> [@Sherrerd](#): > > So, just out of curiosity: do you think the following statement demonstrates good mental health? Since the guy’s saying it solely to get elected and is damn close to doing just that, sure, why not? If Trump said this to his wife while they’re eating breakfast that’d be nuts. What he says as political speech isn’t supposed to be logical. He is saying what he says quite intentionally; it’s not meant to be logical, it’s meant to be emotional. The statement about shooting up Iranian ships presents an image of strength and vengeance. ---

> [@coremelt](#): > > Trump’s speech is a symptom of early onset Alzheimer’s (which his father had) and that is certainly a bigger issue than collapsing from heat / pneumonia . I think you mean early stage Alzheimer’s. [Early-onset Alzheimer’s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early-onset_Alzheimer%27s_disease) is diagnosed before age 65 and Trump is 70 now. And FWIW, I don’t yet see the memory loss problems one would associate with Alzheimer’s. I think he’s just never really been all that smart (though he’s proficient at salesmanship, bullying, and a complete lack of ethics) and age isn’t making it any better. ---

> [@HurricaneDitka](#): > > I’ve heard the conspiracy theories about HRC’s untimely death and body doubles, but somehow I missed the one about metal parts. Can someone please explain? Some folks (read: Alex Jones, etc.) point to something that can be seen bouncing off the back of HRC’s leg as she is hustled into the van on Sunday. Supposedly a metal object because of the sound it makes when it hits the sidewalk. [Here is the frame by frame analysis by Abraham Zapruder’s grandson.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzZl9j580tM) Sorry, I’m making up the Zapruder part. Joking! So apparently, she has been replaced by a robot body double and one of the metal parts fell off. Or all the people obsessing about this are batshit insane. I’m pretty sure it’s one or the other. ---

It happened to me once when it was no hotter than 65. I was way overdressed (it was in the 40s when I got up), I hadn’t eaten or drank that day, and I had been standing still in the direct sun for about two hours. And I wasn’t even sick. ---

I’m pretty sure it’s one or the other. Considering how close Jones and Trump are, this is one way I can definitely see him or his supporters overplaying their hand on the health issue. If they start really seriously publicly advancing body doubles or robots, a lot of voters will be turned off and start ignoring all of it. It’s happened before. ---
