Tuberville says Trump health issues exacerbated by 'fighting the radicals'

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5410255-tuberville-says-trump-health-issues-exacerbated-by-fighting-the-radicals/]

Dumbest senator trying to blame We The People for Trump's ills.

After President Trump was diagnosed with a chronic vein condition, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) suggested the president’s health condition could be a result of his efforts in “fighting the radicals.”

“The pressure on somebody like President Trump right now, not just from outside entities … all over the world but also fighting the radicals in this country,” Tuberville said during a Sunday interview with radio host John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “The Cats Roundtable. ”Every day it’s almost like a fistfight.”


Didn't Trump once say something about wanting one while admiring someone's EARNED Purple Heart Medal? How long before Tuberville, or some other lame brained sycophant suggests Trump deserves a Purple Heart for all his work fighting those of us who love our nation, our democracy, and our neighbors?

Tommy Tuberville, as a former football coach, should know this from his previous career. If a player is sickly or incapacitated, he should remained benched and not sent out onto the playing field.

Donald John is not a well man. In fact his current physical health seems to be worse than Joe Biden’s this time last year as well as now. Maybe it is time for Donald John to put the Republic above his personal interests and resign.

then he is unfit to serve. PERIOD

But they want to drag this out past the mid terms, so that Trump can resign effective January 21st and JD Vance can be installed for the last 2 years. That way, Vance could conceivably serve for TEN YEARS!

When I was a wee lad my Dad was a NY Giants baseball fan. When I went out with him to hang out with his friends, he taught me, whenever someone said they were a Dodger fan, to kick them in the shins, no warning, no hesitation. Pretty quickly the Dodger fans among his friends learned never to state their allegiance to the Bums in my presence. Dems should do the same thing with Trump.

... there's an old saying that you should take to heart:

"'Tis better to be silent, and thought a fool, than to speak, and remove all doubt."

Though, it probably takes a jackhammer to get anything through the ear-to-ear bone that is your head.

If I can paraphrase Mr. One-Too-Many-Tackles-With-His-Head, what he is saying is:

God bless Jesus, Superman, and Donald Trump. He has valiantly stood up to bullets tearing his ear apart, only for the cartilage to grow back in less than a week. That proves he is anointed by God. And now, our Dear Leader is deathly ill, giving his all in the fight to the death against the radicals. Our beloved President doesn't have much left, so as he leaves, let us remember his greatness in every heroic sacrifice he has made for the country. Farewell Donald Trump. We will never forget you.
