Per Aaron Rupar (Vox): Trump is getting his physical today

No, Dr. Ronnie Jackson will not be performing it today...LOL



Some of the comments are delicious!
This is the one I HOPE is true:

They’re preparing an exit strategy if we’re lucky. He’s not healthy enough to remain in office.






Trump was at Walter Reed about a month ago supposedly visiting troops but no photos were ever released. So there might be something going on. If he hasn't blackmailed/extorted or paid off all the physicians, they surely ought to be doing some brain scans and specific dementia testing (and no, not the silly screening test that his last doctor pointed to.

3 years ago? Alzheimer's has a hereditary component for sure. Most neurologists who have spoken out, think Trump has another form of dementia, though, known as frontotemporal dementia (FTD)

He still needs a way to shield himself from any further investigations and indictments, and a health problem won't do that. I think the only way a health problem gets him out of OUR HOUSE is if it's a FINAL health problem. ...knowwhatImean...

state and federal charges. He will then hop a plane to Russia where he will spend the rest of his life, with the help of a presidential pension.

They usually lock you up in a secure mental health facility if that's the case. But that might allow him to get away with all of this. Let's hope we can get our felon-grabbing hands on The Princess (Ivanka) and the Pea (Jared) and the other two morons.

It would also be interesting if The Orange One's ego would allow himself to be designated as mentally ill/incompetent.

I don't know about the retirement in Russia. Vlad won't have much use for after this all blows up.

Epstein's residences cuz he's dead. With the amount of money he alleges to have he could pay for and have his mental health treatment at Mar a Lago or at any other hotel he owns. I'll bet he finds one in a country that doesn't allow extradition.

I think the Rs are setting their ducks in a row and have been talking to him today and explaining that resigning due to his mental capacity is the only thing that will keep him out of jail. It may not happen as quick as we'd like but I think any announcement of his resignation will come in the middle of the night.

into issuing just enough generic info to seed his lies.

To be honest, the best thing that could happen for the country is if he dropped from a massive MI or stroke tomorrow-- just writing this makes me feel creepy as I don't normally wish ill on anyone. That said, it would likely feed Q-anon and InfoWar conspiracies for eternity.
