You will hear, if you haven't already, that some of his campaign supporters are saying that the defendent has lost 20+ pound of lard while on the campaign trail. They attribute this to diet and exercise. They know this isn't true -- though he has lost weight, the source is the stress of being prosecuted by Jack Smith and black women who are way smarter than him. He has been shitting his pants, so to speak, because he now understands they are also smarter than his legal team.

But, I have to think he has enough competing issues that a competent physician would not prescribe them--but who knows...

(47,633 posts)But when your that big, a few pounds isn't likely to be noticeable. That said, if he did lose some weight, I'm sure diet drugs were involved. He's too lazy to do anything constructive or healthy.

PatSeg
(47,633 posts)If he isn't a basket case with all the indictments hanging over his head, he should be. A normal person in his situation wouldn't be able to eat or sleep. Of course, there are people who eat more when they are under stress.

Maru Kitteh
(28,343 posts)From the little insults like watching a long-retired physician call in a Z-pack to the village pharmacy for his demented wife who in no way needs an antibiotic to the larger ones, like MD's who deliver pain control on a sliding income scale. The poor and poorly connected get pain, misery, depression and ongoing humiliation. The rich get pain control and Zofran so they can continue enjoying life.

Bundbuster
(3,205 posts)The only exercise he's gotten in the last 30 years is constantly flapping that anus mouth, spewing lies and hatred for anyone not kissing his counterfeit ring, and hauling his lard ass in and out of golf carts.
His facial sphincter has gotten plenty of exercise over the years on his McDonalds diet.

For Joe Biden is in very good physical condition, while the defendent is evidence of every risk factor for a stroke of heart attack.

(73,627 posts)that the DU community required a bit of laughter at this time. Something we all can agree on.
I was admittedly in the middle of one of my long and tedious essays, when I heard some jack ass-kissing cult member blathering about what impressive physical shape the defendent was in. I could not let it pass.

(73,627 posts)an important question. One that "mainstream" journalist wouldn't dare to touch.
My son had to bring his dog to the vet yesterday, for an emergency visit. It turned out fine, though she has to take some medication. The vet advised to put the medication in a treat. So you think that his enablers place the medication under the cheese on his burgers?
prodigitalson
(2,432 posts)and when you see him incoherently slurring words, that's when he is coming down off the speed and using benzos to smooth the glide path downward.
I have been around people who do this (overuse/snort their adderal, which is amphetamine), and then hit the benzos.
Their behaivior and speech patterns are just like tfg, but without the fascism.
Warpy
(111,367 posts)than the civil justice system he's weaponized against his enemies for years.
Am I enjoying the show? Why, yes, I am. People in NY and New England have a long history of despising him and with good reason.
H2O Man
(73,627 posts)I wasn't aware that the defendent existed until he became business partners with the human parasite Don King, and began promoting fights on HBO in NJ. I remember at the time that Mike Tyson was spinning out of control, due to taking massive quantities of cocaine. It didn't bring out Iron Mike's calm and rational side, most experts agreed, and when he struck King -- hard, for Mike was powerful -- Don King looked to drop him.
Behind King's back, the defendent attempted to sign Tyson to a contract. Even in the state of mind he was in, Mike never considered it.
Thus, since 2015, I've wished that he had contracted with Mike, and suffered the consequences.
Warpy
(111,367 posts)I would have gone to a sports bar to see Tyson splatter pudge all over the place. And I don't drink or have any appreciation of sports.
H2O Man
(73,627 posts)Saudi Arabia has pretty much bought heavyweight boxing in the last 18 months, including promoting the heavyweight champion recently fightin a guy in his boxing debut. I think they hold influence over the defendent. Mike is in a good place these days, and that includes his getting himself into good shape. He is impressive on the heavy bag.
I can dream, can't I?
Simeon Salus
(1,154 posts)How is that even theoretically possible?
H2O Man
(73,627 posts)If you are a chronic liar -- and the defendent ranks as a pathological chronic liar -- and your supporters have suspended all rational thought, it is easy to do.

Dementia comes to mind. No proof of course, other than the obvious daily insanity.
H2O Man
(73,627 posts)I had attempted to avoid any serious comment on my part here, but you raise an interesting and important point with "stress Eater."
Sociopaths like excitement, and will do whatever is required to avoid boredom. But the key is they need to feel that they control the chaos. And as my interviews with Dr. Bandy Lee documented, this defines the defendent.
However, once they recognize that things are out of their control -- and that "enemies" are in a position to control them, they panic.
Per dementia, I am no expert. Nor am I really familiar with the stuff that McDonals's serves, as I wouold not feed that shit to a dog. But I do not think that even consuming it once per week could help but poison the sacred temple of one's body.
