The mystery of Trump's unannounced hospital visit

[DesertRat]

By Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent

Trump's unannounced visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last weekend spurred speculation about his health from the public, and from doctors. In a statement late Monday night, the White House doctor said that the President underwent "a routine, planned" checkup and attributed "scheduling uncertainties" for keeping the trip off the record.

We know that Trump is 73 years old, has heart disease and is clinically obese. For any man of that age and medical history, an unexpected visit to the hospital is concerning.
Over the past week, I have spoken to doctors who've previously worked at the White House and those who are currently in touch with the White House. They all say that what happened last weekend is unusual: an unscheduled hospital visit for what was characterized as very routine testing -- testing that could have been done at the White House.

Given that the White House had previously given plenty of advance notice about the President's past physical exams, last weekend's visit to Walter Reed reportedly took everyone by surprise, including much of the staff at the hospital itself. Whenever the President is planning a visit to Walter Reed, an institution-wide notice goes out, making staff aware of certain road and corridor closings. According to a person familiar with the matter, that didn't happen last weekend.

Also striking: the fact that the president's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, rode with Trump in the presidential motorcade. Typically, the doctor rides separately from the President for security reasons. A former White House doctor told me it had never happened during their time there.

George Conway: Oh, and the White House just now happens to be telling the press that Trump is now “working” more in the private residence. Purely coincidentally, of course.

1. They ought to give him more room to work

[smirkymonkey]

6. Exactly how I imagined it.

Hope he strokes out soon and saves us all a lot of grief.

[Captain Zero]

29. Stroke could leave him debilitated to a degree that

they would hide him in the residence (like happened with Woodrow Wilson) and then family would be the president. I'm not ok with Jarvanka any more in charge than they already are. Smith would be involved in that too.

[maddiemom]

42. It would be nearly impossible today to pull off the "Woodrow Wilson scam."

OTH, modern technology has innumerable tricks at hand. I certainly agree with Jarvanka, et. al. NOT taking charge. They are, apparently, already envisioning a Trump family dynasty: not something we've usually heard from presidential families with the exception of Joe Kennedy Sr.

[NCLefty]

84. It would still be better than Trump. He is the core of the evil.

[TheBlackAdder]

20. Can't jack to PornHub when people keep barging into the room.

[mr_lebowski]

28. Warning to all ... do NOT investigate this matter unless you're alone and ... not easily shocked

Although if you been contemplating those 'internet parental controls' ... you will very soon find the motivation if you do so ...

[CaptYossarian]

36. Label it NSFL: Not Safe For Lunch.

[PCIntern]

59. I have it on good authority that its Youporn.com.

Maybe not.....

[Botany]

66. I hate you

That image of Trump jacking off is really scary.

[AZ8theist]

86. Just think "tweezers"...

[ffr]

47. lol

[Thomas Hurt]

52. yep, watching fox and tweeting in between perusing his touch myself folders of news stories.

[octoberlib]

2. He hasn't golfed for a month.

[UniteFightBack]

14. Whoa....yes something is going on here. nt

[DENVERPOPS]

26. You know how

You know how the Viagara commercials say: "If you have an erection lasting over four hours get immediate help????????"

That is far more likely than for us to be lucky enough for him to have a minor MI or a stroke..........

[CaptYossarian]

35. How would he know? Would his pupils dilate?

That widdle mushroom is no indicator and we expect his nose to get longer.

[DENVERPOPS]

37. He would know

He would know, if he looked down and it hadn't returned to looking like a second navel..............

[CaptYossarian]

63. Okay, you topped me. Congrats!

[DENVERPOPS]

69. Sorry,

I thought yours was most excellent also!!!!!!!!!! If we keep it up we may be famous some day........

[snort]

57. His toupee lifts a couple of inches.

[CaptYossarian]

60. Like a squirrel begging for a nut.

[DesertRat]

70. Ewww

Who would be the unlucky recipient of that erection? I doubt Melanie goes anywhere near him when there aren't cameras around.

[sheshe2]

77. His tiny hand.

[DesertRat]

78. Ewww

[onenote]

15. Same thing in 2017 and 2018

The weather in DC isn't particularly golf friendly once you hit late October. So he stops playing until he gets to Florida for Thanksgiving in late November.

