1. They seem rather intense and in a hurry for a scheduled exam - to me at least. n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Totally. IF it is like they say, getting some pre-tests out of the way during down time..

it would be a relaxed, convivial event.

[lunatica]

31. If they had been in that kind of hurry the driver of the second car would have sprinted to get into

it. I hate to admit it but it only looks a bit hurried. It looks windy. Trump could have been rushing to get his hair out of the wind.

And if Trump had been ill people would have been much closer to him in case he tripped or fainted.

To me this photo looks completely normal.

[RKP5637]

48. Yep, it could be normal. There are so many lies out of this WH you start to question

anything they say!

[lunatica]

49. It's a sign that we're learning from experience

when we question everything this White House does.

We would be foolish and gullible if we didn’t. If we are believing even a small amount of what we’re being fed we’re being gullible.

[RKP5637]

50. Yep!!! Quite true!!! n/t

[Eliot Rosewater]

51. NOTHING he says is true, ever. Did they all of a sudden say he was doing a routine thing that

was not announced or planned?

then it is a lie

[RKP5637]

52. Exactly! Even normal with him is a lie! I can't believe this crap we put up with. He's like a black

hole and sucks all the decency out of the office of the president.

[Eliot Rosewater]

53. Do you have grocery shopping to do today?

Depending on where you live, anywhere from 3-6 people out of TEN you see in line, pushing shopping carts, KNOW that he is a lying traitorous piece of human garbage and ADORE and WORSHIP him BECAUSE of that.

Be safe. We are all NOT safe. We are all surrounded by these racist assholes!

[RKP5637]

54. I don't even bother to make eye contact with people anymore when out. I just go straight about my

business and get the hell out. This is a 50/50 area, so I know at least half of the people I encounter are flaming assholes supporting tRump.

[Johnny2X2X]

2. Yeah, something is up

Routine physical and they’re rushing like that? And a routine physical with your doctor traveling with you to it seems weird too.

[PCIntern]

3. Moving with intensity

I know that feeling and look. I’ve had it in my office on rare occasion when a serious medical problem arises with a patient.

[TheBlackAdder]

27. It could be that the entrance wasn't properly secured, so it's best to spirit him in quickly.

[NightWatcher]

4. trump looks weird in that vid. Very bloated or like he had his clothes pulled open

Almost like he had been bare chested and had to quickly get dressed enough to go outside.

[Docreed2003]

5. Very bloated and his face looked cherry red

[StarryNite]

9. And how is that different from normal for him?

Oh, yeah, normally he's orange, not red.

[Docreed2003]

17. Lmao that's right

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. And his hair - which he meticulously manages, looks like Clara Bell's .

[LonePirate]

6. Was that video from Saturday or today?

[Ms. Toad]

12. My question, as well.

The tweet is from today, but I haven't heard of a second trip.

[babylonsister]

15. The text in tweet says Saturday. nt

[42bambi]

7. Looks like a paper is clipped to his pocket.

[Owl]

13. I think he's carrying a folder.

[womanofthehills]

20. Some other DU threads have closeups and they think it might be a medical machine

[nancy1942]

32. Feed bag!!

Hilarious! I really needed the laugh about now.

[Maru Kitteh]

34. I'm a nurse. It's not a holter. It's not an IV pump (that's one of the REALLY silly theories thrown

about.) I don't think it's any kind of medical device at all unless you want to call a clipboard a "device."

It doesn't change the fact that the official line from the ministry of propaganda on this unplanned quick trip to Walter Reed is pretty blatantly pure crap.

[dawg day]

37. It's just that the guy who doesn't read--

Who doesn't care about governing... why would he have a folder? To cover something up?

[Maru Kitteh]

43. Why does it have to be reading material?

We’ve seen a drawer full of Sudafed. It looks to me like a clipboard holding a manila envelope full, stuffed with something. A suspected overdose of something would necessitate a quick trip to the hospital with those drugs in hand. There is your unscheduled, hurried visit. Would this very paranoid man be willing to allow someone else to carry his drugs? Did he perhaps think someone had poisoned him?

He looks like a man having some manner of meltdown that’s for sure. I don’t think he’s reading.

[onenote]

26. Looks like he's carrying a folder when watched second by second.

[hatrack]

18. DNR?

God, I hope so . . .

