Who wants to bet TSF's disappearance from the public eye is due to his...

[Trueblue Texan]

...dialysis schedule? He had a "procedure" recently. Could it have been to place a fistula for dialysis? Heart disease and kidney disease go hand in hand. Kidney failure and dialysis would get my bet. The clock is ticking y'all.

[Walleye]

1. I don't remember him talking about getting into heaven ever before

[bluestarone]

47. Well, i do NOT for one minute believe he's religious at all.

If anything, it's a money scheme. This BASTARD will do anything to get more wealth. (my opinion of course)

[Walleye]

54. I do think he's ignorant enough to be superstitious

[CrispyQ]

76. I think he's hedging his bet. You know, just in case there is a big guy bigger than him. -nt

[Tree Lady]

78. Yes weird he said that

He knows all the things he has done, lied about, etc. Wouldn't surprise me if he prayed to save his soul to go to heaven but deep inside knows it's not real, knows he doesn't mean it only wants to escape hell.

Tells me he is afraid of death. Usually bullies are the biggest scaredy cats.

[Walleye]

83. Yep, he is such an obvious coward. He's afraid he'll meet Roy Cohn in hell. Eventually

[misanthrope]

108. He said it at a time when he was still scared of the Epstein Files emerging

Likely when the WSJ was making its revelations about the gift book. Trump's statement about heaven was an attempt at proactive damage control aimed at his evangelical support.

[Doodley]

126. He's just playing the J card.

[Ars Longa]

110. Re: Heaven...........Maybe try doing the main things Jesus talked about. Like Kindness to your

neighbor, Feeding the Hungry, Sheltering the Homeless, Welcoming the
Immigrant so forth......!!
Just a thought!

[Joinfortmill]

113. He's scared. He should be. Satan has a special place in hell for him.

[Conjuay]

115. Well he's being WOEFULLY optimistic to think

he has the remotest chance of getting there at this point.

[taxi]

2. Governor Newsom and his crack staff have made it so that Trump is embarrassed to show his face in public.

Last edited Sun Aug 31, 2025, 11:20 AM - Edit history (1)

Sure, Trump talks big, but in the face of criticism he is a weak, thin-skinned coward. Here is a fool who thinks RJK Jr is qualified as Surgeon General Secretary of Health and Human Services and the best platform against gun violence is wearing a pad on one's ear. His not being seen in public has nothing to do with his physical health, it's the demons inside his head that are getting to him.

[Trueblue Texan]

8. Speaking of the demons in his head...

...a lot of the crazy behavior we've seen from him over the years may be explained by urinary tract infections. He wears a diaper--UTIs are common in folks with incontinence. That, and he's just a crazy mofo anyway.

[livetohike]

9. My thoughts as well. Like any bully, he can dish it

out, but not take it. 25th Amendment time. It’s clear he can’t handle his duties.

[Trueblue Texan]

11. Well, anything is possible, but the notion of TSF getting shamed or embarrassed does seem impossible to me. nt

[yourout]

3. I better get some beer ready for the celebration

[Callie1979]

30. How long will the line to piss on that grave be?

And I hate that he has made me this way.
I've NEVER said shit like that about any politician

[LuvLoogie]

77. I wouldn't waste a good piss on him.

Never let his supporters forget. Always reply with, "How MAGA of you."
Or, "That's so MAGA."

Or keep them on ignore.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Yes I think this is the best guess. Medical treatment.

Or he was having an acute psychiatric episode and had to be stabilized/ medicated

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Any psychiatrist worth his salt would refuse to see him

because he would drive them crazy!

[Irish_Dem]

12. Mental health professionals are trained to do a job.

And they do it professionally and competently.
They are used to working with acute mental illness in all forms.
Sometimes they have to work with bad guys.

It is part of the job.

We can see easily on a day to day basis that Trump is on a drug cocktail.
Uppers and downers. Sometimes he is flying high, sometimes angry, depressed.
Sometimes obviously sedated.

[MadameButterfly]

14. So taking over the free world,

having everyone do his bidding, ending democracy, Ukraine, and the planet, bilking millions from followers and the government is not enough to make him happy. He still needs drugs to get by. Yet, he does it.

[Irish_Dem]

15. Yes. NOTHING will ever fill up the hole in his soul. Nothing.

He is the most powerful man in the world.
Everyone kisses his ass every minute of the day.
He commits crimes daily with the blessing of the US courts.
He will achieve his goal of being the richest man in the world too.

