Following a carefully manicured, four-day convention in which Donald Trump’s chief lieutenants branded him as an avatar of stability and Joe Biden as the pied-piper of race riots, the president did what he always does: He casually disposed of his team’s messaging in the service of nursing personal grudges.

This week, it was about how his brain isn’t dying.

“It never ends!” the president tweeted Tuesday, in denial of reporting and speculation that his stated reasoning for going to Walter Reed in November was a bogus cover for a much more serious procedure. “Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate - FAKE NEWS.”

The pushback didn’t end there. Some of Trump’s top officials were soon enlisted to aid in the effort to assure the public that the president’s brain was, indeed, functioning incredibly well. Shortly after Trump’s tirade about “mini-strokes,” his re-election campaign called for CNN to fire an analyst who asked his Twitter followers whether the president was hiding a past stroke from the American public.

“CNN should fire Joe Lockhart, a lifetime failure who thought it was a great idea for fellow loser Michael Dukakis to put on that stupid helmet, for knowingly pushing a conspiracy theory about President Trump’s health,” an unsigned statement from the campaign read. “If another CNN employee said similar things about Barack Obama they’d be fired immediately, so the same standard should be applied here.”

1. If Trump really did have a functioning brain he'd stop talking about it.

The more he talks about it, the more people pay attention to whether he does and notice the ways in which he doesn't.

2. Perhaps a bag of soup would help....nt

3. He's definitely demented. Thinks a mini stroke is some kind of golf term?
