I was about to say the head line was missing the thing about taxes.. The GOP as a whole wants to hide where the super pac money is coming from, at least in the past they did. I haven't heard about this recently maybe everyone just gave up on what the supreme court blessed us with.
Because he’s probably the pharmaceutical equivalent of Bernie from weekend at Bernie’s.
I’m sure he’s on a tailored cocktail of drugs, provided by the government healthcare he gets, that’s designed to give him the best quality of life possible. All well and good for a man who should be enjoying the last years of retirement. I’m sure most of that cocktail comes with the stipulation that he shouldn’t operate heavy machinery though, so if they release his medical records it’ll be obvious to anyone with two neurons that if he’s no longer qualified to operate a golf cart, maybe he shouldn’t be driving the entire country.
That he doesn't have to do any of that shit to win. His voters don't give a fuck about it. He just needs to keep hating on immigrants, gays, women, and anyone smart, and he can win anyway.
Prove they don't have a terminal illness that is gonna kill you before your term ends. If you have cancer with a 1 year life expectancy the voters need to know that the VP will be taking over soon. Also those with nothing to live for might be quick to launch nukes just because they know they will be dead soon anyways. Oh one more if you are on chemo maybe you won't be able to dedicate your time to actually making America great because you are hugging the golden throne.
Porcelain throne. I don't think the toilet at the white house or hospital you get your chemo at has a gold toilet. And if it does, I really want to shit in it to say I did
In the 80s republicans hid Reagan's severe dementia and carted him around Weekend-at-Bernie's-style, bypassing the normal safeguards and Presidential succession stuff. So it's kind of pertinent
I do think it's a bit silly, but it's apparently something that presidential candidates have done for decades, just some way to "prove" that they are physically fit to lead and aren't going to suddenly croak partway through their administration from some condition they're covering up. As if that actually serves as any real proof when their doctor will basically publish whatever they tell them to, but easy to see how the whole practice gets weaponized during an election when "everyone does it".
Coverups come to light eventually. Remember the outrage when it was revealed that President Bartlett had MS? Some presidents like Reagan or FDR get lucky and it doesn't come out until they've left office.
Kinda sucks though. That time I went to the doctor for a recurrent hot red rash on the back of my scrotum is just going to draw the wrong kind of attention when I run for office.
A lot of people didn't even know Roosevelt was crippled when they voted him into office and he turned out pretty ok.
I can't blame someone for wanting to keep their health issues private. I have two chronic conditions that would likely cause me to loose my job or at the very least not be hired by many other places if the wrong peoptknew about the.
Trump is clearly demented but was in poor mental health even when he was president. The fools voting for him have just bought into the hate and fear he represents. At this point his performance andental state are completely irrelevant to them. They would vote for his corpse stretched over one of Elons robots at this point.
