that strange shit where he just started talking about getting into heaven. He said
I wanna try and get to heaven if possible,. Im hearing Im not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, [ending the Ukraine war] will be one of the reasons.
This is some crazy shit. When has Trump EVER talked about heaven? When has Trump ever talked about the rewards of doing good acts? He has spent his whole life doing exactly the opposite, screwing everybody he could every chance he could get. And now , this?
This is a guy who has suddenly started to consider his mortality. Never mind the idea that if there is any justice in an afterlife, no just God would reward Trump for ending the war by giving everything to the biggest war criminal in 80 years.
It is obvious that Trump has been getting some kind of infusion or blood transfusion administered through the hand. People might think that is unlikely, but it isn't. All of my blood draws are through the hand and my last colonoscopy, the IV was in the hand. I have veins that are hard to find in the arms. It is also clear that this treatment started at least a month ago, when Trump tried to cover the hand with a lousy make-up job. (Why can't the freaking President hire a person who can apply make-up?)
So , what I would surmise from all of that is that either there is no therapy -- just blood transfusions, or else there was an attempt at therapy, but Trump received the news this week that the therapy is not working.
Here is an interesting article where MDs offer a variety of other possibilities, some less dire than my surmise.

The one paragraph that caught my eye was:
Congestive heart failure could explain the president's swollen ankles, he added, although it's less likely to explain his bruising, "unless it entails anticoagulation or other drugs." However, "he doesn't seem short of breath when he is confabulating."
The definition of confabulation is the unintentional creation or distortion of false memories, believed to be true by the confabulator. Yeah, that checks out.
