GET ME REWRITE: Trump's steady diet of corrosive hate is hazardous to his health

 
Headline:  Raw Story, 10/16/2025

Robert Reich comments:
Even though we’re almost the same age, Trump has one big health problem I don’t have: his hatefulness. 
“I hate my opponents,” he says. 
Hate is a corrosive. It eats away at one’s health. It attacks a hater’s central nervous system by releasing stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. It compromises a hater’s cardiovascular system with high blood pressure and heart disease. It weakens immune systems, making the hater more vulnerable to all sorts of illnesses. It weakens gastro-intestinal systems, causing stomachaches, nausea, and other digestive problems. It leads to difficulties falling and staying asleep. It causes muscle tensions that harm the jaw and neck, such as clenching and teeth grinding, and contributes to headaches and migraines.