But he will still be depressed, angry, miserable.

The only time when he gets a moment of pleasure is when he rapes and beats up women and girls.
Or when he can destroy one of his enemies.
But it is fleeing sadism. Not happiness.

[MadameButterfly]

17. He has missed what life is about

and will never figure it out. I get that he was ruined early in his childhood.

So what happened to all the people who are allowing him to do this?

[Irish_Dem]

19. Trump knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Yes he is damaged beyond repair.

He is a narcissistic psychopath.
I also suspect bipolar.

We have seen that a large part of the US is populated with psychopaths as well.
Hatred, violence, greed, power at any cost are their only values.

Sad day in America.

[MadameButterfly]

21. I wonder if it has always been that way

but for some time in America democracy allowed good people to ascend and hold it at bay, for enough people, imperfectly, but enough for us to think that fairness and doing good was the norm.

It makes me thing of the last song in Camelot.

I'm not accepting the same fate, but seeing more than ever the miracle of what we have been, rather than taking it for granted.
Looking for a newer, even better miracle when the craziness is over.

[Irish_Dem]

56. He was a problem child. Beat up his teachers so got sent to a military school.

I guess he was not brave enough to start beating up the male military teachers.

Yes you are correct, it does feel like the line from Camelot.
For one brief shining moment there was Camelot.

Yes we took it all for granted.
The US was a miracle and I hope we can pull off another one.

[Ms. Toad]

97. That story (beating up his teacher) like everything else he says appears to be a figment of his imagination.

The teacher in question has apparently denied it ever happened.

[Irish_Dem]

100. So the story he was expelled from school and sent to a military school is not correct?

I think we have seen him in his little uniform from military school.
Back in those days rich parents did not send normal kids to military schools.

No one is going to tell the truth about Trump and his crimes.
Even officers of the court and judges lie their asses off for Trump.

Why would a retired teacher be braver than they are?

[Ms. Toad]

104. I said the story that he hit his teacher appears to be made up.

Snopes investigated and found no evidence he hit his teacher, as and included in its research a report that the teacher denied Trump hit him.

I said nothing about whether or not he was expelled, or was sent to military school.

But, FWIW, Trump never claimed to have been expelled.

[MadameButterfly]

114. What a strange thing to want to make up

and bragg about

[Ms. Toad]

123. Remember he wants to be seen as an alpha male.

Hitting a teacher when he was just a child because he didn't think they were a good teacher would fit that fantasy of his. And if he didn't actually hit one, just say he did (like he makes up stories his uncle told him about the Unabomber, etc. etc. etc.)

[MadameButterfly]

131. I can't even picture it

What age child? 7, 12, 15? Was the (imaginary) teacher a man or a woman? Did they fall, or bleed, or did the punch bounce off? or did they grab his wrists and call security? Was this supposed to make him/her a better teacher, or get rid of the teacher, or intimidate the teacher into treating him better? Was it to allow Donny to blow off steam, or to make classmates look up to him instead of the teacher?

I know this is all in the mind of Trump, but I can't even come up with a fantasy in which this makes any sense or elevates him in any way.

[Hey Joe]

52. Amen

Every day I am thankful that I am nothing like Trump. How horrible it must be to harbor all of his hatred and human dysfunction. To be a person with no basic human values, morals, ethics, empathy, wisdom or truth.
He exists in the hell of his own making. And punishes everyone else for it.

[Irish_Dem]

57. People like Trump never get into therapy. Everyone around them does.

Yes he lives in a hell of his own making.
I man who is an empty shell of a person, but a walking piece of hell on earth.

[karynnj]

58. Reading your post, I think of the Who song, behind blue eyes

Much of it fits.

Your words may explain his near constant anger despite having so much given to him. Consider the contrasting photos of himself and Joe Biden, in spite of everything the one who looks capable of happiness is Biden in spite of political losses and attacks and a major health issue.

[Irish_Dem]

65. Yes he is angry because nothing fills up his emptiness. Nothing satisfies him.

He will keep adding more gold crap to the Oval Office, but it is never enough.

He will destroy and punish everyone in the US, but it doesn't make him happy long term.

He will steal more and more money from the US, but no amount is enough for him.

