Per the WH public schedule, Trump's visit to the hospital had not been scheduled in advance.

Possible explanation No. 1:
Being the responsible and even-tempered adult that Trump is, he has decided that the age of 73 is the right time to shake things up and live healthier from now on.

Possible explanation No. 2:
- We know from Trump's past physical exams that he has a slight heart-condition and too much cholesterol. He takes heart-medication.
- Roger Stone is going to jail.
- The impeachment-hearings continue and are not going well, despite him commanding them to be fake news.
- Schiff just added "witness-intimidation" as another impeachable offense to the impeachment-process.






My guess? Giuliani confessed to Trump that he did something really bad and really dumb with respect to Ukraine and Trump had a mild heart-attack.

1. He can't handle even walking anymore

1:10 mark

Notice how winded his speech sounds

[GoCubsGo]

6. Kind of hard to walk when you have

Lindsey Graham and a dozen others up your ass.

[Dem2theMax]

33. That was laugh-out-loud funny!

[Pepsidog]

45. Great point. Thanks a bunch.

[lordsummerisle]

54. I think it was Bill Maher who said

that Lindsey Graham was so far up Trump's ass that Sean Hannity has to scoot over.

[mahina]

2. Or panic attack.

Either way he’s cracking.

[Wawannabe]

38. This

Sent shivers down my spine.
Crack, motherfucker crack!

[delisen]

3. I think Trump is building a medical issues defense

A diagnosis of dementia could get him off federal and state hooks.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. His base would sanctify him. "He gave his health!" . . . nt

[Wawannabe]

39. Oh geez!

I’m betting he has too much “self pride” for that. Being the chosen one and all.

[GoCubsGo]

4. Whatever it is, I'm not buying the "annual physical" bullshit.

My bet is that it's another stunt to distract from the week's events. Which is the result, regardless of what's really going on. Either that, there's some real health issue, like a heart event or a TIA. Most likely, Lindsey Graham or Gym Jordan was suffocating, and had to be extracted from up his ass.

[Peregrine Took]

44. He hates anything that indicates weakness or ill health.

If there was a health concern he would sneak any manner of MD's into the WH.

The fact he had to go to Walter Reed itself means he needed a test done in a hospital, i.e. big equipment such as an MRi machine or a cardiac stress test.

[Mopar151]

5. Welcome to anxiety, fat boy!

Finally, after decades, it's come to your attention that you are, indeed, scared shitless, and you're not gonna slide out of this one! There's no bankruptcy court to trick, no one new to scam for cash.

[NightWatcher]

7. I've said he's going to fake a stroke to get out of office

[malaise]

10. Don't rule this out

[mopinko]

29. i have said repeatedly that those around him could fake on.

i had a tia long ago. someone could easily convince you that you arent making sense when you talk, a little pepper spray to make the skin tingle.
it could be done.

[colorado_ufo]

59. And, of course, there's always Putin.

If he is impeached, and cannot run again, he is no longer of any use to Putin.

[NYC Liberal]

62. Will he pull a "Dave"?

[barbtries]

8. perhaps an overdose.

wouldn't they make him stay overnight if he had a heart attack? some kind of palpitations or something else treatable in a couple hours maybe.

of course they're lying and they're going to keep on lying. that's the real news. we are not allowed to KNOW if the president is having a health crisis, a mental breakdown, or WTF.

[Jarqui]

9. My mother used to advise "if it is not pleasant, don't say it"

I'll leave it at that

[WheelWalker]

15. Mine said the same. However, I was born without a mouth filter.

[Jarqui]

31. I'm as foul mouthed as they come

but there are certain things probably best left unsaid.

[Jarqui]

32. I'm as foul mouthed as they come

Normally, one might hope for a quick recovery ... like I hoped for Jimmy Carter ...

but there are certain things probably best left unsaid.

[Mr.Bill]

35. I go by

"If you have nothing nice to say, sit next to me."

[Haggis for Breakfast]

41. Dorothy Parker !

[Mr.Bill]

49. Is that the origin of that one?

I never knew. Didn't she also say "Martinis are like women's breasts. One is not enough and three are too many"?

[Haggis for Breakfast]

57. Yes, that was the Precious Miss P.

Don't know about the "martinis." She's also the one who said, "If you don't have something nice to say about someone, come sit by me." She was a hoot.

[no_hypocrisy]

64. No, that was Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Teddy's elder daughter.

11. Karma

[Gothmog]

12. I am skeptical

Link to tweet

[dameatball]

13. I'm no expert, but I always assumed that monitoring of a President's health was ongoing. Seems like

it should be to some extent.

[WheelWalker]

14. He asked for a cyanide capsule implant?

[bluestarone]

16. And AGAIN

EVERYONE will lie for him!

[albacore]

17. I wish trump a looooooooong life. I want him to suffer ....

...the humiliation that he's got coming. For decades. He won't live that long, and neither will I, but I can dream, can't I.
If I wished ill health on him, I'd be a terrible person.
But I can wish penury and shame all over his worthless ass.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. If he died in prison I wouldn't shed a tear. Hmm, I wouldn't shed one for him under any circumstance

[Sugar Smack]

20. Hope it's painful.

[BigmanPigman]

24. ...and permanent.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

42. With any luck,

it will make his hair fall out.

[Captain Zero]

21. there was that big argument with Barr in the Oval Office on Friday?

Maybe Rudy related, like Barr telling him there is no way out of impeachment due to dumb shit Rudy and his Ukrainia - Russian pals? Maybe Barr telling him he (Barr) is done?

