'incredible photo of Trump that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words after someone fainted on Oval Office.......

IT looks like the person who fainted got enough help--yet Trump just seems oblivious to the whole scene.

It the person "just" fainted, it may very well have been from standing up too long and blood pooling in the lower extremities. Elevating the legs returns blood to the brain and heart. Standard first aid.

to do what, I don't know, but even the most lay person should know how to loosen their tie/clothing, make sure they are breathing, check pulses, etc, and if needed get someone to immediately get the portable AED machine (ECG/defibrillator) while contacting the WH medical staff to come immediately. Was "Dr." Oz at least that responsive? I don't know, but at least he did attend.

As happy as Trump is that was NOT him, I am equally as UNHAPPY it was NOT Trump collapsing.

Once again, my daily pleas to the universe seem to be misinterpreted - I said THE ORANGE PAINTED GUY for the cardiac event, not the guy behind him...

then he just turns away and stares in the opposite direction while everyone else is looking after the guy who fainted. Apathy, confusion, or just annoyance that he was no longer the center of attention?

A long time ago I was in college and one of my jobs was AV tech for the distance learning center. One evening I was arriving at work, I operated a booth with all the controls for a classroom studio. There was another booth to another classroom set next to mine and the doors were right next to each other and were usually open. As I was setting my things down and greeting to operator on duty I heard a loud crash in the booth next door.

I stepped over to look in and saw that my coworker was having a grand mal seizure and needed help. While my other coworker came in to help, I instructed him in how to help and stood up to address the professor of the class, a graduate level nursing class and the prof was the director of the program...

She had that same look on her face, a look of disgust and impatience. She was pissed that she was interrupted and was not concerned with the life threatening event my coworker was suffering. She never considered helping or inquiring as to his well being. I then ran out to the 'desk' and demanded and ambulance.

That event troubled me so much that I had to go have a talk with the dean so that someone who should know was aware of her callousness. He was pretty upset about it.

That is a total lack of humanity there.

It's also why he hates himself and misdirects it outwardly. And yes, why he lacks empathy and has many twisted and cruel thoughts.

He is mugging up for the photographer. Obviously the most important person there, anywhere, now or ever.

I annotated it.




And I don't care one bit if that is the WH photographer. He's kissing ass instead of documenting.

Some years ago, an elderly man fell and hit his head on the marble floors of Mar-a-Lago. Trump's concern was whether the blood would stain the marble. He's an abomination, a horrible human being.

were right at the scene when I fainted a few weeks ago. I woke up and they were standing over me, looking worried. I jumped up and reassured them I was fine. They couldn't do anything for me since I was the only human home. Normally they'd seek help.

Trump is a worthless piece of excrement compared to those 2 dogs.

And I cannot believe I am saying this about Mehmet Oz. But the Mango Moron and RFK are so much worse than useless, they might have killed him. And the others in the toom were Big Pharma - useless at best.

If you ever have to faint, try to find a better rook to do it in.
