Have you seen the guy in the White House at the moment?

I've seen no evidence of Trump's physical decline. He swept Covid off as others his age croaked in a matter of days, and I'm not sure the drugs used were all that effective. Despite his lifestyle and feeding habits he seems to be pretty healthy.

Such is life in the Gerontocracy. Both parties are wheeling out their addled grandpas to duke it out.

Trump was hospitalized by covid. He didn't die, but it was more than a minor infection. I wonder what the figures are for other obese men of his age with regards to how many get as severely ill.

I think it would be hard to find a large sample of other men of that age who got the intensive treatment and care that any President can expect.

Boris Johnson is a fair bit younger and fitter and ended up in ICU.

Not a large sample, but maybe you meant a sample of large men.

Wait. Angel Trump has wings?

They’re symbolic right?

I can’t imagine the wingspan necessary to get former-president Trump off the ground.
 
Georgia Grand Jury Looms in Trump Inquiry
An Atlanta D.A. is said to be likely to impanel a special grand jury in her criminal investigation of election interference by the former president and his allies.

As the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot fights to extract testimony and documents from Donald J. Trump’s White House, an Atlanta district attorney is moving toward convening a special grand jury in her criminal investigation of election interference by the former president and his allies, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deliberations.

The prosecutor, Fani Willis of Fulton County, opened her inquiry in February and her office has been consulting with the House committee, whose evidence could be of considerable value to her investigation. But her progress has been slowed in part by the delays in the panel’s fact gathering. By convening a grand jury dedicated solely to the allegations of election tampering, Ms. Willis, a Democrat, would be indicating that her own investigation is ramping up.

Her inquiry is seen by legal experts as potentially perilous for the former president, given the myriad interactions he and his allies had with Georgia officials, most notably Mr. Trump’s January call to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, urging him to “find 11,780 votes” — enough to reverse the state’s election result. The Georgia case is one of two active criminal investigations known to touch on the former president and his circle; the other is the examination of his financial dealings by the Manhattan district attorney.

trump was at the World Series game in Atlanta last Saturday and he thanked Major League Baseball for inviting him. The problem with that was, Major League Baseball didn't invite him.

Baseball officials say, Trump invited himself. He first expressed an interest in attending and then reached out, an MLB spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE, as had been reported elsewhere. People magazine link

trump brought Melania along. She seemed less than thrilled to be there. In fact, at one point she seemed visibly disgusted with trump.

Given everyone's history here, including her husband's history of litigiousness and his habit of getting his way, and at the very least her violation of immigration laws, it would not surprise me hugely if her reason for not leaving is that she doesn't dare.
