I’ve had them, and the symptoms mirror a heart attack. Chest tightness, shortness of breath, overwhelming feeling that something is wrong but you don’t know what, struggling to think clearly. They probably took him there to make sure there wasn’t anything worse than a panic attack going on.

I would not wish them upon anyone. Except for Donald Trump. I want him to know what it feels like to suffer and feel vulnerable. I want him to feel his mortality. Unfortunately, I don't think this will change him at all for the better, but if it has at least scared him I am glad. I hope the next time it is the real thing.

get caught out, doesn’t seem far fetched that he might have a ticker problem and have had symptoms that suggested something serious as at least a possibility.

I think he has a history of substance abuse. He was high as a kite at a recent well televised rally.
Whether speed, alcohol (I don’t take his word for it that he teetotals), whatever, he’s on something at least on a binge basis, and he looks unfit, unwell. Bloated, obese, unhealthy looking eyes, far from hale and hearty.

Maybe he did push for hospital to garner sympathy, but also likely he had some kind of an incident.

impeachment and his dropping favorables have dented his ego immeasurably! Why I think he's making future plans to live among his hard core people. He needs 100% adoration and they will give it to him in spades. Build a church ! whatever.

I do not want him to croak it until we kick his sorry ass out of office and he knows history will remeber him as a failure!

Then, I hope it croaks it slow and painful.

Did he fall after doing them and had a stroke? Is he really suffering from congestive heart problems? Was this triggered by him receiving a lot more bad news about to expose him, then shot his blood pressure thru the roof? I don't believe anything they put out, and its usually the opposite of the truth. He doesn't look well at all.

to resign while claiming he really wanted to stay but simply couldn't. The one thing this guy is really good at is grifting. And nothing is too low or despicable.
