The White House disclosed that the president has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition common in people of his age.

Donald Trump was seen with a noticeable layer of makeup on his right hand on Friday as he left the White House, amid ongoing speculation about his health. The 79-year-old is believed to have used makeup to hide bruising on his hand on several occasions since returning to office, but the application appeared particularly thick during his visit to The People’s House museum.

        It’s a trade-off. He’s a much more reliable puppet for Project 2025, but the Republican Party is a cult of personality held together by Trump and Vance has negative charisma. I’d take my chances with Vance.

        I don’t see how. He doesn’t have the same grip on the party and thus Congress wouldn’t let him get away with as much

          Also the state level shitheads are going to be more resistant to him. Anything Vance will do is more likely to require a lot more tit for tat, which while that won’t stop him outright it will slow him down and probably stall or stop certain things.
