PatSeg
(47,613 posts)"We had a very nice dinner" and "Beautiful piece of chocolate cake". He uses food references in the oddest contexts. I think he is rather obsessed with food.

Demtexan
(1,588 posts)He hates everyone but his daughter/wife.
He has it coming.
He will not escape this mess he made even in death.
He got has got Putin and FBI on his ass.
He wanted something he will never have.
Respect like President Obama has.
His past is catching up with him.
It is all about him and his brand which is now dead.
He has nothing.
His family waiting for him to die.
No one will miss him.

(65,490 posts)international tour short, too, because he lacks sufficient stamina to handle it?
hlthe2b
(102,379 posts)which, is not uncommonly used to keep oneself calm during public speaking to important/unfamiliar/stress-inducing audiences. With jet lag on top of it, a 70 yo man is going to be rather "out of it".
The problem with it is that use of beta blockers "dulls" the mind a bit too--not like a sedative, but it prevents the adrenaline rush that usually makes for a more engaging performance from those speakers capable of doing so.
Not saying there may not be many things wrong with Trump, both physically and mentally, but I"m not seeing what the source link claims.

(60,010 posts)Ive watched him a few times..he reads a line written on the teleprompter, stops, reads the new line like a new sentence, completely screws up inflection.
Turns out he CAN read, just does not to, prefers his info. come from a voice, preferably on tv.
Or the ones in his head...who knows?

My vote is for pudgy.
Buns_of_Fire
(17,197 posts)I know, I know, he says he doesn't drink, but it always struck me as weird that an alleged teetotaler would affix his hallowed brand name to an alcoholic product.

(1,588 posts)Stress is a killer.
womanofthehills
(8,779 posts)sounds like he can't get enough air. Either stress, allergies, heart problems, cold, etc. He also could be having a reaction to whatever drug he is on to make him talk like the walking dead.
Demtexan
(1,588 posts)I am sure he was drugged.
I am sure he is a mess otherwise.
It was reported he was yelling and screaming at the white house.
Now FBI is after him.
Putin can not be happy.
I think he knows he is toast.
Stress makes everything worse.
