New York effing Times reporters Katie Rogers and Dylan Freedman writing about the aging Malignant Fascist and his short hours and naps during public events:
"With headline-grabbing posts on social media, combative interactions with reporters and speeches full of partisan red meat, Mr. Trump can project round-the-clock energy, virility and physical stamina. Now at the end of his eighth decade, Mr. Trump and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics.
The reality is more complicated: Mr. Trump, 79, is the oldest person to be elected to the presidency, and he is aging. To pre-empt any criticism about his age, he often compares himself to President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who at 82 was the oldest person to hold the office, and whose aides took measures to shield his growing frailty from the public, including by tightly managing his appearances. [snip]
....nearly a year into his second term, Americans see Mr. Trump less than they used to, according to a New York Times analysis of his schedule. Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, in 2017, although he is taking more foreign trips.
He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average.
And when he is in public, occasionally, his battery shows signs of wear. During an Oval Office event that began around noon on Nov. 6, Mr. Trump sat behind his desk for about 20 minutes as executives standing around him talked about weight-loss drugs.
At one point, Mr. Trump’s eyelids drooped until his eyes were almost closed, and he appeared to doze on and off for several seconds. At another point, he opened his eyes and looked toward a line of journalists watching him. He stood up only after a guest who was standing near him fainted and collapsed." (our emphasis)
Be sure to open Doug Mills' video clip embedded in the article for a good chuckle. The article also notes the recent MRI exam that the MF had, and signs of ill health, like the cankles and bruising on his right hand. The MF later rage-"truthed" at the story on his floundering social media site, specifically targeting Ms. Rogers, who he attacked as "ugly, both inside and out," an echo of his pathetic, misogynist, "quiet, piggy" attack on Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey when she asked a question about why the MF was fighting the release of the Epstein-Trump files. Demented and flailing.
