Trump's Congestive Heart Failure and Resultant Edema

Ankles Aweigh!

[quote] He and they've NEVER spoken a true word about this maniac stooge's health.

Who are "they"?

And he will still live to be 90 years old, OP.

How they get those shoes onto his feet without his head exploding is beyond me!

The bitch has big-time, life-ending cankles.

Don't hold your breath, OP. Unhealthy people live forever nowadays thanks to medication and life saving technology.

R2, quibbling and disingenuous?

His people. Trump's rings of misrule and deceit around him.

How long?

If the photo is unedited… that’s some bad edema. .

Hurry!

OP: you GO, girl!!!!

He should just give up on the hard sole pointy-toe lace-up dress shoes and lay in a closetful of Propét walkers, slippers, and easy-to-wear dress shoes like we've done with my old Dad over the last 10-12 years.

Even the administration admits it's CVI, qnd the outlook for that is not good:

[quote] [bold]CVI is not a benign disorder and, with its progression, can lead to morbidity and mortality.[/bold] Venous ulcers are common and very difficult to treat. [bold]Chronic venous ulcers are painful and debilitating. Even with treatment, recurrences are common if venous hypertension persists. [/bold] Nearly 60% develop phlebitis, which often progresses to deep vein thrombosis in more than 50% of patients. The venous insufficiency can also lead to severe hemorrhage. Surgery for CVI remains unsatisfactory despite the availability of numerous procedures.

Wishing Trump all the bad words in the paragraph cited at R13.

He must smell terrible.

R13, that’s the sweetest poetry I’ve ever read. Thank you.

He doesn't need to die to be incapacitated. A few severe strokes and a wheelchair and the GOP will no longer be able to spin his health.

Cankles as wide as the Mississippi.

They wake him up at 9am. McDonald's breakfast. Hair and makeup. Go over that day's stunts, announcements and personal appearances. Back in the White House in time to watch the evening news shows (McDonald's again) talking about him.

I've been praying to the Baby Jesus every night. When is Trump's fatal heart attack happening?

I relish all the possible maladies in R13 and R17. Any or all of them are fine with me. All I ask is they be extremely painful and televised live, especially on Fox News.

I hear three Big Mac combos and two buckets of KFC can cure cankles, Mr. President.

In Canada, they say the Cankles are as wide as the 401.

May he faceplant in his morning cereal.

Sublety inking at r23.

Winking!

Either I have a stalker or I invoked Mark Carney.

[quote] Chronic venous ulcers are painful and debilitating.

As opposed to tasers, pepper spray and zip ties?

Nobody has made a he has sufficient joke yet?

[quote]In southern Ontario, they say the Cankles are as wide as the 401.

FIFY r23

As wide as the Katy freeway.

The Big Mac fell down his pant leg and crept into his sock.

“That’s where I put it. Very fine burger!”

Dead soon. Sooner the better. And then watch the shit hit the MAGA fan..

if and when it happens it will be sudden and quick. Unfortunately.

Who will the MAGAts blame when he declines and dies? Their perpetual state of anger and subclinical paranoia will lead them to reflexively point fingers at people and claim bad intent. You know with the primitive state of their thought processes and critical thinking skills, they're going to think he died because his healthcare was inadequate, not because he's an old man who's been eating and drugging himself into such an unhealthy state for decades. Somebody wasn't looking out for him well enough, he didn't get the right doctors, Vance and Rubio are up to something, etc., etc. MAGA in mourning and disbelief and the intense infighting to fill the vacuum should be interesting, if not fun.

R35, maybe... maybe not. I work in healthcare, supporting multiple physicians. They see it all.

Trump's venous insufficiency condition is one thing. His heart itself is another. His cognitive decline, a very different shape than Biden's but all too real nonetheless, is another. He could die instantly of a pulmonary embolism or similar fatal blood clot, that is true. Or he could be plagued by venous ulcers and episodes of sepsis, cellulitis or related type of infection. Strokes and cardiac events of varying severity can also happen with this condition, and they can have all kinds of outcomes.

Then there's the brain thing. He is definitely worsening over time, it's a wholly different presentation than Biden's cognitive decline but it is all too real. The coming year or two will be increasingly challenging for his administration as it becomes increasingly clear he is unfit to lead. The obvious rejoinder is "He's already unfit to lead, and they're all staying loyal to him 100%, face it, nothing will change" but the situation will indeed worsen. And then worsen further. A lot of us in here are ages 50 to 65, and if we don't have direct experience caregiving for a parent with progressive dementia, we have friends and loved ones who do. If you've been close to a progressive dementia patient, you know how it goes.

Trump's collapse is coming. Nothing can stop it. And it's hard to maintain patience and just sit here and wait for it. Hopefully some of us will find ways to get involved in the 2026 election cycle this coming year. A Democratic majority House 2027-2028 would do a lot to put some brakes on this nightmare.

Probably his fecal production backing into his arteries.

Effects of some STD?

Congestive heart failure sounds about right----fatty diet, no exercise.

Trump did call STDs his "personal Vietnam," but I find it doubtful they were left untreated.

More lies from the lying liberal left! Our President is in a peak physical condition.

In fact, that's just a swollen ankle from a rock climbing mishap.

Liars!!!

R42 Your husband is your father’s age.

If only Melania filled those prescription bottles with something else...like maybe white Tic Tacs ? Will he ever know the difference ? And she would go down in history as an American Heroine.

The shit is starting to settle.

OP Weren't Kim Jon Un & Putin supposed to be dead from some fatal diseases 5 years ago? Dream on sweetie.

300 lbs of shit stuffed into a 100 lb bag.

R9, image was close-up of photo taken from White House shot 10/7/25 in Golden Lunatic Office meeting with Canadian PM Carney.

No distortion. I'm not a MAGA chimp who does that sort of thing.

R46, what's your damage to puke up your irrelevancies?

Sweetie.

His neckpussy was full to bursting at his Navy speech

After reading this thread, I flashed to the airplane scene in Succession where Karl and Frank are putting on their compression socks!

He's probably long dead and they're using a body double.

R47 He's much heavier than 300 pounds - much heavier.

I dunno, it looks to me like he's lost a bit of weight and a few inches of height (like many elders do) and is now only 6 ft and 230 lbs or so. Just going by photos.

But that edema around the ankle is a bad sign.

You don't "lose a FEW inches in height" when you get old.

An inch or so, perhaps.

"Few" indicates 3 or more.

Trump is not anywhere close to 230 lbs.

I'm 5'11" and 225 lbs. I look positively svelte compared that this lardo.

I'M BIG BONED!
