WH releases statement regarding Chump's health:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-health-under-scrutiny-again-after-unplanned-visit-to-walter-reed/2019/11/18/f83c91a4-0a26-11ea-97ac-a7ccc8dd1ebc_story.html

In a memo released by the White House late Monday, Trump’s doctor, Sean Conley, wrote that Trump’s “interim checkup” over the weekend had been “routine,” and was only kept secret because of “scheduling uncertainties.”

“Despite some speculation, the President has not had any chest pain, nor was he evaluated or treated for any urgent or acute issues,” Conley wrote in the memo. “Specifically, he did not undergo any specialized cardiac or neurologic evaluations.”

"Specialized evaluations?"

See how very careful it all is. This doctor apparently doesn't want to just lie outright like the other ones. He just wants to obfuscate and use tricky modifiers-- "Nothing to see here."

They threw everything at him and still can't figure out what the fuck is his particular bundle of problems.

If these doctors aren't lying.... then they are negligent. The COPD oozes off Trump and it would be a miracle if he didn't have diabetes too.

And his previous doctors have been less than credible. The thing that I'm wondering about is why Trump himself hasn't made a public appearance. He loves being on TV more than anything else, and if there's nothing wrong with him, why haven't we seen him? Why hasn't he taken the spotlight and bragged about what great shape he's in?

I've read posts in other DU forums that have even mentioned that Chump is conducting WH meetings in his residence, rather than the Oval, which is highly unusual.

Can't believe a damn thing this WH tries to force feed us.

...that, in his opinion trump needs a neurological assessment because he noticed some peculiar things that trump was exhibiting. He also explained the layout of medical office and what's available in WH to deal with emergencies. [Ps. will edit to post link of interview]

Imo ...this has been a distraction tactic. What's he going to do during impeachment hearing tomorrow--stage a heart attack?

I mean, the way he manfully staggered to the car without a tie, and ducked inside without a glance at the cameras, and the way his doctor piled in on the other side of the car. All totally norbal.
