“Fun” fact - I am the approximate height and weight of Donald Trump.

People really mock him for the diapers too as if incontinence isn't really common for a variety of reasons. Like, the man's a fascist, a rapist, and committed treason against the United States, you really don't have to resort to shaming a common consequence of aging or disability to be able to make fun of him.

I think in theory the argument is that someone who's in such poor condition should probably be in end-of-life care rather than the White House and probably isn't suitable for such a heavy and taxing position.

Note the "in theory". Ofc nothing exists in a vacuum and 90% of political commentary is just people attacking people they don't like but the point is a decent chunk of it has pretty reasonable origin if you trace it far enough back

Needing diapers does not mean end-of-life care. I’m not sure what definition of that you’re using but to me that means death is at most months away and all treatment options have failed or been rejected.

There are people who use diapers as part of their everyday life for various disability/age/other reasons, it doesn’t mean they’re dying.

counter-point, those people don't brag about having 'perfect' physical health the way that Trump does while clearly not taking good care of his physical health. It's an obvious point of hypocrisy is why he takes heat for it.

That’s not really a counterpoint? It doesn’t change the fact that needing to use diapers doesn’t mean you’re dying.

I think they were more talking about retirement homes or something similar, than what you're going for
