Dozy Donald is a late-night punchline. Here's the real question about Trump's age and health.
Then, on New Year’s Day, came The Wall Street Journal’s similarly lengthy exploration of his aging. Trump cooperated with the article and made some unusually candid remarks. He takes a higher dose of aspirin than his doctors recommend, he said, which could help explain the bruising on his hands and the fact that he is easily cut.

This article ends with this "Trump was spotted at his golf course alive a few days later." Hopefully, next week it will end with some good news. More on reddit.com

1 week ago - The new bruise appears to complicate the White House’s explanation that the right-handed Trump developed the bruising through constant handshaking along with a regular regimen of aspirin that can make such discoloration more common. And while medical experts told CNN there is no fresh cause for concern, calling it a likely benign condition common in older people, they warned that Trump’s reluctance to be more transparent about his health only threatens to intensify the scrutiny that he’s struggled all year to escape.
