Here's the critical bit everybody seems to be missing:
Would you take political advice from a medical doctor or a psychologist?
No?
Then why would you take medical advice from the POTUS - especially this POTUS, who's clearly a fruitcake himself?

I would trust political advice from a doctor way more than medical advice from a politician.
MAHA wasn't behind trump because of trump. That's the segment that came with RFK.
And yes, rationally you could sub POTUS for RFK. But they listened to RFK because he repeated the misinformation they already fell for.
RFK didn't tell them to put their phones in faraday cages every night, they were already doing that. They went down their own rabbit holes long ago, and so did RFK.
But they can't really blame vaccines like MAHA wants, because the American medical complex is a multi billion dollar annual industry, that's deeply embedded in all aspects of American politics.
That's why trump pulled a "some vaccines are ok" a week or so ago. That's a lot of money to piss off.
I'll keep saying it till I'm blue in the face, because people need something to be optimistic about:
We're watching MAGA slowly fracture in real time. And when it breaks it will break fast and hard.
Every domino is lined up for midterms, and it'll be here before we know it. trump is dumb as fuck, and the more he tries to fix it, the worse he'll make it.
There's a very real chance he's impeached and removed within 2 years.
He won't be impeached. That would piss off too many conservatives. He'll be removed using the 25th Amendment once they can no longer prop him up and make him seem vaguely coherent.
Or he'll just die from his atrocious lifestyle.
Tylenol just didn’t pay the shakedown fee and Trump is making an example.
It’s distraction. Yes, the Epstein files, but mainly regarding the destruction of 1A.
Oh look, someone who actually understands how serious this shit is.
Seriously. People keep banging the drum about how he's distracting from the files, but the files /are/ the fucking distraction.
Don't you mean "mental decline"?
