I have cardiovascular disease and have had pulmanary embolisms 3 times in my 82 years

I have to watch my salt intake because my feet and ankles swell if I eat what other consider a normal amount of salt. I eat healthy, do all my own housework and shopping, do exercises a couple times a week. I try to keep my weight in the 135 to 145 range which for my height is considered just slightly overweight. I also have 3rd stage kidney failure so drink a lot of water. In no way do I look even close to as unhealthy as the orange preditor looks even with my health issues. And every week he looks worse. Keep up the pressure and all the stories about Epstein and his relationship. They are taking a toll on him. The main problem I see is the next in line is not any better but he does not have the power or the clout or the following that the orange preditor has.
