The guy we have to thank for Dick Cheney living as long as he did with extraordinary heart problems says that president Donald Trump ain’t looking too hot.
“The president has not looked well,” wrote Jonathan Reiner, a professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University, in a new essay for The New York Times.
Reiner acted as Cheney’s cardiologist for 27 years, so he knows a thing or two about politicians in failing coronary health; the former vice president’s heart problems were so frequent and so publicized that the rapper Marshall “Eminem” Mathers made fun of them in one of his most iconic songs.
He — Reiner, not Eminem — notes some of the things many of you have probably noticed already about the president, who just turned 80 in June: the large bruises that’ve been visible on both of Trump’s hands, the swelling in his legs, and how the chief executive frequently dozes off.
