I am somewhat loathe to diagnose from video BUT

Trump’s speech was accompanied by hyperhidrosis the extent of which was heretofore unmatched in my experience of watching him. It is entirely possible that he has a combination of heart failure and acute anxiety. I believe he has gained much weight which may be due to water retention and he is a walking time bomb. That flopsweat was extraordinary and quite different in my opinion from being overheated in a room.

All my opinion.

He's almost certainly on antacids and the Proton Pump Inhibitors can cause hyperhidrosis, including Prilosec and Prevacid.

I'm sure there are others, but beyond his obesity and train-wreck of a diet, lack of physical fitness, etc., any of the above meds may be adding to the problem.

It tasted good, I'll acknowledge that but it must have a lot of sugar in it, along with the fat, of course. Because it reminded me of how I once craved that kind of crap all the time. One sandwich had me craving it the next day (and falling asleep an hour after eating).

That Trump suffers from rosacea, hence the heavy makeup. This campaign he has appeared a fruity shade of mahogany; maybe his rosacea is playing up and needs an extra heavy coat of shellac on his otherwise dew-kissed visage. I like the idea of him being a walking time bomb. Maybe the extra heavy makeup contributes to the excessive sweating.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12174-rosacea

What are the types of rosacea?

Four different types of rosacea include:

Erythematotelangiectatic: Rosacea is persistent and causes facial redness with enlarged and visible blood vessels (vascular). This type flares, where symptoms come and go unexpectedly.
Papulopustular: Pus- or fluid-filled pimples form on your skin. Your skin could swell and symptoms are similar to acne.
Phymatous: Symptoms cause your skin to swell and thicken. Your skin could be bumpy and it most often affects your nose. Symptoms could make your nose appear bulbous (rhinophyma).
Ocular: Rosacea can affect your eyes, causing them to feel irritated and bloodshot or watery. Your eyes are sensitive to light and painful bumps can form on your eyelids (styes).

*I have chronic psoriasis, but I don't pretend that I don't have the condition.

My skin was quite bad a couple of years ago with rosacea (related to autoimmune issues). I got to use Hydroxycloroquine AND ivermectin! I'm tellin' ya, that rosacea cleared up within a few months. I think he just likes the way it looks since he has a "gold" fetish.

Does anybody remember when he broadcast from Walter Reed when he had COVID? His skin looked fine, in fact he almost looked human there. (I said *almost*.)

71. Not to water down your theory, but the drumpfster stays in AC every minute that he's not

on a golf course. That leaves people unaccustomed to hot/humid settings and they tend to sweat up more profusely. Have watched Northern tourists here in Fla. faint from the heat even when temps were only in the high 70s. Couple that with an enclosed space (btus of body heat + carbon dioxide + polyester suit/tie) and you can have a fainting. Happens fast, too...standing and talking one minute, heaped on the floor the next.

I just got back from two weeks in western Brazil. I was mostly working in an air-conditioned museum facility, but did some birding excursions, and my clothes were absolutely drenched after a couple of hours - far moreso than my Brazilian friends who came along.

With a hankie (as men used to always have somewhere in the pockets of his jacket) because then the makeup would get wiped off or streaked. Can’t have that now, can we? 👀

I’d love to see that, by the way, and watch him try to hide the orange stained hankie. 😂😂😂

It’s freaking hot. Africa hot. Tarzan couldn’t stand the heat. (Thank you Biloxi Blues)

I was a medic on films and TV and overheated extras were always a big risk. Trump is unaccustomed to heat that intense, he won’t last for another sweatfest. He’s in too poor of physical condition to tolerate another shock to his system.

Lastly, he’s too stupid to seek shelter before it’s too late. I’m sure his handlers will try to whisk him away discreetly.

92. As much as I'd love to see him in an orange jumpsuit and cuffed...

...I think it would just be so much simpler to have him croak on his own. We can prosecute his cronies... Of course, if that happens, then what excuses will the MAGAs use to explain the prosecutions? Their lord and savior will no longer be a candidate, so they can't lay the prosecutions on election interference.

The stress of living all those lies every day would take it's toll on me.

106. Isn't excessive sweating a symtom of diabetes? And meth, cocaine, and other abused drugs?
