sick sick sick, The results of Trump’s physical: narcissism & revenge by Ann Telnaes, April 12, 2025, substack
Susan C Shea:
Of course, his doctors aren’t going to be fired because they will say what he wants them to – remember his past check up reports?!
Mary Roeser:
… Love Satan hiding in the Convicted Felon’s mouth!! Good job!!
Jan:
The look on the poor doctor’s face is priceless.
Michael Beyer:
Hopefully the doc will prescribe a gallon of chlorine for his STD.
stuffin:
I’m worried, you are now an enemy of the United States because of your criticism of Trump. I hope you do not encounter any trouble trying to return home.
Ann Telnaes:
Me too
Constance Story:
This cartoon is especially fascinating to me. As a child growing up in a rural area of Northern KY, my mother was the county nurse. There was an elderly, morbidly obese man in our small town. He had an awkward, staggering gait with a stooped, head-forward stance. He rambled endlessly in nonsensical nearly incoherent childlike phrases. He had florid skin and was frightening to look at. One day I asked my mother what was wrong with him? She told me to be kind, he could not help his appearance and demeanmor. He was an end stage syphilis patient. Fast forward fifty years. I’m a health care professional living in the city and hosting a fundraiser in my home for the man who, thanks be to God, became our Governor. One of our guests was a fellow Nurse Practioner who specializes in infectious disease. As she and I chatted the subject of trump came up. She said, “You know, since the advent of antibiotics you just don’t see this in the US anymore but I swear, based on case studies I’ve read, he looks and sounds like an end-stage syphilis patient.”
Curtis P:
I like the little devil inside p47’s mouth, brought on since his last administration, as he has all the classic symptoms of syphilis. Soon he’ll be fishing in the swimming pool at Mar-a-Lago just like Al Capone.
I fear for the girls and women he reportedly raped. Billionaires, rapist MAGAts and Putin need a madman in power, the more mad the better to do their evil deeds, the richer they get, and the faster they destroy America, Greenland, Panama, Canada, Ukraine, etc.
Trump, dementia and the duty to warn by Sabrina Haake, April 13, 2025, Raw Story, MSN
To ensure that the United States will always be led by a coherent, functioning President, the Twenty-Fifth Amendment provides for the prompt, orderly, and democratic transfer of executive power in the event the president is incapacitated, physically or mentally. Trump’s tariff debacle, where he thrust out his chest, flung economic incoherence at the world, then flip flopped only two days later, was the strongest evidence yet- in a roiling sea of evidence– that he is mentally incapacitated.
Despite inheriting the strongest post-covid economy in the world, Trump keeps insisting that the US economy is broken and in need of saving.He insists global trading partners who sell us more than they buy from us- even countries that are a fraction of our size- are “taking advantage.”
Trump’s tariff drama was so asinine, he’s either self-dealing or insane. Frankly, although they are not mutually exclusive, I’d prefer the former. I only wish that rumors swirling in the media today, suggesting Trump’s tariffs were a hustle, an insider scheme meant to enrich his backers, were true. Trump being a self-dealing crook poses less danger to the world than him making than no sense at all.It’s not Trump running the show and it’s not him I fear. I loath him, he’s a rapist, a pedophile, a self proclaimed abuser of women and girls, a criminal, a liar, and more with a hideous heart. But I do not fear him, I fear his masters: Nazi Musk, Putin, the raping rich, Netanyahu, and mass murder enabling racist hate-filled evangelical Zionists. They not only control him, they own him.
Dementia and the Duty to Warn
Leaders of the EU are too intelligent to sneer out loud at Trump’s flip flop on tariffs. Aware of his deranged lust for revenge, they are reluctant to utter the truth about his economic ignorance. But the world is aware, even if Americans aren’t, that our president is deranged.
Because Trump’s administration has refused to release his medical records, other mental health professionals have come forward with their own assessments. The emerging consensus is that Trump, showing cognitive decline, is presenting signs of advanced dementia.
Psychotherapist Dr. John Gartner, former Johns Hopkins University Medical School faculty, is so alarmed about Trump’s cognitive impairment that he circulated a petition addressing it among thousands of psychiatrists, psychologists and other credentialed mental health professionals. Gartner wrote last year that Trump shows “progressive deterioration in memory, thinking, ability to use language, behavior, and both gross and fine motor skills,” adding that he felt an ethical “obligation to warn the public, and urge the media to cover this national emergency.”
Trump struggles to “even finish a sentence,” Gartner explained in an interview with MindSite News, elaborating that, “When we’re diagnosing dementia, what we need to see is a deterioration of someone’s own baseline of functioning. What we see that a lot of people don’t appreciate is that when Donald Trump was younger in the 1980s, he was actually quite articulate. His thoughts were logical and related: now they’re tangential. He goes off on these ramblings where he is confabulating things – weird things in which he’ll talk about Venezuelans and mental hospitals, and then he’ll talk about sharks and batteries or the late, great Hannibal Lector and Silence of the Lambs.”
Dr. Gartner notes how Trump is “losing his capacity for coherent speech,” identifying “dozens and dozens of Trump’s phonemic paraphasias, in which you use sounds in place of an actual word (a hallmark of brain damage and dementia).”
Trump will say something like ‘mishiz’ for missiles, or ‘Chrishus’ for Christmas, because he can’t complete the word. Then we see also a lot of semantic paraphasias, in which he uses a word incorrectly, as in ‘the oranges of the situation’ because it rhymes with ‘the origins of the situation.’”
