I think they may have him on steroids for something.

Looking at this reminded me of 2019, when I was in heart failure, & on big doses of methylprednisolone (steroids). I had to go to a funeral & I couldn’t close the top 2 buttons on my shirt, & getting around my neck left little slack to tie my tie. I couldn’t wear pants that fit me six months earlier

Difference btwn me & Trump was I was decades younger, was in excellent health before getting the disease, had a strong runner’s heart & my heart failure was essentially a symptom of the autoimmune disease. Few people mostly recover from heart failure like I did, they just manage it. Until they can’t

My younger sister died of that disease in her 40’s . She had a lot of the same underlying issues as trump, obesity, CHF, and kidney failure. Also she had Type2 diabetes which I’m shocked he doesn’t have🤷🏻‍♀️. Either way when she was at the same point in her disease, she was gone in less than 6 mo

[And to be clear, while by some metrics my heart is in the normal range, the damage left me 100% reliant on a pacemaker, & I take several heart meds to prevent backsliding]

Wow, that must’ve been really scary. I’m glad that you’re OK! I appreciate the point around having underlying health and good conditioning. My friend had a widowmakers heart attack, but his cardiovascular system was strong enough that he survived.

It's so amazing that you recovered (mostly) from all that.

I was fortunate to have been in good health—it was discovered because I wasn’t able to run—& I have outstanding doctors. And 20 years earlier it wouldn’t have been caught bc they hadn’t begun using PET scans to detect sarcoidosis.

Biden has metastatic prostate cancer and looks to be in better health even though he's four years older (not that our media would ever admit that).

Having just gone thru this with FiL, yes. The diapers were the original tell for me because the meds move so much fluid out of the body. And meds have improved so much, folks can manage this issue … until they can’t. Once the water builds up it is tick tock. Tick tock, you orange MFer

Trump has worn diapers for years due to incontinence from Adderall abuse.
