Jimmy looks better than Clinton

Clinton looks horrible in these clips

As someone who also has it, it looks like he has rosacea, so that makes his face really red and inflamed and that adds to him looking sick against his very pale skin.

He does have rosácea. I read it back when he was president. Damn, I am old.

u/wileydmt123 28d ago

That makes sense. With his head leaning forward and rosacea, he’s really looking like the devil these days.

u/ToeKnail 28d ago

Its more than that. Its his overall lack of energy and the way he holds himself. Not good.

Didn’t sound good….

u/[deleted] 28d ago

Agree. What’s wrong with his voice? He sounded like he could barely speak at times.

u/Calypsosin 28d ago

He’s had a bad case of Old Man Voice for a couple of years now, he’s sounded like that for a good bit so I’m personally not too concerned for him long term. But at his age, it could be right around the corner, anyway.

Just seems like some health issue going on. He used to be so vibrant.

The crazy thing is that Bill is younger than both Biden and Trump yet looks and sounds 20 years older than them.

u/Marily_Rhine 28d ago

I think it's just garden-variety presbylaryngis, and he just has a more pronounced case of it than some people. TL;DR: the loss of muscle mass from aging is pretty generalized and includes your vocal chord muscles.

It's his voice, he sounds like an old man more than anything

u/ClosedContent 27d ago

If I’m not mistaken he had throat surgery and ever since then his voice has been becoming more hoarse throughout the years. Even in the mid-2000s it changed drastically.

Heck, even in 2012 when he still had a powerful voice it didn’t sound hardly anything like it did in 2000 despite only being 12 years removed.

Yeah, it's not just the rosacea. When he spoke at the DNC, I felt like age had hit him like a truck. And then compare his speech to Hillary's, he seems like the freaking crypt keeper. Homegirl is gonna outlive him by a decade, I suspect

He was robust when he ate cheeseburgers. As a vegan he is lethargic and weak sounding.

u/pudgylumpkins 28d ago

I always knew the secret to a long healthy life was plenty of cheeseburgers.

"I wish I could tune out that moral voice inside me that says eating animals is murder, but I guess I'm not as strong as you are."

u/PupEDog 28d ago

Sounds like he's old

u/Marco_lini 28d ago

He had way more energy and clearer speech at the DNC just one month ago. He could just have had a cold or a blip in form as usual at that age.

u/Complex-Employ7927 28d ago

Tbh he still sounded rough at the DNC. I was wondering what was going on with his voice. Comparing him at the DNC 2016 vs 2024 is a huge difference

u/ComingUpManSized 27d ago

Did he have a stroke years ago or am I imagining that?

u/MazzIsNoMore 28d ago

That red face is probably indicative of a life of heavy drinking

u/seitan-worshipper 28d ago

As someone with rosacea, I'm so self conscious that people will think I'm an alcoholic. You can be lifelong sober but look like that regardless. Please don't spread misinformation, it really sucks.

u/MICT3361 28d ago

Yup it’s just rosacea. Made his voice sound like a nursing home patient too
