Donald Trump has made a bizarre confession about his own health at an event at the White House.
The US president was addressing a group of firefighters when he went on a tangent about personal vices.
“If you don’t drink or you don’t take drugs or if you don’t smoke, there’s no problem,” Trump said.
“I have other problems, I have some very severe problems. But those are not one of them.”
“I don’t want to add them to the list, 'cos if I did I guarantee I wouldn’t be here right now.”
Tin foil hat moment
His advisers are likely telling him there’s a high chance that he loses the house and Senate in the midterms, and that he will likely be impeached again. While it’s unlikely he will be removed by the Senate, he may be setting up a scapegoat to step down as president “I’m too sick to be president” as soon as he passes the 2 year mark, so JD Vance can take over and still be eligible for 2 terms after.
As a narcissist with no shame, this probably won’t happen, but if his (Thiel-backed) advisers are in his ear, he’s at least hearing it frequently.
He is not concerned about congress flipping. Vought has figured out how to keep new candidates form taking the oath on Jan 3rd. UNFTR has a piece on it, looks extremely likely to me.
If he’s a vegetable like the GOP McWhatever guy, we should force precedent that he’s still the acting president until death. No Vance. Just Vegetable In Chief.
Fortunately Vance has the personality of a wet couch cushion and won’t likely be able to motivate the MAGA cultists.
He doesn’t have the personality of a wet couch cushion, he’s just responsible for making the couch cushions damn and sticky and crusty.
