Diet Coke, McDonald's, golf, cable news, and feelings of utter despair.

I Lived Like Trump for a Day and It Almost Killed Me

The stress is eating him alive.

At least I could walk away from my stress sometimes.

He cannot, he has it 24 a day.

The emails are killing him.

I thought he was having a heart attack.

What he is having is stress attacks.

He bet he is on something to.

His blood pressure must be really high.

I am betting a stroke or heart attack.

I was younger and in good shape.

I can laugh about it now.

He is having nervous breakdown.

Only fair he does.
