NEW: Trump has targeted political foes — including Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook — for claiming more than one primary residence on their loan papers. But ProPublica found that at least three of the president’s Cabinet members have done the same thing.

I know 6 people who died FROM Covid, incl. a husband & wife who left behind a 21-year-old son AND someone who caught it on a cruise ship in **2023** and died in the hospital after aspirating on some food. All unvaccinated. I don't know anyone who died (or was even injured) from the vaccine.

Slightly OT but it bears repeating that MAHA is NOT telling people to stop drinking & smoking (by far the 2 most insidious health habits), but rather to just exercise and get a suntan. Tobacco & alcohol are far, FAR more dangerous than food additives, & “Dr” Oz knows this.

He has longevity in his family, he’s never smoked or drank alcohol, & he has the best medical care in the world. You can eat a LOT of cheeseburgers before you cancel all that out. My own speculation is that his bout with Covid (& to what extent it damaged his cardio system) is the wild card.

Plus - It’s not talked about much, but 1) he has longevity in his family & 2) he doesn’t drink alcohol or smoke. IMO his case of COVID is the wildcard (whether it did long-term vascular damage) but adding in his access to the best healthcare, he could live another decade.
