Is Trump Having Trouble Standing?

[postman]

Republicans don't call it lying. They call it "exaggeration" and "paltering".

did dr. ronnie jackson lie about trump's health?

Continued Support: Despite no longer being Trump's official doctor, Jackson (now a U.S. Representative) has continued to publicly vouch for Trump's health, recently claiming in 2026 that the former president remains in "excellent" condition despite reports of physical symptoms like slurred speech and an uneven gait.

Dr. Ronny , is becoming a Doctor in name only, as he is down to his Florida military medical license, and is licensed in no other state, despite treating Trump from New Jersey to Michigan.

Jackson said in the letter that, as Trump’s former doctor, he was worried and traveled to Bedminster, New Jersey, where Trump had flown late Saturday after he returned from Pennsylvania, “to personally check on him, and offer my assistance in any way possible.”

He said he has been with Trump since that time, evaluating and treating his wound daily, and would remain with Trump through the weekend, including traveling to Michigan,

The last President I voted for who was over 65 was Ronald Reagan...and most people know how that turned out. Fortunately for the nation, Reagan surrounded himself with good people. Trump is not Reagan.

I don't favor a law on it, but do favor the parties avoiding nominating candidates over 65.

You seem to be regretting your vote for Reagan.
You shouldn't.





“Between the early 1980s and 2007 we lived in an economic Golden Age. Never before have so many people advanced so far economically in so short a period of time as they have during the last 25 years. Until the credit crisis, 70 million people a year were joining the middle class. The U.S. kicked off this long boom with the economic reforms of Ronald Reagan, particularly his enormous income tax cuts. We burst from the economic stagnation of the 1970s into a dynamic, innovative, high-tech-oriented economy. Even in recent years the much-maligned U.S. did well. Between year-end 2002 and year-end 2007 U.S. growth exceeded the entire size of China's economy.”

If sensible rescue efforts continue--and they will--the immediate crisis will quickly pass.

1. Under Reagan, the debt went up $1.7 trillion, from $900 billion to $2.6 trillion.
2. But….the national wealth went up $ 17 trillion
3. Reagan's near-trillion-dollar bulge in defense spending transformed the global balance of power in favor of capitalism. Spurring a stock-market, energy, venture-capital, real-estate and employment boom, the Reagan tax-rate cuts and other pro-enterprise policies added some $17 trillion to America's private-sector assets, dwarfing the trillion-dollar rise in public-sector deficits and creating 45 million net new jobs at rising wages and salaries.

And the tax cuts of the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 stimulated economic growth. “As a 1982 JEC study pointed out,[1] similar across-the-board tax cuts had been implemented in the 1920s as the Mellon tax cuts, and in the 1960s as the Kennedy tax cuts. In both cases the reduction of high marginal tax rates actually increased tax payments by "the rich," also increasing their share of total individual income taxes paid.” http://www.house.gov/jec/fiscal/tx-grwth/reagtxct/reagtxct.htm

“As inflation came down and as more and more of the tax cuts from the 1981 Act went into effect, the economic began a strong and sustained pattern of growth.” http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/taxes/ustax.shtml

Sorry for any confusion. The only vote I've ever regretted is voting for Perot over GHW. I liked and respected GHW but fell for the spell of Perot. My choice. My fault.

The most important fact is that the United States of America is among the world's most powerful, most populous and most geographically large on the entire planet. Only idiots and morons don't understand this fact.

Christians know what to do with power and money. Satanists will lie about it. Never trust a liar.

Thanks for the info. While I agree with Reagan 100% on the Cold War, I have less enthusiasm for his policies that put money in the pockets of the rich at the expense of other Americans. His crushing of PATCO set a trend.

While I liked Reagan at the time, it proved that Republicans turned their backs on Christ by becoming Mammon Worshipers.

Which is more important, PoliticalChic , the words of Christ or current political leaders?

He sure is sitting a lot in his photo ops.

There was a report of his ankles swelling...

Trump is checked for lower leg swelling and diagnosed with a common condition in older adults

The White House says President Donald Trump had a recent medical checkup after he noticed “mild swelling” in his lower legs.

apnews.com

I wonder if this change from his first administration is associated with that.

Even more.

Then there is this:

An unscheduled visit to the doctor is upcoming for the blob:

[LibertyWeeps]

Regardless of what you think of him..................Trump is an old man.

His money can buy the best doctors, but those doctors can't do anything about the passage of time and Mother Nature taking its tolls on his body. He ages just like the rest of us.

He's going to have his good days and bad days, just like everybody else.

 

[candycorn]

If it was just a check-up, nearly all examination room equipment has a portable counterpart that could discretely be brought into the White House. I think they have a small facility there on campus anyway.

Just a sidebar: I think that the area under the playpen that is being built will probably have some souped-up medical capability because....

If you’re having to go to the hospital to have whatever the blob is having done...that indicates that it’s elevated or advanced in nature requiring advanced technologies

He is starting to Sundown in a bog way. I had two dogs and a Mother In Law that did the same. he will stay up all night and rant on Truth Social, then sleep during the day.

One thing to remember -- he may have very exclusive access to very advanced healing technology that almost nobody else in the country even knows about.

Makes me happy.