[mr_lebowski]

22. Those Recto-Cranial Impactions can take a while to get sorted ... (nt)

[Spider Jerusalem]

23. Going to the hospital for a checkup isn't a public event (n/t)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Presidential checkups are normally announced in advance

if routine. If not routine, one might suspect something is wrong.

[DetlefK]

63. The Secret Service must secure the hospital before the President gets there.

They must arrange with the hospital that the President will be kept separate from the other patients. And the hospital must arrange that the President will be examined by the most senior and trustworthy doctors and nurses.

[NightWatcher]

25. trump sat down too fast and got Lindsey's head lodged up his ass.

[tableturner]

27. Didn't need Giuliani's confession....Trump knows about every bit of this mess....it's HIS mess!

[lpbk2713]

28. Gee, I wish I could feel some sympathy for him.

But I just don't think the mofo deserves it given how many other lives he has ruined.

[matt819]

30. This is all lies and theater

What a shock.

The buffoon has executive time every morning. He does fuck all. There is more than enough time in his schedule to have a physical every fucking day of the week.

Something happened. They are never going to tell us, so it’s kind of pointless to speculate. Mild heart attack. Panic attack. Asthma attack. My speculation? Panic attack. You also know that when the results of the physical are released, they will be pure fabrication.

He will be taller than he was last time. His weight will be lower. There will be no reference to slurring or being winded. There may very well be a joking reference to his golf playing. He will be described as the fittest president in the world history.

This entire spectacle is worthy of Kim Jong-un, who, I’m sure, is the model for everything this traitor does.

[George II]

34. Reminds me of Richard Nixon's sudden case of phlebitis.

[Perseus]

36. "the President is taking advantage of a free weekend here in Washington, D.C"

Translation: He will not be playing golf at one of his resorts this week-end, he will have a "free" week-end, tax payers will not be paying this week-end for the con to play golf.

[maxrandb]

37. Putin sent him some tea?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. Bone spur flareup?

............

[Traildogbob]

43. 🙏🏽

Thoughts and prayers. I will not say my thoughts or my prayers out loud. They may offend some. Besides, he is a 230 pound stud, genious, healthiest president in history. What could go wrong? Lost may sympathy with the kids in Cages shit. The McCain shit. Thr Kahn shit. The Puerto Rico shit. The poison the world for cash shit. The destroy health care so we can't fight the cancer he gives us shit. Remember Russian asbestos, seems like decades ago. Oh hell, all the shit he put us through every day. My thought is I want my prayer answered. I will freakin party. Keep laughing, poking and pushing his fat ass out of our lives. No sympathy. Besides, God loves him. He will be in paradise, streets of gold, mansions on a hill. Maybe even virgins. Why is he waiting? Call him home!

[Lars39]

50. Righteous rant, Traildogbob!

[Traildogbob]

58. Thank you

He brings out the worst in us all. Even his cult.

[Pepsidog]

46. Hate to say it but he looked in fine form screaming about his first amendment right to speak on

Friday. This MF’er never gives up. He is a tenacious as he is stupid. Notice how everyone says he has the attention span of a flea. Well when he is hell bent on threatening Ukrainian president he has the attention span of a monk. He was relentless in pursuing dirt on Biden.

[lsewpershad]

47. Maybe he looking

for a medical excuse to escape jail-
Remember how he escaped the draft?

[Johnny2X2X]

48. Chest pains.

Link to tweet

?s=21

[mnhtnbb]

55. Chest pains makes a lot more sense at 5 pm

on a Saturday afternoon than an annual physical. That sounded like BS to me.

[gab13by13]

51. Your mind can make you physically sick,

A narcissist who realizes that a heck of a lot of people hate his guts can have a breakdown. He is scared shitless, he is not a tough guy.
If he loses his 2nd term the statute of limitations for his numerous crimes won't run out. I think he needs lots of medical marijuana.

[nilram]

52. He's anticipating that by January he'll have to pay for his own health care

[Grammy23]

53. Those of us who have had annual physicals know

A lot of the advance work is accomplished with simple blood tests. Ordinary x-rays, such as chest x-rays May be done. If there are more serious symptoms, you may need more extensive tests like stress tests or CT scans. Given his previous exams and their questionable results, we can expect that maybe he has developed some troubling symptoms, such as shortness of breath.

Of course he wants to continue the charade that he is the healthiest President — ever. So he might just slip off to Walter Reed for his tests and then demand that the truth be withheld from everyone. All of us. Like that will protect him from the massive coronary he so richly deserves.

He is still laboring under the delusion that he’s still that studly guy from 1985 who grabbed all the p*ssy he could find and women were swooning at his feet. The fact that he is an overweight guy whose studly days are long gone hasn’t penetrated his brain and probably never will. You can bet his minions and maybe even his doctors are puffing up his ego with lies about how good he looks.

He has probably banned full length mirrors in the White House so he can maintain the delusion.

[CentralMass]

56. Sean Hannity gave him the clap.

[Baitball Blogger]

60. Free weekend?

I thought they didn't aerate the golfcourse fairways until spring?

[Mopar151]

61. Afwaid!

If he gets in Air Force One,.he could be in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba easy as Mar-a-lago.

After the DOJ takes it in forfeit, Mar-a-bedbug could be his Spandau. Move "wall" panels in to fence it! Staff it up with sycophants and community service debtors

[BobTheSubgenius]

65. Gosh, nothing trivial, I hope.

Is that churlish and inappropriate?
