The Wall Street Journal has a paywall, but chances are you've seen folks buzzing on social media about the paper's big story on Benedict Donald medical state. Which seems, um, not good.
He takes too much aspirin and doesn't like his compression socks, we learn. The article also repeats testimony from RNC chair Joe Gruters, who in 2024 saw Donald eat a McDonald's Big Mac, a Quarter Pounder, a Filet-o-Fish sandwich, and French fries.... all at one sitting.
Good grief. If Trump didn't play golf — which as we all know he prefers to working — he'd be as big as William Howard Taft. (That's four guys sitting in Taft's bathtub in the photo above.)
As always when you let Donald do the talking, the Journal piece has a lot of sketchy assertions. For example, there's no way that the aspirin-taking explains the constant bruising on the backs of his tiny hands. The most plausible explanation, to us, is that he's receiving Leqembi or Kisunla, drugs that are administered every two or four weeks via an IV. Both are meant to slow the progression of dementia.
Although Donald assures everyone that he's in "perfect health," stories like the Journal's are slowly surfacing. The media will probably never treat Trump as harshly as they did Joe Biden on this question — until it's too late. It's crossed our minds: Will New Year's Day 2027 find the country wondering if JD Vance likes cheap gold gewgaws and Saddam-sized ballrooms? We cats switch our tails, and we wait.
