    Donald Trump, Low T Candidate

    By jollyroger on Sat, 09/17/2016 - 9:52pm |

    DISCLAIMER  I am famously (just ask Cville or PP) obsessed with sex, so of course my criticisms of Deadbeat Donald should be viewed through a careful lens...)

    One of the few "hard facts" (see what I did there?) that snuck out from Trump's recent foray into medical transparency, was his total blood testosterone level, viz:

    441

    In his smirking interchange, Trump evinces satisfaction in being informed by Mehmet Oz (upon whom I will not bestow the customery honorific...) that this is "very good".

    No worries.

    Except that a perusal of this reference chart of average total testosterone levels as they correspond to age seems to show Trump with a number that would be "average" (and only  average) for a man  significantly older.

    To be precise, his 441 nestles nicely between the 75-84 year old bracket and the 85-100 bracket, viz 471 for the younger cohort and 376 for the older.

    The hands do not lie...

    Indeed, extrapolation would result in a judgement that his pitiful number would be about right for an average male (no raging bull, mind you...) of about 87!

    Next thing you know, he'll be claiming that his Cialis script is only for the benign prostatic hypertrophy.

    Not that I fault him--I believe that it is a mistake to outlive the presence in your blood of reproductive hormones;  if you're not making your own, go out and buy some--surely a Trumpish solution, non?

    For that matter, we cannot know whether Trump has already made the move to Androgel, and is already sporting enhanced numbers.

    That said, the bottom line is this:

    T for Trump,....Low T.

    No need to get testy, Jolly!  Bravo for this.  We all need hard facts to confront the short fingered, flabby vulgarian.

    I got your testy right here....

    Jan Maugans And your point is? We get it you hate HILLARY. Why don't you go back to obsessing about sex, or maybe even tell us about HRS's opponent?

    You must have missed the memo--I have modified my position on HRC...

    Having elsewhere conceded that she may have understandable urgings towards the guardedness and orwellian  word usage that makes us grind our teeth, and surveying the present lay of the land, one could posit the following scenario which would weaponize the continued secrecy of the transcripts:

    HRC-you see my transcripts, we see your tax returns 

    AND, since we all know you to be a deadbeat and a welsher, the information is lodged in escrow with a third party before any release.

     

    It will convey his lack of trustworthiness and her use of leverage simultaneously.

     

    This manuever, of course, is available only because she stonewalled.

    That comment seemed to be deserved to me.  But I know you have to be firm with ladies like me.  I simply can't take HRC insults lying down.  I didn't know you had modified your position.  This is huge!  

    OK, I am punned out.  TRUCE!!!!!

    Hmmm, singular? I figured you had 2 or 3 testies. No wonder you been grumpy.

    <opengroan>Well, sure, but be on notice:  My ONE outweighs most twos...<closegroan>

    Peniscillin is still your ticket out of this mess - unless you are indeed an Elephant Man., in which case dragging it around like ball and chain is just your fate. At least easy to trail.

    The meta:  What should we infer about Deadbeat Donald's assessment vis-a-vis the blind credulity upon which he can safely count .

     

    He has taken care wherever possible to avoid precision, numerical precision above all.

     

    How the fuck does he have the balls (pun intended) to fuckin' FLAuNT a testosterone number that is manifestly punk?

     

    Surely I cannot be the only  person with the curiosity to google what his number means?

     

    Granted he didn't "grow u[" with The Google, but still!

    Your mistake is thinking Trump knows or cares to know about anything. Oz said his T was very good. That's all Trump cares about. he doesn't care whether it's true or false, whether the person saying it is knowledgable or a fool, whether they are a good person or a bad person. All he cares about is that someone said he was very good in some way.

    True, "incurious" is one of the most frequent words pick00ed to describe him by a wide variety of acquaintances.

    Low T-Count?
