    That he doesn’t have to do any of that shit to win. His voters don’t give a fuck about it. He just needs to keep hating on immigrants, gays, women, and anyone smart, and he can win anyway.

    Why hasn’t Trump released his medical records? By all accounts, he actually is a miracle of science. He has one of the worst diets in history, but is still alive and kicking in his late 70s when he should have probably had a coronary in the 1980s.

      Because he’s probably the pharmaceutical equivalent of Bernie from weekend at Bernie’s.

      I’m sure he’s on a tailored cocktail of drugs, provided by the government healthcare he gets, that’s designed to give him the best quality of life possible. All well and good for a man who should be enjoying the last years of retirement. I’m sure most of that cocktail comes with the stipulation that he shouldn’t operate heavy machinery though, so if they release his medical records it’ll be obvious to anyone with two neurons that if he’s no longer qualified to operate a golf cart, maybe he shouldn’t be driving the entire country.

      I was about to say the head line was missing the thing about taxes… The GOP as a whole wants to hide where the super pac money is coming from, at least in the past they did. I haven’t heard about this recently maybe everyone just gave up on what the supreme court blessed us with.

          That does play to the petty nature of Trump, but nothing even close to what would disturb his base enough to lose support.

          MAGAs would love to see such transverse disrespect.

      I think people here think you’re defending Trump, but it’s true, Harris supporters have no reason to believe anything out of Trump’s mouth. If you are defending Trump, a good “ram a cactus up your urethra” to you.

      Prove they don’t have a terminal illness that is gonna kill you before your term ends. If you have cancer with a 1 year life expectancy the voters need to know that the VP will be taking over soon. Also those with nothing to live for might be quick to launch nukes just because they know they will be dead soon anyways. Oh one more if you are on chemo maybe you won’t be able to dedicate your time to actually making America great because you are hugging the golden throne.

            It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor of Mankind has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the vast Imperium of Man for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that he may never truly die.Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance.

      In the 80s republicans hid Reagan’s severe dementia and carted him around Weekend-at-Bernie’s-style, bypassing the normal safeguards and Presidential succession stuff. So it’s kind of pertinent

      I do think it’s a bit silly, but it’s apparently something that presidential candidates have done for decades, just some way to “prove” that they are physically fit to lead and aren’t going to suddenly croak partway through their administration from some condition they’re covering up. As if that actually serves as any real proof when their doctor will basically publish whatever they tell them to, but easy to see how the whole practice gets weaponized during an election when “everyone does it”.

        Coverups come to light eventually. Remember the outrage when it was revealed that President Bartlett had MS? Some presidents like Reagan or FDR get lucky and it doesn’t come out until they’ve left office.

          Their privacy is when they want to bang their spouse.

          Their medical records would be an important document to make decisions on who is going to represent the entire country. Medical conditions can effect future actions, especially when it is cognitive decline. People lose privacy when they run for office. Just like military members don’t have the same rights as civilians. They give up some rights to serve.

        I don’t think he actually has. He’s released “letters” from personal physicians touting his excellent health, but never a proper medical report.

            He’s got the best health, better than any other patient I’ve seen! Strong veins… he’s got all the bones, many very fine teeth! Beautiful daughter, Ivanka, very beautiful. Testosterone is off the charts, he’s a very human man… entirely muscle, completely pronoun free! They say he’s quite smart, went to Wharton, best student they’ve had in the history of colleges and universities before they all went woke. Big brain, almost too large for his head! Never has a patient score higher on a physical examination, and I’d know because I’m a doctor!

        Kinda sucks though. That time I went to the doctor for a recurrent hot red rash on the back of my scrotum is just going to draw the wrong kind of attention when I run for office.

        A lot of people didn’t even know Roosevelt was crippled when they voted him into office and he turned out pretty ok.

        I can’t blame someone for wanting to keep their health issues private. I have two chronic conditions that would likely cause me to loose my job or at the very least not be hired by many other places if the wrong peoptknew about the.

        Trump is clearly demented but was in poor mental health even when he was president. The fools voting for him have just bought into the hate and fear he represents. At this point his performance andental state are completely irrelevant to them. They would vote for his corpse stretched over one of Elons robots at this point.
