Obvious deterioration both mentally and physically, progressing rapidly, grossly swollen legs and feet and history of Transient Ischemic Attacks, I would advise against a 20,000 mile round trip airline flight, no matter how mobile you could in fact be during that flight.
This trip has potential to be highly problematic health-wise. But what do I know?

For those here old enough to remember ....
............wouldn't be the first time our government did that........
If I were China, I wouldn't let him anywhere near my country......and in all truth, "Mr. Worldly" couldn't even point out China on a blank map............

Ocelot II
(131,159 posts)is pressurized to the equivalent of 10,000 feet above seal level, which is at about the limit of where you can start to get hypoxia. So an overweight 80-year-old with possible congestive heart failure and a history of TIAs flying to China is basically going to be sitting on top of San Jacinto Peak for 10 hours. Many hours at 10,000' can reduce O2 saturation to about 88%, which might not be a good thing for said overweight 80-year-old.

The more risk this horrible person takes with fragile physical health and a blown mind never should be subject to restriction.

And he is not in better shape since then.

1. The stress of travel could kill him.
2. He's not awake after midnight tweeting.