I'll be surprised if he isn't on the course once he gets to Florida.

[blogslut]

71. Oh

That's a notable point

[UpInArms]

3. I hope he chokes to death

On a Big Mac

[DENVERPOPS]

41. Be Very Very Careful with what you say

With the Current state of things, be very very careful with what you say.........

He might have his DOJ & Secret Service arrest you, have you swept away to Russia and put in one of Putin's Gulags.........

Or use the DOJ to find out your name and address and forward it to the main branch of the KKK or some other similar Trump Humpers.

SERIOUSLY...........And to those tens of millions of you who are on facebook and oblivious to how you are getting fucked over.....good luck to you imbeciles............

[UpInArms]

64. Wishing that someone's known proclivities

Leads to their timely demise is in no way illegal or threatening

If anyone takes offense, they can knock on my door and call me out face to face

I have no fear for my wish to end the madness that the Dotard creates.

[DENVERPOPS]

65. Thank you for the clarification

But in today's times, I wouldn't trust anything.

Besides, the old adage of: Only the good die young. Proof? Just look at all the supreme asshole politicians living into their nineties, the only exception being Jimmy Carter. One of the finest men I have ever had the pleasure to sit and talk with. Genuine, Sincere, and Earnest in his care for people.......he is alone in a crowd..........

[cyclonefence]

4. He was having a stroke

[USALiberal]

10. Link? Nt

[cyclonefence]

30. No link

but you can have a stroke with symptoms like slurred speech, trouble understanding what is said to you, weakness--not as dramatic as a heart attack, but serious and needing medical attention and going to the hospital for tests right away. Stroking out would explain a lot of what went on that are not dramatic enough for a heart attack.

[AZ8theist]

34. How would you be able to tell...

The difference between a stroke and his normal stupidity??

[cyclonefence]

85. Good question!

[kag]

13. YES!

A stroke or a heart attack of some kind. Anyone who doesn't believe this is being foolish.

If it were something "minor" they would come out with it. But they're guarding his health information like it's his tax returns. It was serious, and they need to fucking tell us about it!

[obamanut2012]

55. Or a series of TIAs

[WhiteTara]

5. well, if the stress is getting to him

he may drop dead from a heart attack because it's not getting better. He may think he has a breather because DC is closed; but it's not going to stop. I'm excited about the O Lordy there are tapes banter and looking forward to Schiff sharing them with us.

[Mike 03]

7. Don't you folks know it's "very dangerous" to question what Stephanie Grisham told us about this.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. will questioning speed up the stroke? just asking, y'know, for a friend

[kag]

16. Can I be your friend?

'Cause I want to know, too!

[kozar]

8. and yet,

we know every little thing about RBG, damn the leftist MSM!

[duforsure]

11. Trump and the doctor are our employees, aren't they,

So shouldn't we have the right to demand drug and alcohol tests randomly, and get those results? If his blood work showed anything that endangers our National Security, or issues statements that aren't true , and he hides it, or helps promote lies, shouldn't that doctor be liable for criminal charges? I suspect his secrets will be exposed, and it's much worse than anyone could imagine. Congestive heart issues, drug abuse and maybe alcohol abuse, which addiction does run in his family. He may know it's his health now so much he is struggling with everything. We'll know soon if he has ivankie take over all his duties as president because he's too bad to do anything, and stops appearing in public, hiding. He's also now scared the GOP will turn on him if anything gets out to them. I doubt he makes it to the election, and we have a hiding president who is very, very sick.

[Botany]

12. Trump has been on statin drugs for years and he is chronically obese too.

BTW if Trump is 6'3" and just 240 lbs then I played for Ohio State last weekend.
You might have seen me #2 Running back (J.K. Dobbins)

[kag]

21. He's gotta be on BP medication as well.

If his BP is really 118 over 80 (from your link) without meds, then I'm a prima ballerina dancing the Nutcracker at Carnegie Hall!

[Botany]

32. He is 6'3" and 230 lbs too .... I hope you have some good shows

[kag]

48. Back atchya!

[Botany]

51. Beast!

5'10", 230 lbs, 4.3 in the 40, & and squats w/700 lbs.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

54. Trump is shorter by 2 inches

Than I am. I'm 6 ft.tall. lol.

