President Trump is killing me. Really.

President Trump is killing me.
No, really. He’s killing me.
I went for my annual physical last month, and, for the first time in my 49 years, I had to report that I’ve not been feeling well: fatigue, headaches, poor sleep, even some occasional chest pain. My doctor checked my blood pressure, which had always been normal before: alarmingly high!
What could this mean? I don’t smoke, I’m not obese and I swim most days. The doctor hooked me up to electrodes and ran an EKG; it was normal. He suggested I try an ultra-low-sodium diet, and I spent a few weeks living on unsalted rice cakes, undressed salads and unappealing entrees; the pressure dropped a few points, but not enough. We could pretty much rule out sleep apnea and other things that can cause a spike in blood pressure. My doctor had me take a calcium CT scan of my heart, which filled me with enough radiation to melt s’mores but turned up nothing terrible.
At this point, I arrived at a self-diagnosis: I was suffering from Trump Hypertensive Unexplained Disorder, or THUD. For almost five decades, I had been the picture of health, but eight months into Trump’s presidency, I was suddenly ailing. Trump is the only variable, I told my doctor. “He sure is variable,” my doc replied, endorsing the diagnosis.

prove it.
Good, let’s hope more lefties drop dead from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Winning.
Dana Milbank should commit suicide. Fast fix to THUD.
Most of us suffered worse under Obama... man - these people have a screw or two loose.
Take up smoking and quit swimming.
If you’re so gullible that Trump is causing this, my diagnosis isn’t so crazy.
Dana can’t die soon enough.
He sounds like Hillary, blaming everyone else for his old age. It’s ALL downhill from here.
Why must the left blame Trump for everything? Just look at the author’s symptoms. It’s obvious that Global Warming is at fault here.
One less wagfag, no one will miss you; just die and stop whining.
Bitch.
If only.
Gird your loins, wimp. We’re just getting started.
Grim Reaper: Shut up! Shut up you American. You always talk, you Americans, you talk and you talk and say ‘Let me tell you something’ and ‘I just wanna say this’, Well you’re dead now, so shut up.
Thank you metrosexual Dana milbank for providing my daily fix of Schadenfreude.....
and Trump is closing it, by making those in blue America ill.....And what is the downside?
“...and I swim most days. The doctor hooked me up to electrodes and ran an EKG; it was normal. He suggested I try an ultra-low-sodium diet...”
Intense exercise and an ultra low sodium diet...genius.
