At some point, the meds stop working. His lower extremities will swell, mostly in the feet. And this can happen to the point that the skin breaks. At that point, he'll be on hospice and they'll have him hopped up on narcotics. He'll be functionally useless as a decision maker.

Trump invites the press into the meeting in violation of the agreed protocol. Then he kicks them out. Pure chaos, as usual.
Trump tells the press as he meets with Zelenskyy, "I think you could sit outside and have some food. Would you like to have food or do you consider that a bribe, and therefore you cannot write honestly? ... Margo, take them outside and tell the chef to serve them good lunch."

No punishment is too great for a man who would drug and drive his own 6–8-year-old daughter to “pedophile ring parties.”
Sit with this: if this report is accurate, this child was horrifically abused. I wonder whether she’s been able to build any kind of life for herself.
