All through his miserable, worthless life Señor Trumpanzee, when caught lying, pushed back with swagger and hysteria and insisting he has "proof." Since going from being merely a crooked businessman to having wormed his way into national politics, he's insisted he's had "proof" when caught lying... about Obama wiretapping him. We still haven't seen the proof, have we? During the campaign-- and before the campaign-- he insisted the dozens of women who have accused him of sexual abuse were all lying. We still haven't seen any of that proof, have we? And remember when he said he had proof of Obama's fake birth certificate. Where's that proof? Only Joe Arpaio knows. Obama's college transcript? Trumpanzee said he had some kind of proof about that too. ¿Dónde está? All the crimes he said he has proof Susan Rice committed. We still haven't seen any of that proof either, have we? That's just how he operates... says any crap that pops into his sick, twisted, addled brain and then doubles down with fake assertions of "proof" that he never presents. He's so disgusting; it's unimaginable that there's still about a third of voters who aren't embarrassed that his smoldering pile of dung is the leader of our country. Putin must thank his lucky stars 24 times a day for the best investment ever made in Russian history.Before we get into the facts of the case of Trump's disrespect and contempt for the men and women who serve in the U.S. military, let's put it in a little context. The spoiled monster refused to serve in the armed forces during the war against Vietnam, not because he was opposed to the war-- quite the contrary-- but because he was too busy ripping people off as a landlord and way too cowardly. In 1977 he proudly boasted to Howard Stern that the the danger he faced from syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, the warts he is reported to still have around his anus, scabies and pubic lice were his own "personal Vietnam." He then told Stern, as they both giggled, "I feel like a great and very brave soldier." This morning former White House Republican operative David Frum went after Trump for his inability-- as a diagnosed narcissist-- to feel, or even care about, the grief and anguish others are feeling. This is truly horrifying-- and Truly Trump:Earlier today, Greg Sargent spoke with Frederica Wilson, the Democratic congresswoman from Florida who heard Trump's half-assed attempt to get out from under the barrage of criticism he's faced about his disregard for fallen soldiers by calling the wife of Sgt. La David Johnson. "Trump," he wrote, "appears unable to resist getting drawn into public battles involving figures who are far more vulnerable and sympathetic than he is, and true to form, he just used his formidable Twitter feed to escalate the battle over a call to a war widow in which he is alleged to have been insensitive." Johnson's widow seemed saddened that Trump couldn't even remember her son's name.Wilson responded to Sargent by calling Trump "a liar" and "crazy." Sargent wrote that "Trump had told Johnson’s widow, Myeshia Johnson, 'He knew what he was signing up for, but I guess it hurts anyway.' This was according to Wilson, who late yesterday told The Post that she had overheard the call on a speakerphone while riding in a limousine with Johnson when Trump called, and that this exchange made the widow cry. This is what Trump claims was 'fabricated,' which now has reporters speculating that Trump may have a recording or an official transcript.
But Wilson said in our interview she is sticking by the story, and she asserted that there were other witnesses in the car, including the driver and the aunt and uncle of the deceased soldier. “I was not the only one in the car,” she said.“Mr. Trump is crazy,” Wilson told me. “He’s a liar. He’s proven to be a liar.” She said she was more “concerned about the circumstances around his death” than about what Trump said.When I pressed Wilson on whether she was sticking by her account that she heard Trump say, “he knew what he was signing up for,” she said “yes.” When I reiterated that Trump claims to have proof otherwise, she said, “How about you go get that proof and call me back?”
Meanwhile the soldier's mother backed up Wilson's account.
Johnson's mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, told The Post on Wednesday that she was in the car during the call from the White House and that "President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband."
The White House is trying to cover up for Trump's callousness with this pathetic statement this morning: "The President’s conversations with the families of American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice are private." I suppose that means Señor Trumpanzee's "proof" will be as forthcoming as all the other "proof" he's boasted having for all his other lies.UPDATE: Will Trump Die Soon From His Venereal Diseases?So, what about the part in the title re: venereal disease?In this article, the author says "Many mental health professionals believe the president is ill. But what if the cause is an untreated STD?"
Physicians like me have also taken notice of Trump’s bizarre, volatile behavior. Given our experience, we can’t help but wonder if there’s a medical diagnosis to be made. After all, many medical conditions exhibit their first symptoms in the form of psychiatric issues and personality changes. One condition in particular is notable for doing so: Neurosyphilis.Syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection, is sometimes referred to as “The Great Imposter” because of its ability to mimic many other conditions.
“If not treated, the infection enters a prolonged latent phase, which can last decades. During this time, it is asymptomatic and it is not contagious. In some cases, this is followed by a tertiary stage, which is the most serious and may involve any organ in the body. It is seen 10 to 30 years after the initial infection, and is best known for causing neurologic and neuropsychiatric disease: Neurosyphilis.Commonly recognized symptoms include irritability, loss of ability to concentrate, delusional thinking, and grandiosity. Memory, insight, and judgment can become impaired. Insomnia may occur. Visual problems may develop, including the inability of pupils to react to the light. This, along other ocular pathology, can result in photophobia, dimming of vision, and squinting. All of these things have been observed in Trump. Dementia, headaches, gait disturbances. and patchy hair loss can also be seen in later stages of syphilis.Trump may or may not have neurosyphilis. Given his bragging about his “personal Vietnam” to Howard Stern, this is plausible. But given that Trump’s father had Alzheimers, and this is heritable-- and that Trump shows all the symptoms of dementia-- from Alzheimers disease, this is also a firm possibility to explain Trump’s behavior.But, it’s not an either/ or thing. Trump may have both conditions. And, by the way, Al Capone, Hitler, Mussolini and Ivan the Terrible, all Trump-like historical figures, had neurosyphilis too.
