking out sooner rather than later...

[bob4460]

29. The Republicans are robbing the Treasury

And passing it around!

[Initech]

30. He should not be the president. He should be in an assisted living facility under 24/7 supervision.

[2MuchNoise]

31. He should be in a prison infirmary.

[Initech]

35. That too!

[Scrivener7]

34. Don't threaten me with a good time!

[no_hypocrisy]

36. To quote Orrex, "Is he dead yet?"

[Autumn]

37. It sounds good to me. Not the emergency room, the first part.
