Reporters Annie Linskey, Josh Dawsey and Meridith McGraw of The Wall Street Journal in a knives-out look at Donald Trump’s health (paywalled; Apple News+):
Trump, 79, the oldest man to assume the presidency, is showing signs of aging in public and private, according to people close to him.
The piece is filled with several face-palming examples of Trump’s poor health regime (he “uses aspirin for ‘cardiac prevention,’” and takes 325 milligrams a day—which he’s been doing for 25 years—because he wants “nice, thin blood pouring through” his heart), but this bit made me chuckle:
His physical signs of aging are becoming more evident to some of his closest advisers. His skin is so delicate that Pam Bondi, now his attorney general, caused his hand to bleed when she nicked him with her ring while giving him a high-five at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
This paragraph was under the subhead “Delicate skin.” So much for metaphors.
