Conservative warns Trump showing ‘real signs of physical and mental fatigue’

American Conservative writer Spencer Neale says “you would be forgiven for wondering from time to time if Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is still alive,” but he adds that Trump is only four years McConnell’s junior — yet MAGA won’t admit it.“McConnell’s declining health (he has been spotted falling on multiple occasions) and his accelerating age are not uncommon sights in Washington DC, where Congress has become fertile ground for boomers who refuse to go quietly into that good night,” Neale said. “… Nor are the pair alone in their desire to remain in DC. … Dianne Feinstein, the first female mayor of San Francisco and the first female senator from the state of California, served more than 30 years in the U.S. Capitol before being reduced to a punchline as the then-89-year-old publicly battled health issues.”But conservative critics — especially those from the MAGA wing of the Republican Party — have taken great delight in mocking Feinstein for “staying in office long past her prime,” said Neale, and have also razed McConnell’s “forgetfulness and physical deterioration.”“Yet when it comes to Trump himself, who at 79 years of age is beginning to show real signs of physical and mental fatigue, age and public mishaps become almost invisible to the same critics,” said Neale, despite cameras repeatedly catching Trump snoozing at meetings and virtually sleeping on his feet. But there’s much worse.“The White House disclosed that Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after the president experienced mild swelling in his legs. Then, in September, while attending a 9/11 commemoration at the Pentagon, the right side of Trump’s face appeared to sag, leading to widespread concerns that Trump may have experienced a stroke,” said Neale. “Around the same time, Trump disclosed that he had received an MRI at Walter Reed Medical Center, although he appeared not to know what part of his body had been scanned.”Worse, the ugly bruise on Trump’s right hand has now spread to the other, as divulged by photos snapped at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.“[And] one of the president’s most sympathetic voices in Europe signaled private distress regarding Trump’s mental faculties,” said Neale, citing Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico’s deep concern about Trump’s psychological wellness.The president’s health will not be getting any better after Democrats are predicted to take the House — and possibly the Senate — after this fall’s midterms.“Trump’s next three years in office will likely be the most difficult of his two terms,” said Neale. “With his polling numbers cratering in real time, liberal pundits believe the November midterms will produce a blue wave the likes of which Washington and America have rarely seen. Should their prediction prove correct, and given the domestic flashpoints recently heightened between ICE and protesters in Minneapolis, Trump may spend his final two years fending off deliberate and consistent efforts to impeach him from office. In such a scenario, there will be no hiding the mental and physical realities of our octogenarian president.”
