What galls me is the MONEY these people make spouting the lies that they tell.

Yes, Trump is dying...we are ALL dying eventually. This swelling happens to me when I fly if I don’t wear compression socks. If I sit too long, anyone overweight has this same issue, add age and sodium intake. This is a nothingburger but it will incite the left in wishing ill will towards him. Such vile demons!

[bigbob]

It’s from kicking ass and he’s not gang to stop.

I used support socks for a time before my liver transplant, as I was accumulating a lot of fluid in my legs and feet. I even purchased one of those frames to stretch out the socks on before I put them on. It made it a lot easier to get my tree trunk legs and feet into them.

I heard a doctor on Newsmax saying that flying a lot, like Trump does, tends to exasperate the problem.

That makes Vance a much more polished speaker and disciplined politician, the incumbent president, and he could run two more times.

Vance could run two more times only if President Trump is past the halfway mark of his term. Until then, he could only run one more time.

socks are too tight

It is HARD to find socks that are not to tight. Most stores only sell one size, and even when you can find the extra large, they are mostly LONGER, not wider. It gets worse if you use a drier on most socks. My wife air dries mine for that reason.

President Trump could afford silk socks. Those would be more forgiving.

There are ways to even reverse some amount of chronic venous insufficiency.

How is that done? I have heard that vein surgery was the only way.

[quilterdebbie]

Right, compression socks are the way to go.

[linMcHlp]

Yes.

Sleep and exercise.

If working from a chair, get up and walk around for 12 minutes every hour.

Disclipline. Train.

“I don’t wanna . . .” <— means trouble, and sooner than later.

[thesligoduffyflynns]

flying a lot has much to do with this too, he practically lives on a plane dont you think?

[tumblindice]

22nd amendment.

Searching for an adequate substitute for diet coke...

Also a little hazy on the real reasons diet coke is bad...

Resulting in a half-hearted search for said as-yet-unidentified adequate substitute!

And more diet cokes consumed in the interim.

Everybody’s got their flaws, no?

[Karoo]

I don’t think of Trump “as elderly”. He is so active

[glennaro]

Swollen ankles = "Constitutional Crisis"
Brain shrunk to the size of a walnut = Meh.

“
“socks are too tight”

Actually he needs tighter socks all the way to the top of his calves, like I have.

Keeps the swelling down and are more comfortable than regular stockings.

Mine started about his age and now I’m good at 85.

[Vaduz]

Transparency the enemy of the left.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Whew! Its ABC, so it’s not true!

[tapatio]

Diet Coke is a terrible drink health wise.

He drinks a lot of those and they have 40 milligrams per 12-ounce can of sodium in them as well. That is 2% of your daily intake per can.
