Donald Trump's "foamy saliva" in campaign video raises questions
The presumptive Republican nominee was seen with froth around his mouth in a new campaign video, which may signal health issues.
I don't wish death to anybody but, if he croaks of dementia before November it would be pretty funny.
Moms Mabely practically wrote his epitaph: “They say you shouldn't say nothin' about the dead unless it's good. He's dead. Good.”
I don't wish death to anybody but, my lawyer advised me to end the comment here.
"I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."
-Clarence Darrow
My only concern is that they'd decide he's a martyr and claim the deep state killed him.....
Seriously, is there no way out of this bs?
I try to look at it like this: before 2016, I thought this level of hatred, bigotry and cruelty was an outlier in the right. That most of them just wanted tax cuts and weren't hood wearing racists. I've since learned that the "outliers" are the party and the "moderates" are the actual outliers.
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them." Maya Angelou.
No. It doesnt matter when or how he dies its going to be thought to have been the deep state. I mean some of these people believee JFK and JFK Jr are still alive and will come back to rally for Trump.
We are doomed
Stupid people gonna stupid, unfortunately.
A bolt of lightning striking him in front of a church with many cameras present
If he croaks first of all Id be partying but I'd also think this make the election even more of a crap shoot as many light conservatives will go with the Republican candidate instead of Biden or abstaining, not to mention Bidens campaign centers how bad Trump is, if hes gone there goes the effect of millions of campaign dollars.
If he dies of natural causes before the election, no one that supports him, which is roughly half the country by the way, will believe it, and domestic violence will dramatically increase as well paranoid conspiracy theories.
I frankly hope he stays alive and is somehow, miraculously beaten by a significant margin.
Too good for him, instead we watch him getting increasingly unhinged while his empire crumbles, and while he loses elections and the felonies pile up.
Sooner, please.
Rabies
That would be hilarious, in a really cynical way. I’m just imagining a literally rabid Republican candidate campaigning. MAGAers would probably stop drinking water in solidarity and we’d get to really test out that “I could shoot someone on fifth avenue” theory, but with biting on campaign stops.
It would be a great opportunity for someone to sell a "Bite Me Trump" shirt. Supporters would wear it for its litteral meaning and opponent would wear it for the sarcastic meaning.
Also, pirates who like teethy BJs would wear it so people know what they're into.
And then someone gets that and bird flu at the same time and we end up with airborne rabies because that’s how it works now.
Haha we’re gonna get to see him try to drink a water bottle in an even more weird way
Travis, get your gun!
Remember the toilet paper march up the steps into Air Force One?
What it shows me is that none of the people who deal with him on a day to day basis have any respect for him whatsoever.
Could be that he's the type to shoot the messenger, and nobody wanted to be told "You're fired" for letting him know he's got tp on his feetsies.
Sort of makes you wonder what the staff has been putting in his food over the years.
I wonder if he’s tried to go out pantsless yet?
the people who deal with him on a day to day basis have any respect for him whatsoever.
I find that even more chilling. The number of people that know him and despise him, but are willing to toe the line and throw everything away just for a shot at more money.
Have you tried not having a ton of money? It really sucks.
I forgot about that.
It's like something out of Hot Shots Part Dux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbvF2knVsEU
Oh there was ketchup on the walls that day, I'm sure.
No respect, definitely contempt, and probably fear.
He’s like the cartoon evil bad guy boss. His minions suck up to him, keep him in power and praise him in public, but behind his back they hate him, mock him, take joy in his failings, and want him to fail. But they’re always worried that they’ll fall on his disfavor and get booted.
I'm not going to watch the video but was the saliva tinted pink at all? That's a sign of congestive heart failure.
Edit: from what I can find if the "sputum" is white and not "excessive" it's not a cause for concern, if there's a lot of it, it could be COPD, pneumonia or other pulmonary (lung) issues but should be checked out by a physician.
