I'm guessing we're going to hear about Trump's effing health every day until there's no longer anything to report

Lev Parnas, who worked as an operative for Trump's 2016 campaign, said on a recent podcast episode of "The Weekend Roundup" on Substack that it's likely several of President Donald Trump's closest advisors don't even know about any health conditions he may be battling. Parnas's comments come at a time when the president's administration is trying to bat down any speculation that Trump is in poor health.

"What's going on with Trump's health is definitely something bad because I am not hearing anything," Parnas said. "My sources, and everybody I've spoken with, the circle of people who know what's going on with him is extremely small. I'm talking about so small that Marco Rubio might not know. Pete Hegseth might not know. Susie Wiles. Stephen Miller. Those types of people."

"Chief of staff. Family, that sort of thing," co-host Dean Blundell added.

"No, not even family," Parnas said.

I have resigned myself to the fact that the media won't let this go, so...yes, there is a silver lining in the cloud.

is even more relentless, since he's clearly in worse shape than Biden ever was (or is now), and that the supine media start paying the kind of attention to Trump's bruises and cankles and incoherence that Jake Tapper whipped up about Biden's age, even without cankles and bruises and word salads. The worst of MAGA will still think the sun shines out Trump's ancient ass, but maybe at least some GOPers will finally see that he's a senile, rotting husk who shouldn't be anywhere near the launch codes.

They ignored it.

On the other hand, Biden caught a bad cold and they went apeshit crazy.