Mental health professionals, mainstream media, sound the alarm
Main stream media, including the New York Times, have also questioned Trump’s mental state. In October 2024, the NYT reported that Trump now uses more “negative words than positive words compared with 2016, which can be another indicator of cognitive change.” And he curses far more often than he did when he first ran, “a trend that could reflect what experts call disinhibition,” another sign of dementia. They cited a study by health care news outlet, Stat, that reports similar findings.
Newsweek’s article, “Donald Trump Dementia Evidence ‘Overwhelming,” cites New York psychologist Suzanne Lachmann. Lackmann describes how Trump “seemingly forgets how sentence began and invents something in the middle” resulting in “an incomprehensible word salad”—a behavior she argues is observed “frequently in patients who have dementia.”
The Dementia Society notes that “forgetting names and dates is normal for people who are aging. But “confusing people and generations” is a sign of advanced dementia. During the campaign, Trump confused Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi on eight separate occasions, and said he was running against Obama. He said his father was born in Germany, when it was his grandfather who was born in Germany.
The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump
With the assistance of other psychiatrists and credentialled mental health professionals, Dr. Bandy Lee wrote, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President near the conclusion of Trump’s first presidency. In the book, psychiatric experts came forward due to what they saw as their professional moral and civic “duty to warn” America about Trump’s dementia.This duty, they argued, supersedes their competing professional duty of neutrality.
Since then, more than 3000 credentialed mental health professionals have added their signatures to a petition concluding that the president has probable dementia.
They write, “Donald Trump is showing unmistakable signs strongly suggesting dementia, based on his public behavior and informant reports that show progressive deterioration in memory, thinking, ability to use language, behavior, and both gross and fine motor skills…. his vocabulary is impoverished, he often has difficulty finishing a thought, sentence or even a word. Typical of dementia patients he perseverates and overuses superlatives and filler words…”
Congress needs to act before Trump gets red-button happy
Trump, who caused global destruction with his mindless tariff wars, now has the sole authority to launch nuclear weapons as the Commander in Chief.
Evidence of his cognitive decline is everywhere. Mental health professionals have sounded the alarm, and met their professional duty to warn the world about Trump’s dementia.
Congress now has a duty to listen to the professionals. Republicans, on the whole, have a duty to act.They won’t. I bet they – Putin, and the billionaires taking advantage to steal billions from ordinary Americans, love that their orange Hitler is brain rotted. He’s easy to operate, like an Israeli drone killing Palestinian kids.
Section 4 of the 25 Amendment allows the Vice President and either the Cabinet, or a body approved “by law” formed by Congress, to jointly agree that “the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” Democrats need to proceed under this clause, and frightened republicans need to join in before Trump commits another, potentially world annihilating, blunder.

Trump in ‘excellent cognitive and physical health,’ doctor **says**, White House physician credits ‘active lifestyle’ of 78-year-old avid golfer by The Associated Press, Apr 13, 2025, CBC News
Donald Trump’s doctor says the oldest man to be elected U.S. president is “fully fit” to serve as commander-in-chief as the White House released the results of Trump’s physical exam from Friday.The Nazi admin is one of endless lies and law violations. I don’t trust a word out of the orange madman or his staff/doctor/enablers.
Trump is 78, and his physician, navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, cited what he said is Trump’s “active lifestyle” and said it “continues to contribute significantly” to the Republican president’s well-being. Trump turns 79 on June 14.
In a report released Sunday, the doctor said in a summary that Trump “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of commander-in-chief and head of state.”OMG! Trump has exhibited a rotted brain for years and he was stupid to begin with.
The results showed Trump has dropped 20 pounds since his last physical as president in 2020. He weighed 244 pounds back then and is now down to 224 pounds.
The exam summary noted that Trump previously had cataract surgery. A common procedure among aging people, the surgery typically involves removing a cloudy eye lens and replacing it with an artificial lens to help clear up vision.
Barbabella said Trump’s days include participating in multiple meetings, public appearances, media availabilities and “frequent victories in golf events.” Trump is an avid golfer and said he recently won tournaments played at clubs he owns in Florida.
Trump’s cholesterol levels have improved over timeDid this doc admit Fanta Fascist has had COVID-19 a number of times, which can harm the brain? Not much in the orange noggin, as evidenced by the shit he spews when he speaks, helped by the medications rosuvastatin and ezetimibe.
At his physical in January 2018, his total cholesterol was 223. In early 2019, the reading came in at 196 and it stood at 167 in 2020. Today it is 140. Ideally, total cholesterol should be less than 200.
Elevated blood pressure
His blood pressure in this physical exam was 128 over 74. That is considered elevated, and people in that situation are likely to develop high blood pressure unless steps are taken to control the condition.
Trump has a resting heart rate of 62 beats per minute, in line with previous tests. A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 beats to 100 beats per minute, and generally, a lower rate implies better cardiovascular fitness.
Trump also takes aspirin, which can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
The Dangers of Roundup: Investigating Pesticide Use on Golf Courses
…
The Use of Roundup on Golf Courses
Roundup, a herbicide containing glyphosate as its active ingredient, is widely used on golf courses in the United States. In fact, it is one of the most commonly applied herbicides on golf courses globally. Golf course managers and turf professionals use Roundup to control weeds and unwanted vegetation on the course. The non-selective nature of Roundup makes it an effective herbicide for controlling a broad range of weeds and grasses, making it a popular choice for golf course maintenance. In addition to its use on golf courses, Roundup is also used in agriculture, landscaping, and home gardening. It is important to note that the use of Roundup has been a topic of controversy due to concerns about its potential health and environmental impacts. …
