A way to gauge Trump's "health": Has he been golfing lately?

[CatWoman]

Has he even been seen outside (other than being driven to Walter Reed)?

1. Let's also see if his doctor told him to lay off Twitter for the time being

or anything else that gets his blood pressure and heart rate accelerating.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. Just to Nuremberg rallies. No golf in at least a month...

[dewsgirl]

7. Wow really?

[Dennis Donovan]

10. 3 weeks per trumpgolfcount.com

9. Trump does have a golf simulator in the White House

Wish I had the room and money for one of those babies!

https://trugolf.com/simulators/build-it/

$43,950.00 plus shipping and installation.

ETA: Of course, it's much more difficult to cheat on a simulator.

3. I credit Nancy

First, she calls him a dumbass by telling him what exculpatory means. Then she calls him an imposter and tells him to resign.

"I won't resign. I won't, I won't, I won't. You can't make me. You're not my mommy."

Next thing we know, he's on his way to Walter's.

[malaise]

5. This is way more accurate than you may think

[CatWoman]

6. i firmly believe her calling him an imposter was the ultimate trigger

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

31. +1000

She's not the only one. Jimmy Carter said outright that Trump is an illegitimate president, put into office by the Russians.

4. Russians always cover up and lie about their leaders' illnesses and death.

[CatWoman]

8. i commented on that yesterday

[3catwoman3]

13. None of the USSR leaders was ever reported...

...to have anything other than “a cold.”

[CatWoman]

19. i remember them propping up a dead body (I think it was Andropov)

to watch a military parade

[smirkymonkey]

15. Interesting.

We should keep our eyes and ears open for sightings. Someone can always fake his tweets.

[dhol82]

11. That's a really good thought.

Golf has been almost as important to him as Ivanka.
There must be something wrong.
Please, let it be terminal.

[Eyeball_Kid]

12. IMO, it's an accumulation of stressors that gets translated into general fatigue,

but there are likely symptoms of cardiac weaknesses that contribute to general fatigue. Trumpy may be experiencing pre-cursor symptoms of a heart attack. But, hey, I'm not a doctor and I'll never get within hundreds of miles of the nutbag.

14. DU mind-meld at work!! :) I made the same point in a thread yesterday!

A few replied to comment on crappy weather, but we all know damn well that for the past 3 winters, AF One had been shipping his bloated ass down to Mar-A-Gordo nearly every weekend once the weather took a turn for the worse in the D.C. area.

16. He hasn't traveled to Florida in November except at Thanksgiving

The absence of golf outings from the end of October until Thanksgiving is the norm.


I think the "golf-based" diagnosis is a stretch.

[onenote]

17. What difference does it make if he's been seen "outside'?

This is a bit of a stretch. He did his (losing) rally in Louisiana on Thursday. Flew back to DC and delivered remarks in public on Friday. Went to Walter Reed on Saturday.

As for golf, as in past years, he played up locally up until late October and then didn't play again until he went to Florida for Thanksgiving.

I think there is something up with his health, but his golfing schedule offers no support for that.

[CatWoman]

20. let's just say you have you opinions

and I have mine.

[onenote]

21. Actually I have facts.

He was seen in public prior to his emergency trip to Walter Reed.

The period of time since his last golf trip (in late October) is directly comparable to his golfing schedule in 2017 and 2018.

I don't believe for a minute that his trip to Walter Reed was part of his annual physical. But I suspect it was triggered by an acute crisis rather than some longstanding medical issue that has disabled him from appearing in public or playing golf in the days/weeks preceding the crisis.

[CatWoman]

22. As you wish

the bottom line is the man has no problem spending our money to take extended golf outings, and I find it odd that he hasn't been on one in a while.

I never looked up the record/schedule, as like I said, he has no problem spending our money to take extended golf outings.

With all the lies that come out of this White House, even minute details are suspect --I suppose one can call that a fact, too.

On edit -- According to the TrumpGolfCount link above, his November 2018 schedule included plenty of gold.

[onenote]

24. Thank you for proving my point.

The TrumpGolfCount link shows that in 2018, he last played golf locally in mid-October and didn't play again for five weeks until he went to Florida for Thanksgiving.

[CatWoman]

25. if you say so

[onenote]

26. You're the one who relied the TrumpGulfCount link. Now you're discounting it?

Really?

[CatWoman]

27. I'm not "discounting" anything

yes, really

[LanternWaste]

29. Your war on benign speculation using benign speculation is ironic.

We all have the hills we wish to charge. Good luck with yours.

[onenote]

30. All I was doing is pointing out facts

Some folks were questioning when he'd last been seen in public prior to Saturday. Well, Thursday and Friday would be the answer.

Some folks were suggesting his golf schedule was an indication of a health issue. Well, his schedule this year is, so far, no different than it was at this time of year in 2017 and 2018.

Not speculation. Informed judgment.

[Peregrine Took]

18. Has he been seen since Saturday? n/t

[Johnny2X2X]

23. No

And the press has been told he won't be seen today.

My guess is he had a mild heart issue and will rest for a few days. If his White Supremacy rally in 8 days gets delayed or canceled, then we will know it was a more serious issue.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. "Weekend at Bernie's."

He's actually dead but they've been propping him up and moving him around.
