This is not a picture of a healthy man.

His weight is up. He is obese and still lying about his actual weight, which is far higher than he claims. His cholesterol meds went from 10 mg to 40 mg.

What bothers me most is that lost dead stare. It was the same one my father had before he died from Dementia/Alzheimer's. Frankly I think this is why he spends so much "executive time" locked away from others.

Yes, I hate the man for his cruelty, bigotry, racism and his hell bent destruction of laws and departments that would protect all Americans. However I do not wish it on anyone.

....................................

The most common early symptom of Alzheimer's is difficulty remembering newly learned information because Alzheimer's changes typically begin in the part of the brain that affects learning. As Alzheimer's advances through the brain it leads to increasingly severe symptoms, including disorientation, mood and behavior changes; deepening confusion about events, time and place; unfounded suspicions about family, friends and professional caregivers; more serious memory loss and behavior changes; and difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking.

Hillary had a plan, sad so many said anyone but Hillary.

The Office of Hillary Rodham Clinton

An end to Alzheimer’s disease

Note: This page is a reproduction of the Hillary for America policy proposal on an end to Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. It’s the only cause of death in the top 10 that we can’t prevent, cure, or even delay.

As the population of our country ages, the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s is expected to grow to nearly 15 million Americans—and could cost more than $1 trillion per year—by 2050.

As president, Hillary will:

Commit to preventing, effectively treating, and making a cure possible for Alzheimer’s disease by 2025.
Invest $2 billion per year in research for Alzheimer’s and related disorders, the level leading researchers have determined necessary to prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer’s and make a cure possible by 2025.

Make sure that funding is reliable and consistent so researchers can work steadily toward effective treatment.
Put the best and brightest on the case. Hillary will appoint a top-flight team of research and health experts to oversee this ambitious initiative.

Many of you have had a family member go through this or in the present day is beginning to. Goddess, it hurt to see my dad waste away.

To all of you that have or will have a loved one go down that road.

[Blue Owl]

1. It is indeed a picture of a very sick man...

[bluestarone]

2. Sorry looks like a normal RETHUG to me.

[sheshe2]

4. Then you have never spent years with an Alzheimer's patient.

[bluestarone]

8. Sorry didn't think i needed this. but i edited my post

[sheshe2]

10. Thank you, bluestarone.

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. He looks fine to me...

...whatever he is doing, I hope he keeps it up.

[handmade34]

5. my Dad

I quit my job to take care of him as his Dementia made him dependent... I honor him as he chose to end his life (voluntarily quit eating and then drinking) rather than continuing to suffer and put that on us...

I don't care about Trump and know he would do nothing to help others... I don't care what happens to him, only that he be removed from the presidency and that he not be able to hurt other people and the Country as he is doing...

[sheshe2]

15. Oh, sweetie.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. He's a schmuck but I'm not sure any of us have the ability to diagnose him.

[sheshe2]

13. You have not spent years around an Alzheimer's patient, correct?

The man has all the symptoms.

[USALiberal]

24. Wow, how has the Washington post missed these symptoms???? Shocking!!! nt

[greymattermom]

19. Well we can look of pictures of him

standing next to Justin Trudeau, 6'2", and men who claim to weigh 243 pounds, and do visual comparisons. We can observe how far he walks. I'm his age and I walk 2 miles every day, some days up to 7 miles. Who has seen him walk more than a few steps? Videos must exist somewhere.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. I was referring to the Alzheimer's diagnosis.

[USALiberal]

25. You are correct, really silly to diagnostics based on photos. nt

[cwydro]

29. I remember when whatever idiot Republican senator was diagnosing that child years ago.

He was a doctor, but he’d never met her. DUers were incensed.

But I see DUers with NO medical training diagnose others every day.

Let’s see, someone diagnosed Melanie with some sort of spine disorder the other day...I’ve seen rump diagnosed as a cocaine addict, an adderall addict, congestive heart failure, numerous other ailments, and now Alzheimer’s.

None of us is qualified to diagnose him without a medical degree, and certainly not from afar. It’s just silly, despite our own experiences with whatever the disease du jour is.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. The only thing we can say with certainty is he has coronary artery disease based on testing.

I'm not equipped to opine on its severity. I suspect most octogenarians have coronary artery disease, especially overweight ones with Trump's habits.

[TNNurse]

48. Perhaps you remember my senator Dr. Bill Frist

who diagnosed Terri Schiavo in Florida without ever examining her. And he was wrong.

[cwydro]

56. Thank you lol.

I was too lazy to look it up. Yes indeed. I guess I wanted to forget that horrid episode.

And we did not think much of his long distance diagnosis. DUers shouldn’t try it either.

[TNNurse]

57. I had to look up her name,

his, I wish I could forget.

[UniteFightBack]

7. Did they release his numbers and details from his physical? It should not be taking this long...nt

[Wounded Bear]

12. Well, yeah, if you believe them...

[dewsgirl]

30. Yep, he weighs 243 (he absolutely does not). And I read somewhere he gained

an inch in height somehow.

[Dave Starsky]

58. So he's 6'4" now? Growing boy.

Next year, he'll be towering over LeBron James.

