Wait for the conspiracy theories that claim Trump was poisoned by Biden, Soros, Clintons, Hollywood, etc.

That would be a twist! Maybe there is an opportunity to create rifts within the Maga cult by spreading theories that it was Vance, Musk, Theil, Hogsbreath, Jared, Netanyahu….let them eat their own.

From an armchair interventional cardiologist- Trump is probably getting a valve replacement, implanted defib, and an LVAD

Thanks. Makes sense. Hematologist/oncologist that I am, I thought he might have been anticoagulated for pulmonary emboli from deep venous thromboses. But why would that make him disappear from sight?

I'm guessing they'll throw in a Thoratec LVAD (made in Pleasanton) while they have him cracked open

Not necessarily bilateral DVT (although possible, especially if for some reason he had a hypercoagulable condition. But with venous bilateral venous insufficiency a unilateral clot might form.

Could be a thombectomy but those ankles scream CHF. Could be going after an COPD embolism with a braided retriever and thrombectomy with 2 balloons. So many companies and options out there. It's all just polymers and NiTiNOL

I pray he doesn't return to the Oval Office and that his illness determined to be due to something Bobby fed him.

Right. Trump is the veritable picture of health. But in the event he’s decaying before our very eyes, I’m prepared to lead our country down the rabbit hole to extinction. That’s just the kind of regular guy I am. And I’ll smile the entire time.
