18. Most of us make do with yearly visits because we're unimportant

Tuesday

but having the emperor of the universe go in every 6 months is pretty unremarkable.

Raising this much alarm over venous insufficiency in an 80 year old man is a little remarkable unless he's been too vain to wear compression stockings/ACE wraps (if he's too fat) and refuses to take diuretics because of the inconvenience of frequent bathroom visits. It's either that or they're starting to prepare his ignorant base for his departure,, probably after midterm results spoil all his despotic fun.

It might also put his uncharacteristic non working retreat to Camp David (a place he dislikes) into clearer focus: he went to sulk.
