So, everywhere on lefty media lately, I'm seeing people wonder "is Trump dying?" and then speculating on his health. One point of contention is some recent medical stuff going on with him like bruised hands and swollen ankles, and another is him talking about "getting into heaven" lately.
And uh...okay, let's discuss my thoughts on it. We don't know the severity of whatever...afflictions Trump suffers with. They could be mild, they could be severe, and I dont trust the white house to be honest given since 2016 the line on the president's health has been "he's the healthiest president, ever, believe me!" Ya know, we're pretty much approaching "Kim Jong Un doesn't crap" levels of propaganda regarding the guy's health. However, we also always hear stories of how this leader looks like he's dying and this one looks like they're dying and....then guess what, years pass, they're still alive. Hillary Clinton fainted on the campaign trail or had to climb into a limo and people wondered if she was healthy enough to lead. And yet...she's still alive. Putin's hands shake and he seems to have to hold onto tables to make it not be so obvious. People act like it's some condition and he's gonna die any day now. He's still alive. Biden was literally sunsetting in the white house and very clearly has some cognitive stuff going on, and he's still alive. And even with prostate cancer, assuming it responds well to treatment, he could be living with this for years.
It's the same with Trump. Does he likely have conditions that the public does not fully know about? Sure. i dont think the guy's honest about his medical records. But at the same time, remember covid? He had covid, we thought he was gonna die, he rushed to the hospital for some experimental treatment, and...he's still kicking. As far as recent medical stuff. Bruises on hands, old people get that, it's not necessarily life threatening. Collagen in skin dries out as you get older, you tend to bruise a lot more easily, not the end of the world. Looks ugly though so he covers it up with makeup. Swelling in ankles, now this is the interesting one. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if the guy has congestive heart failure. They call it "chronic venous insufficiency", but I suspect he could have a heart issue there. Is that fatal? Well, we gotta talk time scales on that one. Will it kill you eventually? yes. Is he actively dying now? no. The fact is, assuming it's well managed, you can live like a good 10 years with that. Now, with trump, you gotta keep in mind, obese guy who lives on diet coke and mcdonalds. Is he that healthy? probably not. Is he dying? probably not. I mean, let's ask the relevant question, will he die in office? Assuming this is his last term and he doesnt actually run for a third term, which I have to remind people, is a blatant constitutional violation, eh...he COULD, but I honestly don't think he necessarily WILL.
I mean, i give him like a 30% chance of dying in office. Dude's like 79, he has some obvious medical conditions. Due to his propagandistic image of his health, we can't trust official information and he might be covering stuff up. But nothing screams "he's dying" in any immediate sense. Is it possible he got some bad news like CHF lately? I could see that being plausible. But again, he could theoretically live another 5-10 years with that depending on how well he manages it and how severe it is at diagnosis. So idk. I honestly am going to say the dude's likely going to live long enough to serve out his term. How long will he live? idk. I can't see him making it into like his 90s. I honestly give him maybe 5 years if I'm being honest. Although I'm not a doctor. Still, long enough for him to live through his term and hopefully leave the office for good this time. So yeah. That's my view.
