''He just admitted it': Trump mocked for giving life to rumors of him having a stroke

.

Folks were just asking about the possibility of him having one stroke.

He replies, denying that he had a series of mini-strokes. Not one mini-stroke, but a series of them.

People suggested that Trump had a stroke in November and he himself just tweeted about his visit to Walter Reed and "a series of mini-strokes." People were speculating about one stroke, and now it looks like he just confessed to a series of them. #TrumpStroke

May 28: Uncontrolled spasm in his right arm.
Jun 13: Couldn't raise a glass with his right hand.
Jul 28: Dragging his right leg while walking.
Aug 28: Lurches to the right on stairs.

Neurological events (stroke/TIA) often affect motor control on one side.

https://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2015/10/in-the-enquirer-primary-clintons-campaign-is-dead-literally-214693

“The desperate and deteriorating 67-year-old won’t make it to the White House — because she’ll be dead in six months.”

That’s what anonymous sources told The National Enquirer in one of its latest “bombshell” cover stories about Hillary Clinton. The 2016 hopeful “is engaging in a massive cover-up about her health,” which has suffered from blood clots, brain cancer symptoms, secret strokes, endometriosis, depression, alcoholism, paranoia and multiple sclerosis, among other ailments, according to the Enquirer. (What doesn’t this woman have?)

An Enquirer source broke it down like this: “Hillary shouldn’t be on the campaign trail — she should be home making out her will!”

Note the secret strokes although apparently Hillary had every fucking thing imaginable wrong with her among other ailments

Forests of trees were felled to print all the breathless speculation about Hillary Clinton's health when she was a candidate. The media ran the video of her feeling faint at a 9/11 ceremony on an endless loop. According to the media, Hillary was at death's door.

Now we have a sitting president, up for re-election, with some obvious serious health issues. Anybody going to report on this? Bueller?

Biden could probably trigger a live on the air stroke by repeatedly antagonizing him.

19. Yes - Even Trump's Natal Astrology Chart Indicates a Vulnerability to Strokes
Tue Sep 1, 2020, 01:18 PM
Sep 2020

1) Ascendant in Leo - Leo rules the heart and circulatory system.
2) Sun conjunct Uranus - Sun rules Leo, Uranus rules the opposing sign of Aquarius. Leo / Aquarius is the Circulatory Axis, with Leo governing the heart and central circulatory system, and Aquarius the peripheral circulatory system - including cranial circulation. The circulatory midpoint is self- reactive due to the tight conjunction of Sun and Uranus, conjuncting both planets.
3) Trump was born right at the Full Moon, with a very exact opposition between his Gemini Sun in the Eleventh House and his Sagittarius Moon in the Fifth House. The Fifth House corresponds to the fifth sign, Leo, and the Eleventh House corresponds to the eleventh sign, Aquarius. Oppositions in the chart show homeostatic balance being challenged. Since the house placements of the planets are more pertinent to describing health conditions and pathology in later life due to the cumulative impact of the exogenous pathogenic factors and stresses that the houses represent over the course of a lifetime, this Fifth / Eleventh House opposition between Trump's Sun and Moon, corresponding to the Leo Aquarius Circulatory Axis, again reinforces the potential for circulatory pathology.
4) The Sun / Uranus conjunction in the Eleventh House, corresponding to Aquarius, the eleventh sign, which rules the peripheral vascular system, and its self reactive circulatory midpoint, seems to be the most specific configuration in his chart, in context of the other configurations I have discussed above, indicating pathological vulnerability to strokes. In terms of Trump's psychology and personality, this Sun / Uranus conjunction tends to make him reckless, erratic and prone to mood swings as well. This instability is further reinforced by his being born at the Full Moon - literally just minutes before the exact Full Moon.

Strokes can be devastating. For the victim. The family. And -- in this case -- the country.

So, for the benefit of fellow DUers and their loved ones, remember "BE FAST":
Balance (a sudden loss of balance or coordination)
Eyes (persistent blurred vision, other problems)
Face (when asked to smile, does one side of her/his face droop)
Arms (when asked to raise both arms, does one drift downward)
Speech (slurred or strange-sounding when asked to repeat a simple phrase)
Time (if any signs appear, call 911 immediately)

Trump has the right personality for strokes and this election may be the end of him, but his own fault. We just don't want a martyr. Then, we'd never hear the end of The Trump Era. We'll never be truly rid of him.

From the sound of things in the WH, he explodes on schedule, so they surely have him medicated enough to stop the TIAs. Let's get this election over, Biden in office and then "it is what it is."