[MadameButterfly]

116. Wow--I never thought about the song this way

Had to look up the lyrics. They have new power for me now.
Trump personifies it.

[pandr32]

79. I think the bipolar behavior is drug related.

He has abused stimulants for years. His psychopathy is total--checks every box.
His underlying health is bad and I do believe worse than we suspect. He has never exercised or eaten well. He can barely walk. He has been seen with a clear catheter outline and the bag may be strapped to his lower leg--causing the uneven, dragging step. He appears to be getting ivs in his hands for gawd-knows-what. Kidney disease? Cancer? He will never let us know.
I hope he is miserable.

[Irish_Dem]

91. Yes I thought so too. It is the uppers he takes making him manic.

But then I kept seeing all the gold crap in the Oval Office.
That looks true bipolar to me.
A colleague of mine thinks it is ADHD.
So we argue about it.

But yes to make an accurate diagnosis we would have to get him into detox and rehab,
get him off all substances for six months. Then take a good look at his mental status,
behavior and functional level.

[pandr32]

96. He will never be detoxed.

At this stage of the game being pumped full of stimulants is the only way to put him in front of a camera. It appears to be a challenge.

[Irish_Dem]

99. Yes of course. He is a hopeless cause.

I was just telling you the protocol for accurate diagnosis.
The bottom line is we cannot make accurate mood disorder dx right now.

We can make the personality disorder diagnoses.
We have more than enough data to make those.

Narcissistic psychopath.

[pandr32]

107. I agree!

👍

[Trueblue Texan]

125. All those behaviors could also be due to toxins in his blood.

Have you ever had an encounter with with an elderly person with a UTI? They act kookoo for Cocoa Puffs. TSF could have any of these diagnoses mentioned.

[MadameButterfly]

117. Interesting that he has been taking stimulants

given he trashes others for being low energy.

[yardwork]

82. The billionaires took over.

Mark Zuckerberg, sociopath who makes billions preying on the human desire to share our lives and brag a little to our friends about where we spent vacation or what we made for dinner.

Jeff Bezos, the ultimate vertical and horizontal monopoly industrialist. Bill Gates, ditto. And the rest of them: Thiel, the DeVos family (made their money on Amway, branched into mercenaries), etc.

Musk.

Too many sociopathic billionaires who think they're better than everybody else. We have a plague of them.

[Irish_Dem]

92. Yes the psychopath money hoarders are mentally ill and have taken over the USA.

They of course have installed vicious brutal psychopaths into high office who
will do their bidding.

Yes these billionaires think they are better than everyone else.
The rest of use are just useless eaters and are expendable.

[MadameButterfly]

118. Does Bill Gates fit into this generalization?

He gave $50 million to Kamala. The Gates Foundation gives billions to humanitarian causes. That doesn't sound like a sociopath to me.

[PatSeg]

49. Yes, because no matter how much money or

power he acquires, inside he is still the same person and that is someone he really doesn't like very much. All the bragging and boasting is to convince himself as well as the rest of the world.

Trump is not a very happy person and none of the things that he does will ever satisfy him. No one really loves him. They use him or fear him, but he is basically an unlovable person and he knows that.

[Irish_Dem]

60. Yes this is why he has to keep having his feathers rubbed constantly.

Constant fluffing, constant praise.
Distracts himself by raping women and girls.
Destroying everyone and everything around him.

To avoid the fact he is hated and a failure as a human being.

[PatSeg]

85. Exactly

He is stuck emotionally somewhere in his early childhood where he felt neglected and unloved. All the showboating and aggression is unsuccessful compensation.

[Irish_Dem]

90. Trump is stuck in the phallic stage of psycho-social development.

Obsessed with his genitalia and sexual acting out, vanity, self absorbed, sexual anxiety,
inadequacy, inferiority, envy of others. Yes the compensatory behavior is not
successful at all.

Yes his mother was absent most of the time.
Said to be ill all the time and was in and out of the hospital.
I believe she was just getting away from her brutal psychopath husband.

The father didn't care about the children and did not hire someone competent to
take care of the children. One of the young daughters was put in charge and she
was not able to parent the kids.

I suspect some bad stuff went down. The father appeared capable of anything.

[yardwork]

27. He's been sending out some tweets that are extreme even for him,

The wheels are falling off the wagon .

