Since the White House and Trump claim his unscheduled trip to Walter Reed was "routine," we can be certain it wasn't.
Trump even when out of his way to stress that it wasn't unusual exactly the same way he normally obfuscates:trying to add the lie to a sentence or series of phrases so that it seems normal but it never works.
But what was it? One site (relating the contention of a Hill contributor) claims it was chest discomfort.
Is this the best we know? What about overuse of Sudafed? Fat-ass digestive problems? the garbage dump that is is soul?

(18,748 posts)I wonder if Donald has heard of the "Sandwich So Delicious it Causes Ordinary People to Lose Their Minds." He might enjoy replacing the 2 Big Macs & 2 Fish Fillets lunch with 4 of these. He can also lord it over everyone, that HE's eating the coveted Popeyes chicken sandwich every day.
I believe that if one were to wring the grease out of this sandwich, there'd be very little left of it.

(17,984 posts)That Trump had chest pains and that he has heart disease.
That could be congestive heart failure. He is bloated. That much is clear.

It's also gotta be hard on a poor man's heart. Squeezes it till it is the size of a rabbit turd.

(14,490 posts)1. Must have been a frightening event such as chest pain, panic attack or severe headache. Normally, if it warranted going to Walter Reed, they would have taken the 'chopper. That tells me tRump didn't want the optics of an emergency trip and they gave him initial treatment in the WH doctor's facility and rushed him there in a motorcade.
2. It was hurriedly planned because they didn't even notify Walter Reed security in advance as they always do, so roads can be closed, etc. So no, it was not a routine physical exam visit. Further, if it was it would have been on the White House schedule.
3. What tests could they not have done in the White House Doctor's office? It surely must have been a scan of some sort such as MRI or CT and that would explain the brief visit.
I expect tRump to show his butt on TV soon, even if they have to prop him up with a pole.
All their lies are entirely for the big show........

The White House has called a "lid" for the day just after 9am which means no planned events or departures from the White House grounds for the president are expected.

No idea if this is something they normally do or not.

(33,516 posts)...severe mental decline, possibly owing to reduced oxygen flow to his brain.
It would not surprise me if the Republicans, their backs increasingly against the wall, suddenly declare a need to engage the 25th amendment to shield him and themselves from further investigation/prosecution.

(22,114 posts)this stupid lie before. Just look at him...you can see the Cholesterol and other bad stuff literally jumping off him/off a sinking ship. And what's really pathetic about this whole thing is that he won't ever listen to anyone anyways about his health, or anything else for that matter (six, SIX bankruptcies!).

(906 posts)But would add he needs to tell all and share the names of those involved
Ie: pissypence, moscowmitch, gottagogaetz, knowsallgymjordan, lillyliveredlyndsey,
Let it go takes the stress and worry off.
If nothing else America would feel better.

I deeply hate the whole family and his cult fellow reps in congress and senate. Wish they did not have such amazing health insurance and "any" out of pocket, is our freakin pocket. Yet still try want to destroy ours. Peace at you. He someday will croak, then the party starts.

(12,165 posts)point of it sounding more like gibberish than normal.
I think he has been having TIAs. This could also explain his weird bumbling behavior like when he wandered out of the room during a bill signing ceremony.
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)TIAs certainly make sense... I just thought he was feeling the effects of Adderall, or... perhaps it's from his UK-purchased Sudafed (which has a different formula than Sudafed in the US).

(12,165 posts)The photo of him with dilated pupils is really telling.
If he has high blood pressure, the Sudafed could be making that condition worse.
Vinca
(50,269 posts)of his mouth. Things like that and the slurring speech would indicate he's either doped up on psychotropic drugs or having TIAs.
yellowdogintexas
(22,252 posts)he may be on night time O2 which is why he stays up in the residence unless his presence is required. Also explains "executive time" The early stages of carotid artery blockage are sometimes treated this way as compensation for reduced O2 flow.
I'd bet money he sleeps with a CPAP machine on full board.
TIA, (aka stroklets) could affect speech, gait, memory and more and could possibly be related to carotid artery issues if they exist.
CHF definitely relates to bloating. I would also love to see his feet. I bet they are extremely puffy. His hands would be swollen as well.
An IV of Lasix would get that fluid out of there. I think that is another 4 hour process, but should also be doable in the WH medical unit.
One of these days we may find out, however the speculation is so much fun!

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)I say that for two reasons. First, it said Biden was not the person Kim made him out to be. Trump has historically not said anything nice about a rival. Second, it was well written, with smooth flowing sentences that actually had a thematic relationship with eachother.
