What's Going on with Trump's Cankles?

August 26, 202500:40
00:00:00
Trump's cankle thing. I know people are
00:00:01
like, uh, it's really odd. Alex Jones is
00:00:04
concerned about Trump's health. He
00:00:06
warned last week at the current
00:00:07
trajectory, Trump is going to have some
00:00:08
sort of collapse within the next 12
00:00:10
months. Thank you, Dr. Jones. Trump's
00:00:12
hands are also looking questionable with
00:00:13
all those odd smears of makeup. I'm not
00:00:16
sure why they aren't controlling this,
00:00:18
especially with the makeup and
00:00:19
everything else. Largely because he's
00:00:21
probably very vain and everything else,
00:00:22
but he's obviously aged rather
00:00:24
significantly in so many ways, and I
00:00:26
think it's taking its toll on him. Um,
00:00:28
it feels like he's rotting.
00:00:29
The cankles are noteworthy. And the if
00:00:31
the cankles are as wide as Alex Jones's
00:00:34
neck, you know that there's something
00:00:36
concerning there.
