(32,610 posts)latest breaking news about Hillary's trust numbers.
That damn woman is winning and they just can't have that.
Also, Trump's letter was from a male doctor so it is automatically legitimate.
Please get with the program. Hillary's doctor is a woman so it is suspect.

(18,636 posts)Technically, it's old news. This happened late last year I think, but someone is finally looking into it. I'm sure it'll be everywhere if Newsweek finds anything. That's how news works.

(18,636 posts)Some people get upset that MSNBC isn't a left wing counterpart to Fox News that actively works for the Democratic Party. Personally, I don't want to see that, but many criticize the network for not taking an active part in the campaign, even to the point of threatening a boycott or implying the mighty unseen Oligarchs are silencing them. That seems utterly ridiculous for a real news agency.
The weird report that Trump released is indeed suspicious enough, but without hard evidence that it was faked it's just that, suspect. As I said, if Newsweek uncovers any hard proof that Trump wrote this himself, I'm sure all the media outlets will jump on it. Meanwhile, it's no more than fodder for the online conspiracy theorists, but I'm glad a credible source is looking into it.
Sorry if I offended your sensitive nature on this not so breaking news from last year.

(9,359 posts)What scares me is Trump's mental health. I think every presidential candidate should be subject to a mental exam and that those records should be made public.
But then again, I'm not in charge of such things.
