Trump has to STOP SPEECH over eye problem

[0:00] Red flags going up as Donald Trump stopped a campaign rally to try to fix an eye problem [0:06] that he was having, dipping a towel in water and wiping his eye. Immediately, the conversation [0:12] became what is going on with his health. Now, I am not here to tell you Trump wiping his eye [0:17] is proof that he is on death's door or he has some secret undiagnosed or rather not revealed, [0:24] possibly diagnosed, but not revealed condition. What I do want to talk to you about is once again, [0:30] we aren't even really allowed to ask questions about this stuff. Now, I want to remind you, [0:35] this is not a pat on the back. I'm not the only one who's been on this, but it has been a topic [0:39] of conversation that Donald Trump's eyes often look so swollen that they are almost shut. And this was [0:49] very noticeable at Donald Trump's Daytona Beach, Florida rally a couple of days ago, and especially [0:55] his left eye, the under eye, that area was so puffed up. It was almost like he had one of those [1:03] cooling iPads, iPads, eye patches below the skin. That's how puffed up Trump's eye was. [1:10] And Trump paused the rally to take out a tissue, dip it in water. By the way, this is all prepared [1:18] for Trump, clearly, because they know that this is something that might happen. Here is that moment. [1:22] You'll also notice Trump is soaking wet from sweat for reasons we don't totally understand. [1:26] Here is that of that moment. They go crazy. Do you mind? I got a little dig in my eye. Watch this. [1:38] Notice that Trump's eyes at their normal state before he fixed it were almost completely swollen [1:46] shut. Oh, there's so much better. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I wish I had little [2:00] eye drops. But if I did this, I am seriously ill. There's something wrong with Trump. All right. So [2:06] Trump wets the towel, wipes his eye. Eyes are almost completely shut. And he says, I wish I had [2:10] eye drops, but people would go crazy. Now, listen, of course, people can get irritated eyes. A president [2:15] can eat a tissue. Doesn't mean we need to convene a medical commission. And he then has that familiar [2:21] move. Before anyone can ask anything, Trump already casts the press as malicious. I wish I had an [2:28] eye drop. But if I did that, the nasty fake news would say I'm very ill. And this is a very interesting [2:35] and, quite frankly, pretty effective defensive habit. Treat the possibility of scrutiny as persecution [2:41] and your audience will never have to consider which questions are reasonable. And I want to be [2:47] consistent about this. If a Democratic president had an irritated eye, I wouldn't want Republicans [2:53] pretending that a wet nap establishes some diagnosis. Apply it to Trump as well. However, [3:00] however, we have a broader interest here in transparency that we have never seen met with [3:08] actual transparency, where Americans should receive credible information about the health of the most [3:14] powerful, powerful person in the country, if not the world, who's making decisions about war and the [3:18] economy and the federal government and all of this stuff. And whatever your party is, that's fine. [3:23] But first, really quick, a word from our sponsor. There's something about this time of year. Routines [3:28] take more effort. The weather changes. Schedules move around. Mornings are a little less predictable. So I [3:34] try to keep the basics consistent. And that's where AG one pro fits in. It builds on AG one next gen [3:41] by combining more ingredients into the same morning routine. One pack with cold water. Really simple. [3:47] AG one pro combines 80 plus ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, pre and probiotics, [3:54] calcium HMB and five grams of Korea vitalis creatine monohydrate creatine is one of the better studied [4:03] supplements. There's evidence supporting benefits for strength and exercise performance. And including [4:09] it just means one less separate step. It also includes vitamin C and zinc, which play important [4:16] roles in normal immune function, although getting more than you need isn't necessarily better. And [4:22] AG one pro costs less than a dollar more per serving for a limited time with your first subscription [4:29] order of AG one next gen or AG one pro. You'll get a free immune support bundle, including a bottle of [4:37] omega three fish oil and a bottle of vitamin D three K two. Just go to drink AG one dot com slash [4:45] Pacman. The link is in the description. Now back to the video. And again, we've noticed that Trump's eyes [4:52] are often so swollen that they are like slits. I don't even know he sees out of those eyes on a lot [5:00] of days. And it got so bad in Florida that he needed to actually do something about it. Flattering [5:07] descriptions of Trump's health in political letters don't tell us a lot and they don't answer questions [5:14] and they can't allow us to determine what is going on here. And what I want people to kind of notice is [5:21] our informational system pushes people towards two extremes. And one side is this is the healthiest [5:28] human ever. Trump at 80 is healthier than Obama was when he was sworn in in his 40s. And that doesn't [5:35] make any sense. The other side zooms in on his eyelid until the pixels have pixels and goes, this is proof [5:43] that Trump's terminal. And the problem is we don't know. We don't have transparency. What relevant [5:49] information is available to us? How reliable is it? What don't we know? What aren't they telling us? [5:54] This is another example. The unknowns remain unknown. Trump's soaking wet from sweat and swollen like [6:02] crazy and interrupts a rally to wipe his eyes. That's what we know. Combined with Trump now has an 11 [6:09] year history of providing propagandistic medical documents, including it used to be from Dr. Harold [6:15] Bornstein. And then it's moved on to whoever else, Ronnie Jackson and whatever. So what we can weigh in [6:22] on is how does Trump handle the visibility around his health? He's built this political identity around [6:30] I'm alpha. I'm strong. I ridicule weakness when I see it in other people. And so it creates this weird [6:37] situation where even needing eye drops becomes something he feels compelled to defend. Imagine [6:43] creating this mirage where any minor inconvenience convenience immediately becomes a grievance with [6:50] the media. What I really want is eye drops. But if I use them, the media would do this and do that. [6:56] It's got to be exhausting. Everybody else gets to say, hey, I got something in my eye. Hold on. And [7:01] then you move on. The Trump reaction is I have to hide as much as I can. And when I can no longer hide [7:08] it and I've got to deal with my eye, I preemptively attack the media for how they would cover me if I [7:13] actually used what I needed, which is eye drops president's age. They get sick. They need treatment. [7:18] Being a competent leader includes straightforward communication about what is going on. Now, I also [7:26] think there's a practical cost to Trump crying wolf about the media. I want the eye drops, but the media [7:33] would do this and then do that. Well, the what Trump's trying to do is condition people to dismiss [7:40] anything they hear from the media about what's going on with his health. But the problem is the media is [7:47] kind of not really covering it very much. It's been increasingly independent media, not legacy [7:53] and corporate media that is even willing to talk about the obvious health problems that [7:57] Trump is experiencing. And so by crying wolf all the time, he may actually be making the [8:01] problem even worse. Bottom line, we've got an election tomorrow. We deserve reliable information [8:07] about the president. We need a president who can tolerate being asked for that information and Trump [8:12] can't tolerate it.
