A short time ago I was watching the series Jessica Jones. In either the second or third season the character Jeri Hogarth is diagnosed with ALS. Near the end of the third season Hogarth begins to display more symptoms of ALS. In one of the last episodes of the third season Hogarth struggles to pick up a glass of water with one hand. So, she uses two hand to drink out of the glass. The moment I saw that I thought about Donald Trump having to use two hands to drink out of a glass of water. I wondered if maybe Trump has ALS. So, does anyone think Trump has ALS?

(2,073 posts)I think he purposely acts infirm and slurs his words to get people talking about him.
The proof? The tapes of his interviews with Bob Woodward. He is clear headed and knows exactly what he is doing. He is a special kind of psychopath.
Also I am not exactly sure he wants a second term. He is testing his followers and keeps ratcheting up the rhetoric and bizarre behavior. And yet they keep hanging on. I bet he and his cronies are amazed at how stupid they are.

(32,078 posts)He has cardiovascular disease from not exercising and eating junk food. He is on cholesterol and other medications related to cardiovascular disease. He all but admitted to having a series of mini-strokes. He also swings his right leg when he walks, which is a sign of post-stroke. It's obvious what is his issue, and it is not ALS. I joke that he also has untreated syphilis, but given his promiscuity, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually has that, as well.

(34,358 posts)that speech and it wouldn't have happened if he had ALS. My dad died of it, so I know that once your muscles go, that's it. There's no improvement, just steady decline.
