But these sheep can't wear masks? Give me a fucking break.

To be fair, they need the bandage just as much as trump does.

Like. A day or two after the attempt he was out golfing and didn't have a bandage or anything.

I think it was just a small nick and the blood thinners he's likely on just makes you bleed like crazy since they prevent clotting. A small scratch looks like a war wound, and would explain why there was blood everywhere but he still has a functional ear.

Like, if he really got shot in the ear, he'd be missing a part of his ear like in Preacher. It won't just heal back.

Dude got a scratch and is playing it up.

He's a WWE Hall of Famer. I would not be surprised if he was blading.

Trump is on blood thinners? Why?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 50 points 4 months ago (1 children)

...

He's in his late 70s, doesn't exercise, eats like shit, and is drastically overweight...

Like, it's one of those things that are just safe to assume. Blood thinners arent really that rare for people 30 years younger than either candidate.

I wonder what his theoretical are is lol.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

His blood is thick with hamburger juice.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

A lot of people that age, with his OBVIOUS unhealthy BMI are on blood thinner as prevention more than anything else.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

To prevent strokes and heart attacks. It's pretty common.

The masks prevent them from quaffing their own farts all day long.

Well...

There isn't a fourth monkey covering its nose.

There is, however, a fourth monkey covering his crotch. "Do no evil"
