Apparently, this doctor’s FATHER was Trump’s GP. So it looks like Trump simply went to a doctor he knew and presumably gave him a hefty “consulting fee” to sign the letter that Trump had pre-written.
Does Trump even have a GP? Why would a GI specialist know about (for example) Trump’s heart health?
That part is probably actually true; IIRC, Trump’s brother was an alcoholic and died young, and it left him freaked out about ever drinking alcohol himself, although he doesn’t have a problem with other people, including his children, drinking it.
This is one of the few Trump claims I actually believe. Quite a few very driven people are resolutely anti-drug/intoxicants (I can think of Gene Simmons and Penn Gillette off the top of my head), and I think Trump fits that mold. And as for Trump selling vodka but not trying it, well, it’s not as if he attended his own “university” …
Yeah, it’s quite plausible. It doesn’t have to be, or only be, a big moral issue; some people just don’t get into booze, and it is an acquired taste that a lot of people decide is just too much bother to acquire.
I find wine and liquor repulsive, and if you told me I wasn’t allowed to have my very occasional beer ever again I wouldn’t bat an eye. I don’t have a problem with other people drinking, I’m just not super into it.
I’ve been to Oakville. What the hell else is there to do in Oakville? :p;)
Incidentally, this NY Times article makes a good point: there’s still talk as if Trump has plenty of time to recover from his slow and sickening train wreck. Nov. 8 is just under three months, away, right?
Not really. Early voting starts in as soon as six weeks. In 2012, according to the article, nearly a third of voters submitted their ballots early.
Trump is very nearly out of time. Of course, it’s debatable whether any amount of time would help him at this point.
The one problem I have with that is that he also claimed that Trump was going to win on Maher during the DNC or soon after. And now that it appears much less likely, he might be trying to cover himself, effectively saying Trump would win if he were trying.
Perhaps, but he may not have had his inside information at that time plus there have been a lot of bad gaffes since then. Or he could be full of it. Who knows?
See, Giuliani remembers 911, since he almost died then, it was that he was using that abbreviated language that all speech givers use. Really, his statement that "“Under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn’t have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States,” was taken out of context.
Abbreviated language, lying-- what’s the diff?
Why do you think he’s always here?
#1 on Tripadvisor; Gairloch Gardens.
Here’s one of the top reviews; "Beautiful garden by the lake, perfect for a picnic or a stroll. Not much else to do there but the view is stunning. "
In the winter, I guess the top thing to do is look at the pictures you took last summer of Gairloch Gardens.
Hey now! Freedom of Speech does not mean you can just quote the exact words that someone said! Goddamn biased media. There should be a way to sue them when they do that.
More on the supposed doctor’s letter:
“To Whom My Concern”? WTF? His campaign can’t even make up a semi-convincing doctor’s letter.
It reminds me of how the Nigerian Prince scams all contain deliberate misspellings so as to weed out the people that know better.
Someone really, REALLY needs to track this doctor down and get some facts about this. Has he passed an ethical line here?
“I love the poorly educated!”
Wait, wait…so now Giulani ‘almost died’ in 9/11? Man, this guy needs a muzzle…or one of those electronic devices that starts beeping unstoppably when its wearer is lying.
So it activates on jaw movement?
I’m surprised it wasn’t signed by Dr. John Miller.
WRT Roger Ailes, the theory is that he may be helping with debate prep since per the NYT, in the past he coached both Reagan and Bush1.