Hi, I'm a paramedic x14 yrs. Didn't watch the video, but I don't think this is likely to be the case. In almost every case I've seen pink-tinged foamy sputum from CHF, the patient is in critical condition, and is in absolutely no state to be delivering a deranged rant. Even in the cases where they work on it with hacking and coughing for a bit, they're still pretty much out of gas and not going to be carrying on like dumbass here. At least, that's my experience.
As an EMT of a few months I believe you and will file that in my mental toolkit. I've not seen pink sputum myself yet.
Not that I could tell. What happens is while he's loudly yelling, some spittle actually flies from his mouth.
Turnabout is fair play and all that, but this is just dumb. The dude is old. Anyone that's talked a really old person sees all kind of weird stuff going on with their mouths.
This is the Trump equivalent of going after Biden because he's also shockingly not great with words and controlling his saliva. Hell, I'm not an old, and I've had one too many coffees while hungover and foamy spit was about all the spit I had.
I think we can safely assume a few things here: 1) yes, Trump has health problems. Black people couldn't use the same water fountains as white people for like the first 20+ years of his life. He's old af. 2) this is dumb ass shit, and the fact that Trump is such a low-life "politician" is the only reason this kind of meaningless attack is coming out. 3) people are realizing the felony convictions aren't going to be enough, and this reeks of desperation.
Anyone that's talked a really old person sees all kind of weird stuff going on with their mouths.
a long time ago i read that's because the older one gets, the less thirst one feels and therefore older people don't hydrate enough, if they don't actively hydrate more than they feel thirst
Certain ailments that are more common as you get older can cause less thirst.
Some medications can cause foamy saliva.
And the reason why when you get older, more stuff going on with your mouth is you can loose feeling in the lips so it’s not as noticeable to you in that you can’t feel it.
And you’ll note that I said ‘you’. cuz we all age and you and I and everyone in this post are not exempt from getting older as we speed through the time dimension. It’s not just something that happens to an entirely separate alien species we all just refer to as ‘they’.

It is much more than just foaming at the mouth.
Gross but reading your comment made me drool ever so slightly.
This is a funny thing to focus on in light of his recent felony conviction.
We've all spit as we've talked, nothing novel about that. A felony conviction, now that's a pretty novel thing.
I could have gone without that image in my head.
Oh my gods that's disgusting
Is there a link to the video that is not on Twxtter?
You're not missing anything. In one video a little piece of spit flew out of his mouth for like 2 frames, and in another he had a little glob of spit for like 5 frames, and then they played it slow motion and zoomed way in and repeated it a bunch of times because otherwise it would have been comically underwhelming.
That's it. I'm definitely not voting for him now.
The raping, grifting, misogyny, racism, tax evasion, lying, top-secret document mishandling, pandemic mishandling, veteran-hating, handicapped-hating, immigrant-hating, insurrection starting are one thing... but foamy saliva is where I draw the line.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump's "foamy saliva" in a new campaign video has raised questions on social media.
"Many Republicans like to vote on Election Day and we must swamp the radical Democrats with massive turnout on Tuesday, November 5," Trump said.
"Trump spitting while telling his followers to vote for him," the Patriot Takes account posted on X, formerly on Twitter, alongside a 10-second clip from the video.
The account, which monitors right-wing extremism, wrote in another post that Trump "also struggled with foamy saliva" while filming the video.
Another person wrote that "frothy saliva is a rare symptom; when you see it, you should be concerned and immediately send for medical assistance."
"I guess it's time to bring in Kristi Noem to put Trump out of his misery," another person wrote, referencing the South Dakota governor's fatal shooting of her 14-month-old dog.
The original article contains 441 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I gotta say, that Kristi Noem joke is pretty funny
foamy saliva is the name of KKK's David Allan Coe cover band.
I assure you, no one wants information about an old man’s foamy saliva. Recoiling in horror at a concept is not “raising questions.”
I mean if it's foamy enough, it raises some major questions. There are few things that cause that and they are basically all bad in their own ways.
