Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

When All You Know Is Lies...

 The Lying Liar for The Liar In Chief just admitted that Trump's noticeably swelling ankles is because of a condition called Chronic Venous Insufficiency. They explained away the odd coloration of his hand as being bruising from excessive hand shaking.

Maybe.

There are two problems with believing this.

The first is that Trump released his physical a few months back that was laughably laudatory. Basically, the only reason that Trump isn't competing in the 2028 Olympics is because of all the presidenting and America greatening that he's doing. Yet he has this condition - one that isn't exactly quick onset and one that has been noticeable for years - that didn't show up on his amazing physical.

The second is that because of all the lying, including that mentioned above, it's really hard to believe them this time. Maybe it's benign, maybe he has advanced heart or kidney disease. We cannot possibly trust what comes from the White House.

Is this a bid to attract sympathy because of Epstein? That doesn't seem like Trump's style.

Anyway, the actuarial table always win.
