This Man Doesn't Look Well (Original Post)

He looks like he just got a whuppin' from Dad. And he's grounded for two years. And no allowance.
tRump is a very sick man. In many ways.

The tan is hiding the fact that he is extremely unhealthy. It's not just cosmetic. It is a mask for his ill health.

after their meeting, Putin stood tall an arrogant as he walked to the podium. Trump, hunched and walking slowly, looked as if he had been boofooed.

Simple observation tells us he is overweight, his real color is terrible and he has limited capacity to walk for more than short distances. It is almost a certainty that at 72, he is a good example of living a lifestyle like his can do to a person.
But for the country, what seems to me to be the more pressing issue than his physical health is his mental state of mind. Long before he announced his candidacy and his campaign for President, long time observers of tRump told us that he is not well. His behavior had all the characteristics of a malignant narcissist. None of that has changed except now he has a lot more power and authority to hurt people around the world. He has the ability (assisted by some key people in the congress and the courts) to disrupt our country and the way of life for all 300+ million of us. He appears to be used by Putin to carry out a master plan to destabilize this country and by extension, the rest of the world.
Rather than focus on his physical issues, which no doubt are many, it is his mental health that puts us at risk every day he is in office. The people in congress who can help stop the madness must be urged to use every method they can to come up with a counter plan to Putins master plan. Our very future and way of life are on the line. And time is running out to do something to stop the destruction.

(5,815 posts)8. No doubt, Putin has a hold over the old boy.
Which has ramifications for both his physical and mental health. tRump is a deviant in every sense of the word so there is no telling what he will do if he is cornered. We should all be worried for the impact of stress and pressure on him. It sends a chill up my spine to think about what he might do if he feels trapped.