[dewsgirl]

61. No, he is saying now he is 6'3. Actually Rachel covered this last night,

Justin Trudeau is 6'2 taller than Trump. Obama is 6ft ,1/2 inch and taller than Trump. But yeah next year he'll be even taller and although he will have undoubtedly gained at least another 20 lbs, it'll be like 3 or 4. It's absurd and these "doctors" licenses revoked.

[Dave Starsky]

62. If that dude is 6'3", I'm Wilt Chamberlain.

It's infuriating that they expect us to believe even the most obvious horseshit.

[dewsgirl]

63. Extremely true.

[Bleacher Creature]

9. I wish him a very long, healthy, and lucid life.

I want him to be around to see it all come crashing down. I want him to experience financial ruin. And I want him to spend as much time as possible behind bars.

[Solly Mack]

11. He looks high and swollen. He's a scumbucket.

If he were to drop dead live on TV I'd never stop laughing.

[llmart]

14. That was my guess too...

drugged up to keep him from doing even worse things than he already does.

P.S. I really don't care, do u?

[Solly Mack]

16. Heh. Nope.

[roody]

17. The puffy eyes are from late night overeating.

Believe me, I know.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Can you imagine how horrible he would look without that fake tan?

The "tan" looks stupid, but you would really be able to see how unhealthy he is if he was his natural color.

Nobody that age with his health habits is healthy.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

21. His lizard person scales were thisclose to pushing through the orange concealer!

[riversedge]

22. sure is a bad pic of dumpy trumpy

[yellowcanine]

60. This one is worse.

[Sneederbunk]

23. All that Executive Time is wearing him down.

[samnsara]

26. he looks slightly crosseyed as well

[guillaumeb]

27. Sick on the outside, sick on the inside as well.

Thank you she, for the reminder about cognitive disorders.

[malaise]

28. Yes...and?

[Ilsa]

31. High total cholesterol measured at midlife was

was significantly associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

It doesn't surprise me that his dr quadrupled his statin rx.

[Mr.Bill]

50. I take statin drugs for Cholesterol.

I've been taking them for about three years. We went through several different ones until we got the best results with the least side effects and found the proper dosage to get the job done. Never did my doctor quadruple my dosage. My wife is a retired RN and she says this is very unusual. This is a real red flag.

[Ilsa]

52. Somebody said his previous dosage was 10 mg.

40 mg daily is supposed to be the max.

It's interesting that taking statins can help lower risk for dementia (from what I read). It sounds like high cholesterol, uncontrolled, can increase the likelihood of developing cognitive neurological problems.

I think trump was probably borderline as a younger man, and then he spiked and has a liver that is growing tired of trying to keep his total cholesterol down.

On edit, from UPI:
The memo said Trump is taking an increased dose -- from 10 mg to 40 mg -- of rosuvastatin, a medication used to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. His cholesterol level was 196, down from 223 last year.

[akraven]

32. I wouldn't even wish it on Dick Cheney, and I hate that man with a passion.

My dad-in-love passed to the next realm from this hideous disease. It's worse than many can imagine. I'd gladly pay higher taxes to help see that it is eradicated.

I hate that you had to go through this, sheshe2.

[sheshe2]

34. Hillary was going to try.

Yet, not her.

Thanks, akraven.

[Mr.Bill]

51. Actually I wish Dick Cheney

would spontaneously burst into flames and die screaming with burning pain.

[BBG]

53. You are kind

That sounds kinda mild for that evil fuck.

[Kitchari]

33. Not healthy, but

I hope he lives long enough to go to JAIL.

[Grasswire2]

35. drugged and bloated beyond a doubt

There's no one home beyond those eyes.

[CatMor]

36. He has the strangest eyes ...

they give me the creeps.

[mcar]

38. Yes, his weight has to be much higher than what is reported

And to quadruple cholesterol meds? His numbers must be through the roof!

she. Dementia/AZ is such a sad, difficult disease.

[sheshe2]

39. Yep.

His cholesterol numbers are through the roof. However his popularity among the morans is taking a dive.

Thanks. Love ya mcar.

[roamer65]

40. I wish he would choke on a KFC bone and die.

[magicarpet]

41. Oh just give him 20 large orders of MikeyD's fries with extra extra salt..

He will be fine.

[roamer65]

43. 20 orders of their new cheese bacon fries with a boat load of salt.

[magicarpet]

46. And gravy.....

[GWC58]

55. And three, no make that four, Big Macs, with its

fat laden “Special Sauce.” He’ll love them! Oh, and a large Diet Coke. 🤪☠️ As for Alzheimer’s Disease I lost my grandmother and my aunt (my Mom Mom’s daughter). It was definitely “the long goodbye.” Very sad. 😨😰

[sarcasmo]

42. Dementia, eyes and gate are two telling signs.

[Ferrets are Cool]

44. All I see is an image of a criminal. nt

[jalan48]

45. Looks like he's ready for his bottle and a snooze to me.

[bdamomma]

47. I hope all

that hatred consumes him. He is not FIT to serve.

He is risk to us and others.

[Ilsa]

49. I'm guessing his height is actually about 6'1".

That puts his BMI at just over 32.

[empedocles]

54. Rachel had great fun tonight analyzing trump height and lies

My non ironic guess is height 72.5" and weight well over 250lbs.

[Yavin4]

59. Unhealthy in every sense of the word

physically
morally
mentally
spiritually
socially
