Title: Florida Man is upset he can't bring his large Donald Trump cutout to dialysis

Good old Florida man. The last line of the link is funny as well, I’m glad that never happened in my center.

Not a fan of Trump, but many people are, and I can see how having a life size standup of him could soothe a serious Republican.

As to "another patient at the dialysis centre brings in bubble wrap and pops it during her treatment": We have an elderly patient who is suffering from dementia, or something similar, she can be a pain to the nurses at times. So when she gets to that stage, they give her a sheet of bubble rap to pop, that keeps her quiet.

Sorry that could be irritating.

The problem I see is in the Fresinius center I go to is a cardboard life size cutout would block site lines to other patients. Each station has a machine and chair next to k]the machine, no place to put Donald except in front of the chair

Not half as irritating as hearing her scream "Nurse" repeatedly, every few minutes, then hear her moan or complain about pointless things.

Or they could make the chair as flat and bed like as is possible, then cuddle up with the Trump in the chair. I'm sure there are plenty of Republicans just dying for an excuse to do that! :)

I think a life size cutout of ANY politician would be annoying.

But not half as annoying as the real thing!
