He’s clearly obese. And with his diet, the cholesterol must be off the charts. Plus all that pop is surely contributing to his diabetes. The fast food sodium and sedetentary lifestyle has got to be causing massive hypertension. The COPD wheezing is obvious as are the adderal/cocaine sniffles and rages. Oh yeah he’s in fine shape. A real piece of work.

any of his blood/urine tests came back. It's ridiculous. You can tell by looking at him that he has one foot in the grave. If it wasn't for that ridiculous fake tan and that piss colored comb-over, he would look even worse. He can barely walk 50 feet without getting winded.

Whatever. As long as he believes them and keeps shoving the greasy fast food and diet-coke down his pie-hole, it's just as well. He's on the fast track for a major coronary.

And you know that he's going to live to be 116, because that's simply the way the world works.

Have you seen that giant buffet of his favorite foods? That can't be healthy.
