Donald Trump has made a bizarre confession about his own health at an event at the White House.

The US president was addressing a group of firefighters when he went on a tangent about personal vices.

“If you don’t drink or you don’t take drugs or if you don’t smoke, there’s no problem,” Trump said.

“I have other problems, I have some very severe problems. But those are not one of them.”

“I don’t want to add them to the list, 'cos if I did I guarantee I wouldn’t be here right now.”

    Geez, I’m starting to feel sorry for him…

    “I have some very severe problems. The doctor says my asshole is on the outside now. Look at this. This looks like skin, but it’s not. It’s lining, they call it lining. It’s very beautiful, some say the most beautiful, most natural looking thing that looks like skin but it’s not skin, it’s asshole lining. All over my body. No skin to be seen anywhere, just lining. You think it’s skin but it’s lining. The doctors, they say they’ve never seen anything like it. They want to study it. It’s the mark of a stable genius I think because they want to study it like they study Einstein’s brain. You get to see it on TV but they want to see it up close. Lining, they call it. My asshole lining covering me completely. They say it’s genius. I don’t know, but that’s what they say.”

    I doubt he thinks his pedophillia is a problem. He’s probably not even talking about his health. I bet he considers his biggest problem is his desire to get fucked in the ass.

    “Some say I have the very best illnesses. Biden would say he does, but I do. But I do, the biggest illnesses. One person said to me, they said “Mr Trump, you’re a sick man” and they’re right, I am. Even more than they know!”

    Just don’t croak before the midterms, or the GOP could get an updrift out of getting rid of this boat anchor around their neck.

    It’s fine with me if the midterm results give him a nice stroke that turns him into a vacant banana.

    Trump is a narcissist to the core. Start from that point. The only things that are likely to be problems to him are his own personal health and anything that threatens his status. That could be anything from him knowing he’s getting dementia to “If the dems win a majority in the midterms they could make life hard for me.”

      The internal struggle between wanting to use his illnesses for attention and wanting to appear “strong” must be epic.

        IMO he’s so deeply narcissist he’s going to be the angry old demetia patient lashing out at everyone for his problems, real or imagined. Maybe a few passing spasms of self awareness, but then right back to anger and blame.

    I honestly don’t take this as health concerns. I think it’s a severely depraved thing, like possibly raping more children than we knew or maybe even killing people. Who tf knows. But I don’t think it’s health related. It’s nasty vile evil shit related.

      The part about having 6 ambulance that he’s forbidden to help his biggest supporters, and still for the love of Christ going on about cognitive tests, and apparently still taking them, are absolutely not things healthy people say.

        Absolutely he’s not healthy at all. I just feel he’s talking about other things here, but it’s probably a soup of disease where he’s just talking about himself as a whole tbh now that I have read it again after my breakfast.

          Yeah, these vices give you problems. I’m not going to say my vices as the problem is that I would not be here.

          How do you interpret that as illness?

    Trump:

    “If people get sick in the audience, they leave them alone. You know what they call them? Collateral damage,” He then pointed out someone in the crowd. "If that person right over there, he looks like s— actually. He looks like he’s ready to have a heart attack. " "If he actually had a heart attack, you know what my doctors would do, they would follow the president and leave him alone. “I’ve got like six ambulances and they won’t use one for anybody else.”

    What a vile man.

      I don’t even understand that at all. For an emergency, are six ambulances somehow better than one? What are the other 5 going to do when transporting him?

    Its kinda bugging me that he used the words collateral damage when it comes to citizens dying. He parrots a lot of stuff he’s heard in meetings recently and its just a bit unsettling. What is the collateral damage he was likely recently told about?

    This is nothing to do with health.

    This is a subtle reference to how one of his vices is raping children.

    I’m Italian and let me tell you I know this pattern: he’s got a sex problem. It came in his mind when he was talking about vice, so that’s why he couldn’t list it. Everybody knew, the crowd was alpha males in his mind so he had to show off. He is aware of what caused the fall of Berlusconi, women.

    This sounds like a weird sympathy pre-election card; it might be true, but bringing it up right before an election is nothing less than what he’s always done — game the system.