[Irish_Dem]

63. What he is saying?

We can determine his mental status each day by his tweets.

[yardwork]

81. I responded to my own post by accident.

See below.

Also, for Labor Day he tweeted that there are too many paid holidays, it's costing the US billions, and "the workers" don't like it, either.

He's getting dragged on the internet. I can't think of anybody except a handful of billionaires who think Americans have too much time off work. We have among the least time off of any developed nation. My friends in France are appalled that we work at all in August.

[Irish_Dem]

93. He is a psychopath and narcissist. He is the only one in the world who should get time off.

He keeps using one excuse after another to steal all money and benefits belonging to the American people.

Yes Americans already have a very low rate of time off compared to other modern countries.

[MadameButterfly]

119. The time off that is costing us billions is Trump playing golf

[yardwork]

75. He's reposting QAnon stuff again.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-goes-on-bizarre-ai-posting-spree/

Also go to Joe.My.God blog and scroll down, he's linked a bunch to tweets.

Newsom mocked the QAnon one.

Also Trump has been tweeting that he wants to go to heaven.

[Captain Zero]

34. My thought this morning was THEY ARE TAKING HIM OFF A DRUG

That he has been on FOREVER. Maybe one he shouldn't be on at his age?

Maybe one that is not a prescriPtion drug?

I know at times people here have said ADHD drugs and that at his age they cause
HEART PROBLEMS.

[Irish_Dem]

64. Usually they withdraw long term medications gradually.

Maybe the process is not going well.
Or he had an adverse reaction and they had to take him off of it immediately.

Yes we know he is a drug addict.
Taking uppers and downers.

[underpants]

5. He was back playing golf yesterday

[Trueblue Texan]

10. You can do normal things while being treated for kidney failure...

but dialysis itself takes hours and it's usually administered every other day. It may be a new procedure for him and they will run into glitches and problems often times early on...that may be why they've allowed his schedule to be open.

[Callie1979]

31. There is ZERO proof he's on dialysis.

Lets just stick with reasonable hopes of removal.

[Trueblue Texan]

127. Who mentioned proof?

There is no proof that I have, however, there is plenty of evidence of kidney disease and heart disease.He's definitely not getting enough SOMETHING to the brain.

[displacedvermoter]

132. No proof he is syphilitic

but I believe it to be true and I tell people it is so. Many people also say so.

[Callie1979]

134. Well the BRAIN issue has been going on for 50 yrs.

[BannonsLiver]

42. * He was back to looking like he was playing golf.

[Hornedfrog2000]

50. Werent those pics from july?

Thats what i heard.

[Maru Kitteh]

87. That's what you heard. Did you try looking the photo up?

The photos were from yesterday. The ONLY chance we have of returning more of our country to a reality-based society is to remain reality based ourselves.

[Chasstev365]

7. But James Comer wants to investigate from the public was kept in the dark about Biden's condition.

[Lovie777]

13. The walking dead............................

[Irish_Dem]

16. Trump is living on borrowed time.

[PJMcK]

18. Doesn't it feel like...

… we, too, are living on borrowed time?

[Irish_Dem]

20. Yes we are in a Wile Coyote moment.

Like someone said recently we are at the moment we are over the cliff and still in midair.
But we will fall soon.

[Callie1979]

32. Our Constitution certainly is on borrowed time.

[twodogsbarking]

22. Pick the day he passes and be first in line to piss on his grave.

[Pachamama]

73. Can I have multiple entries to the lottery?

September 23 or 28

October 14 or 23 or 28

[2MuchNoise]

23. He's lying low because

his ego can't handle all the attention that the Travis Taylor engagement is getting.

[Callie1979]

33. Imagine if she does the Super Bowl halftime show. That may take him out

[Blue Full Moon]

24. Think that also

Congestive heart failure and kidneys. If he is on dialysis he doesn't have long.

[llmart]

41. Unless he gets a transplant.

[Blue Full Moon]

88. Heart and kidneys but with advanced dementia should not happen

[LeftInTX]

44. Why would he be on dialysis? This is an unfounded rumor. He doesn't have pre-existing conditions.

CHF is very common.
It sounds worse than it is.

People can live with it for a long time.

[Hornedfrog2000]

51. Yeah,

Im not sure where the dialysis stuff is coming from. He would just get a new kidney.

