Trump doesn't strike me as particularly unhealthy.  I think it's more wishful thinking than reality.  For a man his age he seems to have a lot of energy, which is hard to maintain without being healthy.  He's here to stay for a while.

He's overweight and doesn't particularly exercise other than golf.  He reportedly sleeps very little.  He otherwise though never really revealed his health records so we can't otherwise say.
Yeah and I could be wrong but my immediate suspicion of an elderly NY real estate guy with a lot of energy is that there may be something chemical going on there :P

He is probably freebasing Regeneron.

He's probably getting pretty good medical care as well.

The best care unpaid bills can get you. Like his lawyers, his doctors aren't exactly the best and the brightest.

Good medical care, so he's not going to die from an undiagnosed cancer or anything.

But is he following his doctor's advice?  His diet is suspect, though again we can't really know for sure what he eats most days.

There is an election today in California (it's a recall thing, which is bullshit in my opinion). The Republican, Larry Elders is already claiming that if he loses it will be because of electoral fraud.  The damage is done.  We have a significant portion of the country that no longer believes in elections.  How they believe they should retake political power in this country is not something that is pleasant to dwell upon.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Better yet, Elders is claiming statistical analysis shows voter fraud.  The votes haven't been counted yet.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Trump's already said (I think yesterday) there's a massive fraud underway in California - which I'm sure Republican strategists were thrilled with from a GOTV perspective:


So now it's probably a loyalty thing.

I wonder to what degree the Supreme Court is in the bag for a GOP coup in the next two to ten years.

I think people who indulge in cocaine don't make it to 75.  They tend to drop dead in their 50ies from cardiovascular damage.

I've never heard cocaine for Trump.  Don Jr is a different story.

But to the extent I heard Trump used drugs it was adderall or ephedrine.
