The New York Magazine''s Intelligencer section certainly knows its liberal readers as one that lately, along with many others of the their fellow liberals, is suddenly very very interested in the health of President Donald Trump. Not out of any sympathetic concern for his health but out of a ghoulish fascination that could remove him from performing his presidential duties which is currently a sick fascination among the "When It Happens" cult at TikTok. They don't come right out and specifically state what they hope happens (to Trump) but any sentient observer knows exactly what they are talking about despite them acting as if they are oh so clever and coy.
Very consciously catering to the extreme desires of the ghouls was Intelligencer senior editor Margaret Hartman giving her readers a strong dose of liberal Hopium on Sunday with "What’s the Deal With Trump’s Hand Bruise and Health Issues?"
Hartman served up a microanalysis of Trump's hands in extreme detail, something that most would normally find boring, but has been of intense interest to her ghoulish liberal readers precisely because of whose hands was being discussed:
Normally, a 79-year-old man having a bruise on his hand wouldn’t be much of a story. But that changes when the septuagenarian in question is Donald Trump.
Trump’s injury was first spotted weeks after the 2024 election, which he won in part by bullying Joe Biden for his decrepitude while pretending he himself possessed almost superhuman health and mental acuity. For months, the White House dismissed Trump’s bruising as one of those hand-shaking injuries you’re always hearing about. Then when Trump’s terrible hand makeup and swollen ankles raised too many questions, the administration admitted he has a condition known as chronic venous insufficiency.
Yet questions about Trump’s health, and his bizarrely terrible attempts to conceal his physical issues, have persisted. Here’s a guide, which we’ll keep updated, to everything we know about Trump’s health and how the White House is handling his illness.
You can easily discern by the second paragraph which expresses hostility towards Trump that that there is no genuine concern on the part of Hartman over the President's health. All she seems to do is provide a lot of details in which her readers can fantasize about "When It Happens."
The rest of the article was Hartman listing a bunch of questions which she attempts to answer in a way to provide grist for the rumor mill of liberal ghouls hungering for any bit of information to fill their joyless lives. Here is the list of her section heading questions:
How long has Trump had this hand bruise?
What did Trump say about the bruise?
How did the White House explain Trump’s hand bruising?
Is Trump’s bruise always in the same place?
How long has Trump been putting makeup on his hand?
What’s going on with Trump’s ankles?
What happened with those red mark on Trump’s hand?
How did Trump reveal his chronic-venous-insufficiency diagnosis?
What is chronic venous insufficiency?
Is chronic venous insufficiency fatal?
What treatment is Trump being given?
What’s the latest news on Trump’s health?
Is Trump still covering up the hand bruise?
One question that seems to be missing is "When did Margaret Hartman become a TDS Hopium Ghoul?"
To be clear, this mental sickness has spread even to elected officials with former Democrat vice-presidential candidate and current Minnesota governor Tim Walz going full hopeful ghoul on the state of the President's health:
.@Tim_Walz, mocking President Trump’s health is a new low, even for you. Wishing ill on others doesn’t make you a leader—it makes you small.