[Trueblue Texan]

66. Read the original post.

I said I would bet, he is starting dialysis. I didn’t say he was. There is evidence that supports my suspicions.

[llmart]

94. We know nothing for certain about his health conditions.

I'm wondering where you got the information that he has CHF?

With his lack of exercise and poor eating habits and excess weight and hatefilled soul, he'd be more likely to have kidney failure, though we don't know that for sure either.

[LeftInTX]

102. Well, I'm wondering where this kidney failure is coming from? CHF is more common than kidney failure.

What is Chronic Venous Insufficiency?
President Trump’s recent diagnosis sparks interest in this common vascular condition

DALLAS, July 17, 2025 — In light of reports from the White House that President Donald J. Trump has been diagnosed with Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), the American Heart Association is sharing important information on the condition and its association with cardiovascular risk factors, disease and increased risk of death.

According to the Association, the world’s leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health for all, chronic venous insufficiency (a form of chronic venous disease) is highly prevalent - especially in older adults. The condition is often underrecognized and undertreated and there is a strong association between chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and an increased risk for heart issues, specifically cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality independent of age, sex and existing cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities. CVI is associated with the presence of established cardiovascular risk factors and disease, including age, obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and clinically overt cardiovascular disease.

Advanced age is, in general, a significant risk factor for CVI. As people age, the valves in their leg veins, which are responsible for maintaining blood flow towards the heart, can weaken or become damaged. This makes it harder for blood to flow back efficiently, allowing backward flow of blood in the veins, leading to blood pooling in the legs and the development of CVI.

“Chronic Venous Insufficiency can significantly impact your quality of life, but early detection and treatment can make a substantial difference,” said past volunteer chair of the American Heart Association's Vascular Health Advisory Committee and Scientific Council on Peripheral Vascular Disease Joshua A. Beckman, M.D., FAHA. “That is why it is vital for individuals to be aware of the signs and symptoms of CVI so they can seek timely medical evaluation and intervention.” Dr. Beckman is the Executive Clinical Director of Cardiovascular Services and Chief of the Division of Vascular Medicine and a professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he holds the Gayle and Paul Stoffel Distinguished Chair in Cardiology. He also serves as an associate editor of Circulation, the leading scientific journal for cardiovascular medicine, and has been a dedicated American Heart Association volunteer since 2004.
https://newsroom.heart.org/news/what-is-chronic-venous-insufficiency

According to a note from White House physician Sean Barbabella released to reporters, the condition is "benign and common", especially in people over age 70.

Additional testing showed "no signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness" in Trump, Barbabella said in the note, which confirmed the information from Leavitt's earlier briefing.

I notice they didn't mention: Coronary Artery Disease. atherosclerosis, hyper-cholesterol and/ or hypertension. I would not be surprised if he also had these and they only provided info specific to the bruising. Treatment for CAD and clogged arteries, often involves blood thinners to prevent heart attacks.

Doctors find drug that is better than aspirin at preventing heart attacks

Doctors have found a drug that is better than aspirin at preventing heart attacks and strokes, in a discovery that could transform health guidelines worldwide.

For decades, millions of people have been advised to take aspirin to reduce their risk of experiencing a serious cardiovascular event. A daily low-dose aspirin makes blood less sticky and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes.

But now a new study, presented at the world’s largest heart conference, has found that clopidogrel, a commonly prescribed blood thinner, is more effective – and with no extra risk.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/aug/31/doctors-find-drug-that-is-better-than-aspirin-at-preventing-heart-attacks-clopidogrel

OTOH: CHF is quite common. My grandmother had for years. She was thin and and I never saw swelling. My grandfather had it. My father in law had it. My chihuahua had it. She had it for about 10 years too. She couldn't tolerate lasix, so we didn't treat it. She lived to be 16 and died from fire ant bites. (OK, probably TMI) Her main symptom was a cough.

Most cases of kidney failure around here in older adults are secondary to long term diabetes and severe, chronic hypertension. Kidneys can go "quickly" but they often fail due to more serious conditions than Trump seems to showing. . Heart issues are more common and come on more gradually.

My husband is on blood thinners and he gets bruising like that. He has coronary artery disease.


This whole thing with his health is speculating that he's dead. For gosh sakes. People on here are saying that he's dead and that he has a body double. It goes on and on.

