Close Friend Says Donald Trump is Too FAT and SICK to Run in 2024

Well, this isn’t a new consideration, it is near impossible to avoid noticing that as compared to Joe Biden and just about every other senior politician, including Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein, that Donald Trump is an obese man who isn’t willing to do a thing to improve his health. He sits around and brags about his great genes, great memory, and, oh – that COVID thing that can leave scarred hearts and lungs.

So it’s not new to discuss whether he would be too old to run in 2024, but it is new for a guy like Franklin Graham to come right out and say he’ll be too old:

“I think for him, everything will depend on his health at that time,” Christian evangelist Franklin Graham, a longtime ally of Trump’s, said when asked on Axios on HBO whether he thought Trump would run again. “If he still has energy and strength like he does. I don’t.” Graham, 68, continued: “You know the guy does not eat well, you know, and it’s amazing the energy that he has.” Trump, currently 74, would be 78 in 2024 — the same age as President Joe Biden.

Trump, currently 74, would be 78 in 2024 — the same age as President Joe Biden.

Now, that’s an awfully convoluted paragraph, maybe due to a lifetime of having to translate Old Testament verses into something that doesn’t sound as awful as the real words appear to be. Graham allows for the fact that Trump might still have the same energy, but he seems to say that he doesn’t think Trump will have the same energy, or why else would he point out the guy eats like a 12 year old and it’s amazing “the energy he has.” We presume that Graham meant “a working heartbeat.” (Didn’t say which color.)

Graham then gave the game away by talking about why he supports Trump:

“I never said he was the best example of the Christian faith,” Graham said in the earlier interview. “He defends the faith. And I appreciate that very, very much.”

Great. Who is the “best example of the Christian faith?” No one. That is a meaningless statement. But the next statement is entirely wrong. Trump doesn’t “defend the faith.” Trump defends himself and that requires votes from people who look like him and want someone to pound on those people that don’t look like them. There is no “defending the faith” in the equation.

Everything begins and ends with Trump, which isn’t very Christian, nor is it very healthy. One has to have a heart to live and we see no evidence…
