We are the sum total of what we ingest, (physically and mentally), what we do, what we think and how we live. In Donald Trump’s case this has added up to being a morbidly obese, ignorant, 78-year-old convicted felon — and political cult leader up for a second term in the White House. Evidently the cult can only learn in the School Of Hard Knocks and so they’re about to get a Ph.D. in why you need to be careful who you vote for. The next four years will teach a lot of MAGAs, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
Meanwhile, the president-elect is not looking so well. This is nothing new. He’s got an egregious diet of fast food and unless Bobby Kennedy, Jr. can get Trump to do a 180 on his eating and exercise habits, the next few years should be challenging for Trump. But who knows? Maybe he’ll take another cognitive test and “ace” it and talk about it for several years. I would not be surprised. Meanwhile, he’s got the same kind of bruises Mitch McConnell had when McConnell was falling down in his old Kentucky home.

Blood thinners cause bruising. So did Trumpty fall down and go boom? Hard to tell. Or, maybe he put his fist into a wall when the stock market crashed right after his election. And his crazy talk about BRICs countries and threatening the dollar as a global currency hasn’t assuaged anybody’s fears of an unstable stock market or economy for the next four years.
Trump over the weekend took to Truth Social, saying, “The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER.”
“We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy,” he added. “They can go find another ‘sucker!’ There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America.”
Eric L. Robinson, former intelligence and policy professional, said, “If this man ever posts ‘Global South’, a teardrop of blood will emerge from my ear.”
Rachel Ziemba, an Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American Security, said that an “actual common currency was unlikely given divergence within the growing group, but payment experimentation for a few countries was in test/pilot.”
Journalist Michael Tracey wrote, “The idea that Trump had some secret affinity for BRICS is one of the dumbest theories that ever got circulated over the past several years.”
“Does Trump strike you as somebody who wishes to curtail US hegemonic power?” Tracey asked Saturday. “Just as dumb as the idea that he aspires to dissolve NATO.”
Geopolitical strategist Velina Tchakarova said, “Trump has officially confirmed what everybody was blaming the US for – the weaponization of the Dollar. In fact, BRICS will further continue to deepen trade ties with each other and third partners by avoiding the Dollar for exactly that reason – vulnerabilities and overexposure.”
He’ll huff and he’ll puff and he’ll threaten to blow the world economy down — and may succeed in ruffling some feathers. But what will really happen is that the world will be looking at America side-eyed for the next few years and working around us. And I don’t blame them. Trump has left them no choice.
Does Trump understand that the “R” in “BRICS” refers to Russia? The other countries that originally comprised the group, incidentally, are Brazil, India, China and South Africa.
Currently, the group has four other members: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. There are dozens of other countries that have considered applying (including Saudi Arabia and a couple which considered joining but have rescinded their applications.
Wonder what’ll happen when Trump tries to push massive tariffs against the BRICS countries and Putin objects?
Sure looks like blood thinners to me. Perhaps he’s got A-Fib. I know for myself having been on a blood thinner medication for some years AND also having spent time hospitalized and getting continual IVs sometimes they will put a “line” in the back of your hand instead of the inner crook of your elbow. Since there is more than one “input” in the thing they tape to the back of your hand (so they can administer more than one IV drug at the same time) it can leave quite a mark when it’s taken out and the tape is removed. Especially if you’re on a blood thinner. Believe me bruises are common when on blood thinners and it takes very little to get a quite noticeable one. What I find interesting is that prospect of Trump getting an IV in the back of his hand – something where he was given multiple IV treatments at once. That big discolored area on the back of his hand sure likes like that was the case.
Let’s face it. We’ve seen times during the year when he’s looked ghastly. I really do wonder just how bad his health is.
As for taking advice from RFK Jr. don’t make me laugh. Hell, Trump shouldn’t let “faux Bobby” anywhere near him. This is after all a dude who was driving home with the family and saw a beached whale rotting on the sand not far from the highway. So he grabbed a chainsaw out of the back (who drives around on family trips to a larger family gathering with a fucking chain saw?) and cut the baby whale’s head off and strapped it to the top of the car. His kids got doused in nasty whale juices during the rest of the drive home. But their weird ass dad wanted to dissect it later!
Just think of the fight we might see between Ronny Jackson and RFK Jr. over getting to autopsy Trump when the time comes!
I like my superman unbruised! Hey maggots…you’ve completed only half the formula…FAFO…you’ve phucked around and now will find out. That’s not fake news, an alternative fact, or any other imaginary conspiracy your fevered brains can invent. Welcome to reality you goddless evil mutherphuckers. The laughing you hear as you scream WTF???…that will be me. Oh and when the Fatman falls out of his golf cart with a massive coronary or stroke…welcome to JD’s world. He doesn’t even like you. Evil darkness on the edge of town is waiting for you.
I don’t believe he’ll survive a full four years. If he doesn’t fulfill the obligations to Russia – Putin said he’ll be assassinated. It might behoove the GQP to 25th amendment him if his dementia gets worse (which it will.) No matter what goes on……we are in a huge world of hurt.
THANKS Ursula… lovely pic. especially w red around knuckles. Will ask ER DOC D what she thinks. Looks like a blown IV to me.