I'm out of this convo. He'll show up on TV and then everyone will realize that he's not dead.

[Trueblue Texan]

128. Kidney disease and heart disease go hand in hand. very common.

[LeftInTX]

133. Usually it's more severe heart disease.

Anyway, he was only "missing" for two days.

25 He was seen Monday
26 Tuesday, he held a cabinet meeting where they we praising him. It's on YouTube
27 Wednesday, he called an yelled at someone in Utah. The recording was played on our local news. - Heard loudly, not seen
29 Thursday, he signed two executive orders - but don't think he was in public
29 Friday, no one saw him.
30 Golf
31 Golf

Speculating on all these severe illnesses based on swelling and bruising is nonproductive. Unless he "disappears" for longer, it's business as usual and more importantly, he's out destroying America.

He often looks crappy and droopy when he goes golfing. There's a pic from 2019 and he looks just like the one from Saturday.

According to many here, he's been dying since 2015.

He's not dead. Nor is he dying. What if he just had a case of constipation and diarrhea or something?

[Ms. Toad]

98. CHF is ALSO an unfounded rumor. n/t

[LeftInTX]

103. True. But the rumors are so crazy...body doubles?? Dialysis....

He was diagnosed with Chronic Venous Insufficiency. They didn't say whether he had some form of issue with cholesterol (based on his weight, diet and the commonality, I think it's a given. They also didn't mention hypertension. Once again, based on his weight, high blood pressure could also be an issue. )

I would not be surprised if he is receiving blood thinners to prevent a heart attack or for treatment of chronic venous insufficiency and that's why he is having bruising. Hubby is on them. Hubby had a stent put in last year. Prior to that he was on lipitor for decades

[Ms. Toad]

105. The most recent report was solely about CVI.

I wouldn't expect the report of a newly diagnosed issue to include a litany of all of his medical problems.

But previous medical reports have mentioned mildly elevated blood pressure and high cholesterol which he controls by two medications. He is taking daily aspirin as a preventative cardiac measure. And he is using a cream for an unspecified skin condition. CHF has never been listed in his medical reports.

[LeftInTX]

109. I'm pretty sure the bruising is from blood thinners. Maybe a treatment for CVI? Maybe there are concerns with his

cholesterol levels etc. Obviously, blood thinners are prescribed to prevent clot(s) or possibly deal with them.

Anyway, blood thinners are a common treatment. Hubby was bruised like that. He did have a stent last year. Same diagnosis as Trump with long term high cholesterol and hypertension. (minus the CVI). He developed chest pains, so we took him in. They did a stent because they found some blockages. They put him on blood thinners afterward. Hubby is only 66 and dark complected. He was pretty embarrassed with his "old man bruises". He would get bruised bad if they drew blood or if he bumped into something or sustained a minor anything. He kinda turned into a prima-donna over the bruising thing.

[Ms. Toad]

111. I'm just relaying the diagnoses and treatments that are not speculation

because they are disclosed in his most recent comprehensive summary and the recent diagnosis. He was not diagnosed with hypertension - just with elevated blood pressure (not high enough for a hypertension diagnosis - but heading in that direction).

Bruises are common in older folks with, or without, blood thinners.

[Trueblue Texan]

124. CHF may be a rumor, but there is quite a bit of evidence that it's also truth.

In fact, it would be shocking if the man didn't have it with his lifestyle...all that KFC and hamburders . Anyone in healthcare knows CHF and kidney disease are closely linked. Yes, you can stay alive for years with them, but my original post is definitely not far fetched or made without evidence.

[Buddyzbuddy]

25. Let's hope he's relying on the medical expert RFK Jr,

for his health advice.

[JustAnotherGen]

26. I'm just happy

I don't have to hear that thing's idiotic bratty whining or see its ugly face.

[LeftInTX]

45. Something tells me, he will be on Tee-vee today.

He's gonna write some sicko EO's.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

121. Agree!

"...its ugly face."

[Fiendish Thingy]

28. Well he was photographed wearing a short sleeved shirt while golfing yesterday

Surely the fistula would show on his arm, wouldn’t it?

[IroningBored]

35. Fistula Placement

A family member who had hemodialysis had a fistula inserted directly into the chest cavity, below the collarbone. For comfort, he wore loose fitting shirts with the top button open. There was a recent photo of trump in the oval office with Vance and some other guy. All in suits with white shirts with no ties and top shirt buttons open. My first thought was hemodialysis.

