Trump's redneck base isn't turning out for Mike clear gummy bear Pence. They want reality tv not the most boring person on the planet. The only ones that would turn out for them would be evangelicals.

I still like "dried Elmer's glue in the shape of a man" as the best description of Pence, but yours is right up there. Clear and flavorless.

4. I'm not a medical professional but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. 😂😂😂

But with my vast knowledge on the subject (ahem, several grains of salt here), I cannot believe having repeated TIAs is a good thing.

Can our real medical pros weigh in on this??

Seeing a “black curtain” fall over one or both eyes. I don’t believe it either, I think he’s being hyperbolic and trying to control the narrative. As per usual

7. Seriously if he did have a stroke how hard would it be to hide?

Whats he going to do start drooling on himself, slurring his speech, shuffling around like an oaf, and saying batshit crazy shit that doesn't make any damn sense?

I submit that he could be in the midst of a stroke during a press briefing and we may not know the difference...

8. This is exactly what i am seeing in Trump's behavior.

This runs in my family and I have seen it many times.

Unfiltered thoughts, blurting out inappropriate comments, losing train of thought, rambling stories, paranoia.

It gets progressively worse.

Sucker. Seen first hand mini stroke persons in our family and each time this Sucker is on a Video,boy oh boy,sure appears to have the same symptoms as our rellies. The speech slurring is only one aspect. Watching him walk is the real give away.

Can affect mental processes as well as muscle control (most Parkinson’s patients have some form of dementia).

16. TIAs can also be the result of medication abuse or imbalance.
Tue Sep 1, 2020, 01:16 PM
Sep 2020

If he's in a cycle of using/abusing uppers and downers without regulation and constant testing, he could be having a series of seizures that present as TIAs because of the neurological imbalance that sort of cycle causes.
Speaking as someone who has a loved one on prescribed and maintained psychotropics that has seizures that seem like TIAs if not controlled by the appropriate medication.

passed out on a hot day at a 9/11 memorial.

IMPOTUS gets rushed to the hospital, his people say it was a routine checkup and media say, Oh, OK.