[Hortensis]

8. He's been very upset for a while, reportedly screaming and raging,

so it'd hardly be surprising if the stress was affecting him physically.

[StarryNite]

10. We've heard that about him for a long time though.

[lettucebe]

11. He looks enormous! Though I think that's his normal profile

Still HUGE.

[hibbing]

14. If he wasn't flying somewhere to golf you know something is up n/t

[bdamomma]

16. definitely

something is up. He looks angry. no tie either.

[StarfishSaver]

19. The president's doctor always rides in the motorcade. But not in his limo

I have no doubt this was a medical emergency.

[DeminPennswoods]

45. A former secret service officer said the same thing

on MSNBC the other evening when he was asked about it.

[StarfishSaver]

47. That was really strange - and what made me suspicious

If it was routine, the doc could have just ridden in one of the cars in the motorcade. There was a reason the doc was in the car with him. And I don't think it was because he wanted company on the way to a "routine" physical exam.

Interesting factoid ...

The president's doctor ALWAYS stays in immediate proximity to the president in case of emergency, but this wasn't always the case. When President Kennedy was shot, his doctor was in the motorcade, but far back - I think he was on the press bus. When the shooting happened and the "secure package" of the motorcade peeled off and raced to the hospital, the rest of the cars containing staff, press, VIPs, AND his doctor, Admiral Burkley, were cut off and stuck in snarled traffic. Dr. Burkley managed eventually to get to Parkland before the president died and, by all accounts, was as helpful as he could be to the trauma doctors. But it took him a while to get there.

In that instance, Dr. Burkley's absence didn't make a difference - President Kennedy was mortally wounded and there was nothing anyone could have done to save him, even if he had received immediate medical attention. But officials realized there could be times in which the president's doctor's presence would make a difference and he needed to be able to get to him quickly. So now the protocol is for the doctor to always be in the presidential "bubble," close enough to the president to get to him within a few moments. The doc rides in the front part of the motorcade, close to the limousine, they ride on Marine One or the backup, and they even ride on the same elevator with him when out of the White House.

But the doctor usually does NOT ride in the same car with the president, so seeing Cmdr. Conley hop into the SUV with him raised a red flag for me.

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Lotta hustle by his keepers

[gratuitous]

22. Nothing to see here

Trump often goes out without a tie on and without a second glance at any camera in the vicinity.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. thank you SO much for posting this kpete. We've been talking about it and

few have seen the clip of the actual event.

[comradebillyboy]

30. So they rushed him to Walter Reed to remove Pence's nose from his ass....

[Blue Owl]

35. Red Don's looking mighty red

n/t

[dawg day]

36. Even sluggish Trump is really booking it

But he's walking. So it's not something debilitating... but something that requires a hospital trip--




Mini stroke? MRI?

[2naSalit]

38. When's the last time he played golf?

I think he's raging himself into a heart attack, what with his drug abuse and temper tantrums, has to catch up to him eventually.

[octoberlib]

42. This wasn't just a panic attack. The WH medical

team is well equipped to handle those. They have the ability to give EKGs etc. Something serious happened here that the WH doctor thought needed to be investigated further.

[luvs2sing]

44. Hypertensive emergency, perhaps? n/t

[DeminPennswoods]

46. What's interesting to me is Trump

is not wearing a tie. When Trump's on the golf course, he's wearing golf clothes. Sometimes at rallies he's dressed casually. But I've never seen a picture of Trump wearing a suit and dress shirt without a tie.

[Runningdawg]

55. It's always fun in these situations to see what the far right wingers have to say

Accroding to the scuttle butt - the unidentified piece of medical equipment was a dosimeter and he was exposed to a possibly radioactive device sent to him by the deep state and/or liberals.

Trump has killed satire but some of these conspiracy theories the R comes up with are nearly as good.

[woodsprite]

56. My 26yo healthy daughter just had a reaction to pseudophedrine after taking it for years

in Mucinex-D. Maybe he had something similar, especially since he's known to pop them like candy. She had issues with muscle contractions in her limbs, elevated BP (150/96) and a resting heart rate topping out at 156. The "cold" she was taking it for turned out to be RSV (not flu, but pretty contagious). They pushed fluids and she stopped taking Mucinex, and her BP and heart rate were back to normal within a day or so.

Now, we're waiting to see what the ER visit, blood work, and IV drip cost. She just rolled off our insurance and didn't pick one of her own yet.
