After President Donald Trump’s latest physical at Walter Reed Medical Center, White House Physician Dr. Sean Barbabella said the president is in “excellent health” and estimated his cardiac age as “approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.”
Trump turned 80 on Sunday.
“At least to date, he has seemed to utterly defy age,” said Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, 55, told the New York Post.
“I don’t know where he gets the energy that he displays, but he is up early in the morning and late at night,” he added.
“He calls me at sometimes 2 o’clock in the morning,” Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy, 74, said of the president. “I mean, just because you’re 80 doesn’t mean you’re falling apart. For some people it does — but other people are fine.”
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, 82, said: “President Trump, in the Kissinger tradition, has gained in stamina as he has gotten older. He is so interested in the wide range of things he is achieving that he has no time to get older, His life invigorates him and fits what we now know about longevity. If you have a big goal, like what you are doing and have friends you live longer, healthier, and with more energy. All that fits President Trump.”
Trump has not only defied the limits but his detractors as well, especially those in legacy media who unleash their fury hourly as he refers to them as “fake news.”
The Guardian drummed up a forum for individuals with extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome to deliver their greetings on the occasion of the president’s birthday.
Some of the not-by-Hallmark scrawlings which measured high on the rage meter include:
Jennifer Egan, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2011: “You’ve transformed the presidency into an orgy of corruption and self-dealing that would make last century’s robber barons blush. You’ve erased whatever goodwill and respect America commanded internationally, and ceded our relevance in the realms of science, medicine and climate technology for the foreseeable future. You’ve elevated racism and xenophobia into law, hobbled higher education and gutted women’s rights.”
It is only fitting to note that Egan won her Pulitzer for Fiction.
Greta Thunberg: “My initial thought was to give you a one-way ticket to The Hague as a birthday gift, but that comment would probably go above your head. I will instead give you a can of alphabet soup; the sentences you poop out will be more coherent than anything you have ever said. Now you can finally take part in meaningful public discourse.”
Jon Sopel: “How incredibly thoughtful of your acting attorney general, Todd Blanche (remind me, didn’t he used to be your personal lawyer?), to announce that the tax authorities are “forever barred” and “precluded” from ever looking again at your tax returns. I mean, that’s amazing isn’t it? And it not only applies to you, but the boys as well. How lucky, given the way the family has gotten so much richer off the back of your return to the presidency. Hope it was lucrative to have Eric accompany you on the state visit to China.”
Who is Jon Sopel? No, seriously, who is he?
Siri Hustvedt, identified as an American novelist and essayist: “Maga magic transformed your real, fat, old man’s body into the spectacular body of fascism, American style: bulletproof, muscle-bound, eternal. The many superhero costumes worn by your 6 January terrorists were testament to that pathetic fantasy of invulnerability, no doubt helped along by the very real carnage of a global pandemic.”
The Guardian’s own columnist Jonathan Freedland: “The temptation is strong to discard all convention and do what you would do on the birthday of someone you don’t like – to curse and mock you. Curse you for the poison you’ve injected into the bloodstream of the U.S. and the wider world, for your corruption, for the damage you’ve done to the world’s most powerful democracy, for the tens of thousands of documented lies you’ve told, for the lives you’ve destroyed through your abolition of USAID and your failed fiasco of a war on Iran.”
