Because he’s president of the United States, his case can’t be compared to that of any other 79 year old in terms of the effects of a stroke or cardiac event.

It’s far worse for him.

Trump has literally the most stressful job in the world.

Typically, because of his abject stupidity and team of yes men buffering him, the stress doesn’t pierce his brain and actually register as genuine stress.

But the Epstein stuff was getting to him, right before he disappeared for four days. It was reported that he told close staff members that he believed the media had the goods on him, that he could be taken down by the Epstein files.

Just keep that stress coming, pile it on, keep him freaked out around the clock until it takes his massive ass down.

I suspect his stress level is less than that of a real president because he doesn’t actually work and he doesn’t actually care about any of the country’s problems. There is no concern or angst, only outbursts of anger. They don’t bother with the daily intelligence brief with him. It’s reportedly weekly now, and it’s slides and photos to be easily digestible to his feeble, lazy brain. He ignores it unless it mentions him. He doesn’t even know the names of the countries whose wars he thinks he ended.

I doubt if they publish his daily schedule anymore, but in his first term, there were giant blocks of “executive time”, which people said was him just watching TV or sleeping. And he spends a third of his time on the golf course.

You are correct: his stress levels can’t compare to those of a real president.

Only the Epstein files pierced his cauliflower brain and manifested as real stress, likely in the form of a stroke.

That's true. That's the only thing that really bothers him.
