The next health record anyone will ever see of that man is his death certificate. He’ll never share anything, especially if it can illuminate his obvious weakness and frailty.
But he scooped 1 1/2 McDonald’s fries, he’s a real blue collar boy now!
I really don’t understand why anybody is demanding anything of him, as if he was some normal candidate who is running for president. He’s not.
He is a traitor who is running to stay out of prison, and because he personally appointed a bunch of them to their stations, the agents of the US “Justice System” are allowing this. Demanding Trump provide medical records, as if he were just some normal, legitimate candidate, is in a sense normalizing him. He’s not a normal candidate. He’s a symptom of the rot at the core of our democracy. We should be treating him as such.

That rot is ‘people being allowed to vote for a platform of explicit hatred and totalitarianism’. That platform is popular enough to get many popular votes, and take the EC because the EC is shit. You can’t throw that away without dismissing the ‘concerns’ (i.e. ‘I want to hate Mexicans!’) of a substantial chunk of voters. I’m not sure that’s easy.
Yes AND that’s the same got systematically breaking poor, vulnerable people for decades to architect this moment. Starts with maybe around a third of the country being purposefully undereducated from birth by republican state legislatures working to gut our public education offering to create an ignorant, fearful population that’s easily manipulated to act against their own best interest.
It’s sustained by a social media engagement loop that hyper-efficiently delivers the exact propaganda required, exactly when people are most susceptible to its impacts.
Ends with our for-profit health care system access being tied to employment as blackmail. Choice is to literally show up and get in line or risk bankruptcy and death with a single bout of illness or injury.
The balance that the systems of power here work to strike is keeping enough people just distracted or comfortable enough to have something worth losing. And then trying to distract/divide us with fake cultural outrage and petty ignorant racism based in that same cultivated fear.
The only war is the class war.
Yeah I’m pretty weary of the press covering him as if he’s a normal presidential candidate. I understand we have to pay attention to what he says and does because he has such a following that are rabid and ready to burn it all to the ground. But that doesn’t mean we wring our hands when he yet again breaks some norm of politicking. We should stop expecting normal. Just report on his insanity so the sane people can better prepare themselves.
And besides, he’s probably had to be treated for stds multiple times recently and just doesn’t want the world to know.
I mean, he was hanging around with that walking genital wart Laura Loomer recently.
People are demanding it because he’s a candidate for one of the most powerful jobs in the world. It doesn’t matter if he’s a fuckfaced rapist pedophile conman pathological liar or thief. He needs to be held to the highest fucking standard imaginable
Good luck with that.
“Frankly he should have been dead by now” … his GP probably.
“So what you’re saying is I’m indestructible?”
“No, even a slight breeze could-”
“'…indestructible.”
“I bring you love.”
“It’s bringing love! Kill it!”
“I wish he was dead by now” - whoever has to change his diaper
But he’s in the greatest health of anyone, ever.
Guys, relax! He really wants to release them, but they are being audited at the moment. He’ll release them after the election. Pinky swear!
Stfu healthcare professionals… no one is entitled to anyone’s health records. And if the US wants that to change, change the darned law. Mandate a health check by government appointed physician to be able to run then … or something. I’m sure it won’t be abused… ever…
Trump is a walking health risk, to himself and others… this is just stupid.
everyone is entitled to a president’s everything. it’s important
Well yeah, doh.
But to be fair, he is correct.that it requires the law to be updated. It should be an obligatory requirement; you want to be president? Show your tax records. Show your health records. Give up your companies, sell your stocks, etc
It should all be required by law, but US laws are… Interesting
I think that’s how it should be, but it isn’t. Not doing the things someone else outlines should be a requirement for filing for candidacy. Untill they update the law, medical records are private and nonya business.
