Today is Friday, January 2, 2026. With the arrival of a new year, there is hope that Democrats can win back the House in November, and, possibly, the Senate. In the meantime, we have to still deal with an enraged toddler as president. Which makes me extremely depressed since I’ve been dealing with this ever since he was reelected last November. We are four days away from marking the fifth anniversary of January 6, 2021, and the person primarily responsible for spurring it on is now our arsonist in chief; it’s totally unfathomable.

A new online article for MS Now discusses the toddler in chief’s declining health and how the idiot has pushed back on rumors swirling around his physical and mental decline. His defenses are all ridiculous, but you be the judge of that. The article is entitled “Trump pushes back amid scrutiny over his health,” and it’s by Ebony Davis.

In responding to a Wall Street Journal interview that raised concerns about his age and fitness, Dump took to his absurd “Truth” Social to declare he was in “perfect” health.

As if you didn’t know this, Chump is the oldest person to have been elected president. During the interview with the paper, Grump dismissed public concerns about his age and health and expressed irritation – what’s new? – that the subject kept coming up. Of course, this subject is now the focus of many articles printed even in the legacy press. Drumpf cannot hide his obvious signs of decline from the American people, no matter how many lies he utters and protestations he makes to the contrary. The article mentioned the bruised hands Dump has – which he laughingly and stupidly attributed to taking a higher dose of aspirin. He declared he still had plenty of energy – even though he’s been photographed sleeping during Cabinet meetings and other functions. He also laughingly attributed his great health to “good genetics.”

During the lengthy interview, Chump even denied he falls asleep during White House events, saying that the closed eyes that are seen by the public were shot by photographers as he was blinking. For his absurd defense, he said, “Sometimes they’ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they’ll catch me with the blink.” What a fraudulent excuse for actual sleeping I’ve ever heard.

As for that huge dosage of aspirin the toddler in chief takes, which is 325 milligrams daily, that could cause bruising, since I now looked it up. However, the president’s explanation for taking such a high dosage of aspirin defies logic. He actually said, “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart (what heart?). I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?” “No, not really,” the reporter should have said.

Another condition the president suffers from is chronic venous insufficiency which contributes to the swelling in his lower legs. Maybe the swelling matches the tremendous swelling of his outsized ego?

Even though the rambling, incoherent president maintained he’s in perfect health, the article did mention Demented Don’s habit of veering off topic in speeches and statements, sometimes making factual errors. The article mentioned a number of times when Dump appeared to veer off topic and rambled far and wide in his comments, which has made a lot of people suspicious of his mental acuity. However, the liar in chief has insisted that he suffers no cognitive decline. And my name is Donald Duck!

The article from The Wall Street Journal has basically succeeded in giving people pause in trusting someone who is definitely in a course toward overall cognitive impairment. The midterms couldn’t occur anytime sooner.

It’s our first weekend in January 2026. So, enjoy your weekend, everyone.

And so it went!
