That picture of his hand from the press scrum yesterday was ugggly.
IMO, It’s more likely than not he has moderate heart failure. The chronic hand bruising, swelling, and crepe paper skin, cankles (looks to have on compression socks), and fluctuating mental clarity are consistent with cardiac issues. I chalk up his late 2024 weight loss to an “oh shit, we have to get serious about this” medical realization - or, maybe it was just a campaign component.
Other possibilities include, but do not exclude, a chronic cancer like a slow rolling lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or prostate; long covid; and kidney disease. I also would wager he’s on pain killers, because only providence (which I think is magic) would prevent him from a screaming low back and possibly sciatica, given how long he’s worn lifts and stood like the leaning tower of Pisa.
