If anything it serves to undermine the seriousness of his transgressions and failings as POTUS by making this a "News item". Uhg... so that's what it feels like defending an Angry, cheeto-hued, thin-skinned, small-handed, Man-baby... time for a silkwood shower... Arent the medical conditions of Presidents open for public debate? I mean, sure, many Presidents hid their issues (Kennedy was a wreck, Regan was suspected of dementia etc). Its interesting because Trump is so braggadocios about himself. ive heard him claim his hair is all real. I guess it is but he's obviously losing it and taking drugs to combat that. I dont begrudge him that. But its still interesting for a man who openly brags about his physical condition...because you know he'd deny it if challenged.

That's a stretch... but I will concede your point. I just think it is dangerous to focus on his enlarged Prostate and hair when you have things like: -Muslim Ban -Threats to China over south china sea -Contentious relationships with world powers -Handling of Yemen Raid -Alternative facts -Muzzling of Scientists and government agencies -Changing the Countering Violent Extremism (CSV) program to focus solely on Extremist Islam whilst cutting White Supremacy from that program. - The clear and obvious attempt to undermine, de-legitimize and dismantle the 4th estate. - Staffing Agencies with people that ideologically opposed to the very thing they are there to Protect and are there to explicitly dismantle and destroy the very thing the agency is meant to protect! And I could go on... We should differentiate Trump news... 1) Celebutard type news 2) News that affects the world with potentially catastrophic consequences... 'Cuz if we don't, I think we will run the risk of normalizing the gigantic blunders and aggrandizing the innocuous slights of the Trump Edited February 3, 2017 by wanna-b-fanboy bearpants and Atomic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer? Relevant. Hair loss? Irrelevant. People can report on whatever the hell they want, I just don't see the point in this particular case.

Ohhh ok. Its tough because Trump is also a celebrity and that sort of news will be out there. Think about this, if some starlet came forward to discuss the size of Trump's schlong, would that be fair game since he, during the election, discussed it? lol Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMZ wouldn't exist if I was the target audience for everything I was watching the OJ Made In America documentary the other night and the audio recording of the Las Vegas robbery was sold to TMZ for $150,000. And when OJ was forced to sell his Brentwood home, he had his agent pretend to be a fan/paparazzi sneaking in with a cellphone to get video they could sell. OJ "acted" mad towards the "fan" and threw him off the property. Sneaky sneaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 There's a lot of craziness on both sides. The Berkeley rioters should be incarcerated. There's also a magazine that depicts a target on Trumps head with the headline "why not?" The divide grows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
