@sungo Those are the ones I had!! And yes, ridiculously expensive. But when you’re doing the zombie chemo shuffle and can’t feel your feet from the neuropathy, they really make your life better. @epicdemiologist

@sungo The opening isn’t big enough to go over a coat, and takes forever to slide into. @epicdemiologist

The biggest flex right now—if Trump were actually the insanely successful billionaire he claims to be—would be writing a check as if it’s a mere nuisance and moving on.

Andrew Weissmann nails it again, “this guy can’t be trusted to run a company for three years without a babysitter?”

But we’re going to let him run the most powerful country on the planet????”

@sungo The cuff doesn’t really provide any support at all. I have seen, but never used, the kind that are called “forearm” crutches, where you rest your entire forearm on a plate and hen hold the “handle.” Those would give you excellent support, I imagine. @epicdemiologist

Per Rupar, as news is breaking about his huge fine, Trump is ranting on Lies Antisocial about pics of him w/ his stomach hanging out over his belt while he's golfing as fakes, posting other pics side by side.

And...

@sungo I went through several sets before finding the right cuff. I like the ones that will stay on your arm. They have to be both closed enough for your arm to not slip out, but open enough to slip over it in the winter if you’re wearing a heavy coat. I never found anything adjustable, which would have made much more sense. @epicdemiologist

Which do you suppose hurts him more, the millions or that he can’t do business in NY for 3 years?

@GottaLaff

Realistically, here's what will happen. He needs, in toto, around $600M in bonds. It will be lost money in either event, should he settle now, or appeal (w/ adjustments, obv). The bulk of that money will have to come from loans secured by properties.

If he can generate enough cash before an appeal would be settled to pay the bill, then he'll appeal. But if he's put in the position of having to sell properties later (in the public realm), then he'll take the loss now. That's the way I see it. It depends on his near term future liquidity.
