Something is very, very wrong with Donald Trump’s health
Considering the multiple instances in which Donald Trump has been directly and indirectly exposed to the coronavirus over the past two weeks, there’s a realistic chance that he has it right now. Add on his refusal to say if he’s been tested for it, and the obvious lack of clear-headed advisers around him, it’s possible he has symptoms and he’s trying to hide them. But even if he doesn’t have the coronavirus, something is wrong with his health.
Donald Trump’s televised address last night was such a disaster on every level, it’s easy to overlook the fact that Trump was obviously physically ill while he was giving the address. Just watch these ten seconds of Trump trying to catch his breath – which for the record came near the beginning of his speech:

This is scary. When he failed to get that word out of his mouth and ended up gasping for air instead, he almost looked afraid. Was he worried about whatever is wrong with his health, or was he worried that the public might see how poor his health is? This is a guy who was mysteriously taken to the hospital three months ago, for reasons that his White House worked overtime to try to cover up. He’s come off as being at least vaguely physically ill in every public appearance since. Now he’s coming off a rather severely ill. If it’s not the coronavirus, it’s something else. What is going on here?
