WASHINGTON (AP) — A fuller readout of President Donald Trump’s health
following his first medical check-up is expected later Tuesday.
Trump’s White House physician - Navy doctor Ronny Jackson - declared
Trump to be in “excellent health” following last Friday’s exam at the
Walter Reed military hospital in Maryland.
While waiting for a report that is unlikely to suggest anything negative, there were
the following satirical observations (passed along in email) from the president's sister:
Trump’s older sister is not happy about the behavior of her little brother, the President of the United States.
Maryanne Trump Barry,
Donald Trump’s older sister and a United States Circuit Judge, told
reporters over the weekend, “Donnie’s not acting right. ”
The 80-year-old also says she believes that President Trump might be forgetting to take his pills.
“I don’t recognize the Donnie who’s in the White House right now,” added Judge Trump Barry, who friends describe as very loyal to her younger brother.
“Donnie was never a smart boy, no matter what he tells you. In fact,
the neighborhood kids used to call him ‘Donnie Dimwit.’ But recently he
seems to be operating at an even lower IQ, and that’s not good for the
country.... He acts like a hooligan, but it’s a cover-up — he’s really insecure and
very tender underneath that stern facade. Frankly, I always thought he
was gay."
Interesting that so much well-crafted imagination has to substitute for nail-'em-to-the-journalistic-wall reporting. Increasingly, the wet dreams that anti-Trump advocates harbor are the best anyone can seem to muster. Ho-hum, he's a liar -- so what else is new? Line after presidential line is crossed, but, well, the upshot is that there are no lines anyone is willing to or capable of drawing.

Trump’s Older Sister Worries About Him: ‘Donnie’s Acting Like A Nutjob’
POLITICS, SATIRE
Charlie -- That's why I called it "satirical" after, I admit, reading some and being almost convinced.
ReplyDeleteSorry, there's not enough coffee to bring alertness anymore.
ReplyDeleteNo fretting, Charlie. I have to admit I was lapping it up until I got to the "gay" speculation: No one who grew up in the bourgeois, everything-has-a-price surroundings the Trumps must have (and a judge into the bargain) would have loosed such a potential critique. "Stupid?" OK. "Gay?" never.
