General Discussion

having worked in various capacities in different specialties in the medical world, from surgical tech to office assisting, I have a strong respect for the concept of "gestalt," or in other words, "the big picture." My first impression of Trump's physical appearance was CHF. One of the chief reasons my instincts went to that was the EVEN SWELLING in both ankles/feet. For venous insufficiency, both legs would have to have identical amounts of venous compromise for this to be so even. And it would not be affecting his face or hands.

I think his feet are so swollen he has trouble feeling them, causing him to trip on steps. He is too short of breath for the long stairs on AF1. And maybe most important, I have not heard about his being on the golf course lately.

One more thing - this seems to have gotten very much worse very quickly, unlike a chronic problem that gradually worsens.

Also, he is getting less oxygen to his brain, worsening cognitive decline.

He is in rapid decline. My unprofessional self estimates he will be paying a nighttime visit to Walter Reed in less than six weeks, maybe more like four.
