Jake Tapper has proclaimed: "Newsflash, trump's health is good" on his show

today. He said that there has been lots of speculation on the internet about trump's health, but "Newsflash, trump's health is good" (paraphrased). Tapper then had Sanjay Gupta on to explain chronic venous insufficiency. I turned it off so I don't know how he explained the bruised hands or verbal tirades.

Edit to add to correct my "paraphrase" and the "offense" it caused: Yes, I agree Tapper is one "False and misleading" mofo. trump is not "fine". If you're talking about me - No - I stand by my paraphrased "trump's health is good" as opposed to "he's fine". Tapper said it in a way to "correct the record" of all the internet speculation - he wants to reassure everyone that "he's fine".

And thank you for bringing up that clip. I need to learn how to do that. Maybe when winter keeps me indoor a bit more here in So.Cal I'll devote some time to it.

1. Didn't he explain the AI generated, pre recorded "presser" yesterday?

[johnnyfins]

2. Jake Tapper can go fuck himself.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

4. Agreed.

[Prairie Gates]

3. He's such a tool

[IcyPeas]

5. The dark side has proven to be profitable for Jake

6. "Trump is still alive" isn't the same thing as "Trump's health is good."

[AnotherMother4Peace]

8. Is that what he said? I heard "newsflash, trump's health is good" or something similar.

I'll see what I can find in the internets...

19. See post 18

What you’re posting is false.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

22. Oh my pearls - the horror. Tapper disingenuously wanted to reassure everyone

that trump's "fine". We can't believe our lying eyes. We need to cut the speculation. Tapper said "Newsflash, he's fine". That's not too different from my paraphrased "Newsflash, trump's health is good". Tapper is a trump apologist.

26. Go ahead and stand by your false quote

Everyone can make their own judgment about it.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

28. I will rest easy knowing I have your permission. Nt

[writerJT]

36. Why did you say

“I will proudly stand by the false quote I posted”?

(Paraphrasing. That’s okay, right?)

[writerJT]

20. Rec. Exactly. It's unbelievable what gets posted

and what is immediately taken as fact here. The clip is on YouTube. Anyone can fact check it. I posted it on post #18.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

23. Thank you for posting the clip. Your outrage is a bit over the top. Clutching my pearls here.

[writerJT]

27. This isn't about me.

It’s about a false quote. Spin it around all you want. Everyone can make their judgment about this thread.

7. I'd like to punch Jake Tapper in the face

Repeatedly.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

11. I'd like to watch

[BannonsLiver]

13. Get in line.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. I'm In Front Of You In Line!

Honest! I just had to use the bathroom!

[CentralMass]

9. Did Tapper remove his lips from tRumps butt long enough to speak.

[EndlessWire]

10. Trump doesn't look good.

Maybe the press just got tired of airbrushing the wrinkles, and haven't learned how to AI yet. But, he looks like he is on steroids. I've never seen someone go downhill this fast in the looks department.

His puffy face, falling jowls, and swollen ankles do not point to great health. Sure, we all get there as we age. And, that right hand definitely said that he had something done. Labs drawn, fluids on board, some kind of treatment. He could have just bumped the back of his hand, but that just shows fragility. We have all seen this type of bruise on some old person we have known. There's just no reason to lie about it.

He is older, his looks are failing, yet he continues to try to appear the young stud. His diet, sleep habits, and overall stress says he hasn't a great chance of living ten more years.

There's got to be some reason JD met secretly with someone, took eight vacations, and recently said he was ready to take over, just in case.

I'm usually not picky when I see an older version of someone--what do people want, really-- but, rumpy looks fatter, puffier, and way worse than, say, Obama or Biden. Not sure why the press is trying to claim that he doesn't look ill. And he doesn't seem to rebound. Maybe a little at the last presser, but still looking bad.

[CentralMass]

40. You're only saying that to make us feel better 😉

[BannonsLiver]

12. Biden wasn't great for ratings, was boring on camera and spoke haltingly at times.

Therefore he was infirm and had to be destroyed. It’s almost as if there’s a double standard from these insufferable shit bags.

[Doodley]

15. Trump's mental health should be the greatest concern. If Jake Tapper is saying that is good and Trump's mental health

as president poses no risk to others, then he's not a journalist. He's a propagandist for a fascist regime.

[rollin74]

16. Well, Trump's mental health sure as hell isn't "good"

so there’s that

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Why would anyone believe anything that Tapper says about anything?

[writerJT]

18. False and misleading.

Tapper said “Newsflash, he’s fine” in response to rumors he was dead. Was “fine” the right word? When compared to “dead” maybe. At no point did he say “Trump’s health is good” as you quoted.

Sanjay Gupta explained how they at cnn talk to all kinds of doctors about what’s going on. He mentioned chronic vein insufficiency, and said the evidence available “tracks” with that. At no point did he say this is the definitive diagnosis.

Gupta also said there has been some bad info put out by Trump’s doctors. Tapper followed it up and said we are not getting a complete picture.

Here’s the entire clip:

21. Yes, I agree Tapper is one "False and misleading" mofo. trump is not "fine".

If you're talking about me - No - I stand by my paraphrased "trump's health is good" as opposed to "he's fine". Tapper said it in a way to "correct the record" of all the internet speculation - he wants to reassure everyone that "he's fine".

And thank you for bringing up that clip. I need to learn how to do that. Maybe when winter keeps me indoor a bit more here in So.Cal I'll devote some time to it.

[writerJT]

25. You are going to stand by your false quote?

Unbelievable. But I guess everyone here will make their own judgment about that.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

29. I am outraged I tell you! Outraged!!!

[writerJT]

37. I can tell.

Outraged that a simple fact-check called out your misinformation. Rather than correct it, you’re standing by it and doubling down. Sounds like a certain buddy of Epstein’s in the WH right now.

Carry on with the lies!

[Blues Heron]

31. sounds serious!

[SocialDemocrat61]

24. If Tapper was alive in the 1930s

He’d be praising Mussolini for making the trains run on time.

[LearnedHand]

30. If you're paraphrasing, leave off the quotation marks

They are used only for direct quotes.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

32. Oh you're correct. I've been out of college for quite

a few years. Thank you for grammar/punctuation correction.

I’m leaving it as is because the meaning and sentiment is so similar. Tapper said it to assure all the doubters that trump is fine. BUT Biden, that’s a different story. Tapper had to write a fucking book dissing him. Tapper is a fucking trump butt kisser.

[LearnedHand]

33. Not to belabor the point, but you should remove the quotes

Perfectly fine to paraphrase. Not perfectly fine to put the paraphrase in quotes. For the sake of accuracy and ‘truth’ in posting, either directly quote him or paraphrase but remove the quotes.

[Blues Heron]

34. It's fine as is

It’s just a message board?

[newdeal2]

35. He has to say that, he doesn't want to admit to being a hypocrite

He is a POS, always has been.

[Jack Valentino]

38. Well, he could still come down with a fatal case of lead poisoning---

word is, the water in Florida is not very good

[Johonny]

39. Jake Tapper says Hitler built good roads
