Trump's physician, Dr. Bornstein's blase attitute towards presidental health

[womanofthehills]

“If something happens to him, then it happens to him,” Bornstein told STAT. “It’s like all the rest of us, no? That’s why we have a vice president and a speaker of the House and a whole line of people. They can just keep dying.”

1. Well, the doc and the PEOTUS don't look too terribly healthy.

But, then again, I met the most unhealthy-looking lady I've ever met this past weekend. She looked like way too much of a heart attack waiting to happen. Mean as a cuss, too.

She's almost 90. So ... ya never know. Sometimes horribly unhealthy people can live forever. Or just seem to...

2. Genetics simply favors some people.

Winston Churchill was obese, drank, and smoked and still lived to be 90.

Trump's father lived to be 93 and his mother 88, although Fred wasn't anywhere close to being as overweight as Donald is now.

7. The old line from the song is right....

"Only the good die young."

9. His mother wasn't too ...YUUUUUGE...either. I think his parents were more temperate in their diets.

I think Donald just tends to gluttony....I mean, frog legs and scallops and steaks? Oh my!

Massive taco bowls? Buckets of KFC?

The only time he really SMILES--it's more of a LEER, really--is when he has a plate of FOOD in front of himself!

10. Just as time stretches out to forever when you are miserable, lifespans seem to stretch out

to forever when the person is miserable--or else it just seems that way to everyone else.

4. What cracks me up is Dr. Borensteins's last line

"They can just keep dying"

5. Trump is in great shape, he eats at least 3 or 4 McDonalds cheeseburgers a day.

Supersized fries and a small diet coke (small hands).

[First Speaker]

6. This whole thing--Trump's schtick--it *has* to be performance art...

...more and more, I'm coming around to the possibility of "Trump" really being Andy Kaufmann, and he'll pull the mask off immediately after his inauguration, and give the world its greatest moment of sheer anarchic madness ever. I mean, really--a "doctor" talking about well, if he dies he dies, and "they can just keep dying"? If Trump is Kaufmann, who is "Bornstein"? Lenny Bruce? They actually look a little alike...and is "Pence" perhaps George Carlin? The Marx Brothers, Monty Python, W.C. Fields, Carlin, Kaufmann, Mark Twain, and H.L. Mencken, combined, couldn't have invented this...

8. Excellent. A Kaufmann, you could be right. Except for the risk for so many, it would be interesting

to see how things play out over the 1st term. We should be like a bunch of vultures waiting for 2018 and 2020, though.
