All this far-fetched theorizing about Trump's ailments has gotten totally out of hand.
As always, it's best to apply Occam's razor: The simplest explanation is usually the right one.
Satan probably smacked him upside the head last week for getting too kinky.

For women who love the Ravens, the end of the Justin Tucker era is fraught
Tucker’s sudden departure has become a Rorschach test for Ravens fans, who before his miserable 2024 knew him mostly as the most accurate kicker in NFL history and a minor folk hero in Baltimore.

Black people and women are more likely to select into public sector work partly b/c of the stability, but also (and related) b/c of stronger protections against discrimination built into public personnel policies. The massive federal cuts and instability will affect them disproportionately.
For generations of Black workers, federal government jobs have provided a path into the middle class. The Trump administration's workforce cuts are now throwing that sense of stability up in the air.