[Botany]

62. Obama is a legit 6'2" and Canada's Trudeau is 6'2" and both are taller than Trump

Trump lies about everything.

[VarryOn]

80. And he's elderly, too nt

[Silent3]

17. I disagree

"...an unexpected visit to the hospital is concerning."

In some cases, it's a ray of hope.

[lunatica]

31. I see what you did there

So you’re a glass half full kind of person. Me too!

[CrispyQ]

18. Big Mac Attack.

[gab13by13]

19. I can't imagine

the amount of cortisol that Trump produces every day.

[softydog88]

24. I think there's another possibility.

It may be setting the stage for a medical resignation to save face. Just in case a few Republicans grow some character and backbone and, like in 1974, tell the Orange Sphincter (TM Bill Maher) to resign for the good of the nation.

[lunatica]

33. One can only hope.

[trixie2]

50. Ooooooh! I like the way you think!

[DENVERPOPS]

68. or to

Or to begin a history in order to claim a mental disorder or mental defect as a defense for all the shit these past three years when he gets convicted for crimes against his own people at the Hague........

In reality, he will die of massive Big Mac Attack or a Kentucky Fried Stroke long before then..........

[Traildogbob]

25. Trump "Fast"!!!!

😆😂😁😬😄😀😂😆😂

[dbonds]

27. The Rumors We have heard...

1) A Stroke.
2) Heart Attack or Problem
3) Panic Attack
4) Poisoning Attempt or Feared Attempt.

Truth can't be any worse than the rumors.

[hurple]

38. Hope they keep him relatively healthy

I want that sob to pay for all the crimes he's committed throughout his life before he croaks it.

[47of74]

39. Having so many heads up ones butt must hurt

Maybe having them all removed was why Herr Orange went to the hospital

[Crowman2009]

43. Jeff Sessions can fit up there quite easily from what I've heard.

That's just asking for an SNL sketch. C'mon Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin, LET'S DO THIS!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

56. Hahaha

[Marcuse]

40. He doesn't trust the White House medical staff.

[Talitha]

44. Compare profile photos from 2015 until now, and the weight gain is very evident.

I'm guessing he had medical problems before stealing office, but we'll never know unless we find out what was in those records that his goons took while raiding the office of his former 'doctor'.

[demtenjeep]

81. could you post the profiles side by side?

I guess I do not know how to

[Talitha]

82. Do a web search - there's plenty of pics online.

It's easy to compare them.

[NewJeffCT]

45. "working" more at his private residence?

does that remind anybody else of Hitler in his bunker at the end?

[DesertRat]

72. Yes, bunker mentality. Is the end nigh?

[NewJeffCT]

73. we can hope it's near

but, somehow I think we're going to have to endure him through November of 2020

[DesertRat]

74. I don't know how he'll maintain a gruelling campaign schedule

[ffr]

46. Have another greasy cheeseburger you POS!

Just die already.

[benld74]

49. tRump drags right foot noticeably on videos I've seen

[Gothmog]

53. trump has not played golf since this trip to Walter Reed

Link to tweet

[Runningdawg]

61. Trump played his last golf game 10-26

[onenote]

75. In 2017 and 2018, he didn't play golf between late October and Thanksgiving

So, at the moment, the fact he hasn't played golf in the past several weeks is SOP.

[Grasswire2]

58. I still say it was a stunt to capture the conversation for the weekend. nt

[essme]

67. I wondered if one

of his family was sick. He was walking fast, and without assistance to the car.

[dflprincess]

76. Which would indicate no one was concerned about his heart at that moment

Unless it was Ivanka family member could make him move that fast?

It was either a diversion or a panic attack. I can imagine the doctor taking to the hospital just to calm him down as I'm sure Spanky would have thought it was having a heart attack.

[Maru Kitteh]

83. He couldn't give a pink twinkie about his "family." They are mere accessories

in more ways than one.

[Buns_of_Fire]

79. Maybe he was being fitted for a peepee prosthesis.

Or being treated for chapped ass (Memo to all Cabinet Officials: Cabinet members are now required to apply ChapStick before meetings).