[Fiendish Thingy]

37. Isn't it more common on the arm?

That’s been my experience.

[eShirl]

86. I think that's when they call it a port instead of fustula

btw, below the collarbone is where I had my port for chemo

[Trueblue Texan]

67. They often put them under the arm. They would put it where it would be least likely to show

[Callie1979]

29. Nope. Dont fall for the same shit we've been hearing about Putin

And dont forget, Bin Laden was supposedly on dialysis for 20yrs.

[BannonsLiver]

43. It really doesn't matter whether we buy it or not.

He’s either unwell or he’s not. Our views don’t really matter that much either way.

[marble falls]

36. In his case, he is a fistula.

[Captain Zero]

39. Yeah I think OP may have meant a PORT?

nt

[Trueblue Texan]

68. Aka fistula for dialysis nt

95. Yup. Got one temporary one myself. I've gotten a series of UTIs a legacy from my cancer reconstruction this time ...

... gone to sepsis (which I recommend to no-one). They're checking to see if the kidney will 'produce' better without the scar tissue narrowed replacement urethra that was connected to the kidney.

When I go back in a week they will reconnect the kidney.

38. Dialysis would eventually become a daily thing

What if they are withdrawing him from a DRUG he takes that causes venous insufficiency, heart failure and kidney failure?

A drug that even the doctors have never known about, maybe an illegal drug, maybe one that causes heart failure like ADHD meds which really he is too old to be taking...

40. Hope springs eternal.

48. He needs to be visited by the three Christmas spirits. (but i would add a fourth)

TWO DEATH spirits, (just in case he doesn't listen to the first death spirit)

[GreenWave]

53. I bet $50 something is wrong with that sucker. Any takers?

[Callie1979]

74. But how serious? We ALL have SOMETHING wrong with us!

[58Sunliner]

55. Makes sense. CHF will do that.

If the doctor is on the ball it will be peritoneal, which would improve his chances of surviving longer, unfortunately. He could be hooked up at night.

[Ping Tung]

59. Maybe he"disappeared" to get attention. Look how much he's getting here.

[LeftInTX]

70. I know! LOL!

[Rebl2]

61. I mentioned

to my husband yesterday I wonder if he is on dialysis now, or possibly had a heart procedure done.

[DFW]

62. If it's a medical issue, the last one he will call is Bobby, Jr.

Public stance: "I trust him to have the nation's health as his absolute first priority."
Private stance: "If I ever need a doctor, don't let that crazy quack anywhere near me!"

[usonian]

69. Just a minor procedure. What's the fuss?

[republianmushroom]

72. The great party is getting closer.

[BamaRefugee]

80. He'll resurface with "The Big Beautiful GoFundMe."

"As You know, I had to stay home from work for a while. SAVING THE WORLD can sometimes take a little bit out of a man, even a strong man, some people are saying Sir, you are the strongest man we've ever seen. And all of us working folks know that MISSING work means missing PAY. Of course the radical Left has now taken away our medical care, leaving us with massive debts.WILL YOU HELP ME IN THIS TIME OF NEED, so I can continue my never ending crusade against Commie Muslins? GIVE. And GIVE. And when it starts to hurt dig deep and GIVE some more. ONLY I, as a Nobel Prize Winner (they just haven't announced it yet) can win the battle to bring stability and prosperity and little blonde children into every American home. All Patriots who make the sacrifice which we expect to be the equivalent of a week's food money for you and your family (you'll stop being FAT and get a body like mine) will receive a PRIZE OF GOLD. RICH SPARKLING GOLD. GOLD THE LIKES OF WHICH THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN.
You will receive a vial of my precious golden urine as a keepsake. Many folks say Sir. I use your golden sparkling urine as a cologne. It magically smells like frankincense and myrrh just like we've all read about in MY FAVORITE BOOK THE BIBLE. Don't forget that we wil also make a huge list of thugs who did not make a contribution. They will also receive a BIG SURPRISE GIFT but I'll keep that a secret for now, we haven't built all the facilities needed yet. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

84. My ex has these and we've been waiting for 10 years

Only the good ones die. The evil ones miraculously have a zillion lives.

[Bookreadingliberal53]

89. My husband was on dialysis for 3 years

[Trueblue Texan]
