Dialysis Patient Angry He Can’t Bring Cutout Of Donald Trump To Treatment

“It just feels like bringing something from home to make you comfortable,” the man told reporters.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man undergoing kidney dialysis three times a week is upset that he can’t bring a life-sized cardboard cutout of President Donald Trump for emotional support.

Nelson Gibson told WPBF that his family can’t sit with him during his three-and-a-half-hour treatments. To help, he began bringing a picture of Trump as a comfort item.

“It just feels like bringing something from home to make you comfortable,” Gibson told the West Palm Beach area television station.

Gibson said no one complained about the photo. Next, he started bringing a small cardboard cutout of himself standing next to a Trump photo. No one complained about the small cutout, and Gibson told the station that some people even took photos with it.

On Saturday, Gibson took a life-sized cutout of Trump to his treatment at Fresenius Kidney Care in Port St. Lucie. He said that again, no one took issue with this new emotional support item.

But when he returned Tuesday for treatment with the presidential cutout, Gibson ran into a roadblock.

“They told me it was too much and it wasn’t a rally,” he told the TV station.

His son Eric contacted officials at the facility to find out what the problem was.

“It was supposed to be an issue of safety infectious disease which made no sense,” Eric Gibson said.

The Gibsons say they feel singled out .......................

[Takket]

1. are drumpf supporters literally the largest cult ever assembled? WTF is wrong with these people?

[Salviati]

2. I don't know about the largest...

... but definitely the dumbest.

[marble falls]

3. Emotional support cardboard. I think I'll go hit an emotional support dooby.

4. "The Gibsons say they feel singled out"

Yes you fucking morons, you are being singled out, for publicly fetishizing a white supremacist.

People like this should go play in traffic.

5. I'm thinking he needs some other kind of treatment besides dialysis.

The guy belongs in a psych ward. Freak!

6. "My cardboard cutout has all the emotional and intellectual depth of The Don"

7. Nelson Gibson

wants to bring a cardboard cutout of a man seeking to take away people's healthcare?

[DFW]

8. I wonder how he'd feel

...if some other patients started bringing life-size cutouts of their own heroes--such as Ayatollah Khomeini, Adolf Hitler, Che Guevara, Idi Amin, and Lenin?

[Totally Tunsie]

9. With any kind of luck, maybe Gibson's hero

will make a surprise drop-in visit one day when he's at Mar-a-loco. Port St. Lucie isn't very far away from Palm Beach. That would get Chump some cheap press coverage.

If Chump brings his Sharpie, he can autograph Gibson's "security". Geez...having that in my room would give me nightmares!

10. The other patients didn't object because they're scared to death of the psycho.

He sucks the air out of the room three times a week.

We had a few Trumpanzees at my dialysis center. They conversed with each other. We only talked with our group too.
