I'm probably alone in that opinion.

And Trump looks goofy in anything - so it doesn't matter where he wears his tie.

Of course, with the company he's with they'd not notice anything unrelated to "tax cuts" unless DJ just dropped to the floor.

BTW, what's with the "blue" tie (Dems color). Shouldn't he have on a red tie?

I would vote for encephalopathy (ammonia on the brain) caused by a fatty liver. I know someone with encephalopathy and his behavior is so strange, lies and a sort of senility. But tRump’s eyes look clear.

Your Prisondent tRump doll says one of three sentences when you pull his tie:

"Feed me, mommy, feed me Big Macs!"

I'm pretending to be hating myself for being such a bitch, but the orange anus seems to be hanging kinda slack in that picture. He's missing his usual pucker.

It'd be a real pisser if he was a vegetable and didn't realize it when he finally gets perp walked.

There will be no doctors let within 1000 yards of him, and even if they were, they would be of the ilk that would not tell the truth. The citizens of this country will never know what has been diagnosed, what will be diagnosed, etc. Dump would have to drop over on live TV and even then, we would be lied to.

McConnell just farted and it's the first time Trump got a whiff of a turtle-fart. In the picture, he's holding his breath.

See the guy behind McConnell? He passed out just after the picture was taken. The douchebag on the left is telling Trump, "That wasn't me you know."

Old drunks are bad for this, IMHO, for similar reasons that Donnie would be: They don't want to be told to change! Or that they can't have what they impulsively want, whether it's vodka or 3000 calorie snacks, that trigger the smaller TIA's.
Given the stress on his liver, he may also be flirting with pancreatitis.

So he's often on the wrong side of his blood sugar. His weight and physique say that he's at least pre-diabetic. And he sulks. When you occasionally feel like hammered shit for random reasons, and you ain't quite right anyway, A TIA might have to be pretty major to get thru the underlying nasty.

Definitely something is off. I wish him great suffering, but I don't want him to die before he and Pence are impeached, and Ryan and McConnell go to jail.
