Trump just arrived at Walter Reed to begin physical.

White House spox: "Anticipating a very busy 2020, the President is taking advantage of a free weekend here in Washington, D.C., to begin portions of his routine annual physical exam at Walter Reed."

I wonder how his dieting this past year went.

"At his physical exam last year, the 6-foot-3-inch Trump weighed 239 pounds, according to his doctor. Trump, who has a common form of heart disease, embarked on a mission last year to lose some weight."

Typically it would be on a schedule and nothing would seem odd. With him, everything seems odd. Wonder what “portions” they’re doing. If he had something like a colonoscopy Pence’s would have to have the reins.

Blood work - imaging
old farts need more done. He might be due for the big stuff.

Although my money is on either he took the wrong pill and needs intervention or got so worked up they stuck him in just to keep him from ripping the wall paper off the walls.

He and his people almost never tell the truth, so it's probably a lie that this was for the checkup.

Like a science fiction story where clones are considered property under the law. And once stripped of spare parts, probably hunted for sport by Uday and Qusay

In a good story, the twist would be one of the clones figuring out how to trade places with the "owner" just before the hunt...

During this morning's scheduled ass-kissing session, Dear Leader hiccuped, sucking Senator Graham into his lower intestine. Normally, this might be considered an emergency, but the doctors at Walter Reed are skilled at the removal procedure, usually having to extract at least two republican senators a week from the presidential glory hole.

Trump's 2 previous physical exams in office were announced ahead of time by the White House and noted on his daily public schedule.
This time, the President's motorcade drove to Walter Reed unannounced, w/ reporters directed not to report the movement until arriving @ Walter Reed

This does not add up; the White House Medical Unit has very comprehensive facilities at the White House complex that could easily accommodate most of what is needed in an annual physical. As a fmr USSS Agent assigned POTUS, I have never seen the annual formality occur in stages.
