Trump tweeted again tonight to deny that he's had mini-strokes. Protesting too much...

Posted a little over half an hour ago:






Mike Pence was never put on standby, & there were no mini-strokes. This is just more Fake News by @CNN, a phony story. The reason for the visit to Walter Reed, together with the full press pool, was to complete my yearly physical. Short visit, then returned (with press) to W.H...

Another tweet from Trump about the series of mini-strokes he had.

His response here mirrors what he did when he hid in the bunker and then denied it and then forced others at the WH to say it never happened.

I have to say, I think mini-strokes explains a lot of his behavior.

I had to draw a clock and show the hands, 10 minutes to ten. I also was given three words and had to repeat them later. I was 66. Funny thing is the nurse asked me repeat and I did...ten minutes later she forgot she asked me and I had to repeat them again.

That the visit was to get a head start on his physical? Not to finish it.

If you're gonna lie, at least get your story straight.

Yeah, I know.

How come nobody ever told me that you had to go to your physical holding a bunch of newspapers?

It's a crooked little man who tells crooked little lies. No straight story. Sorry.

All I had heard until his first Tweet about the malady was that the illness was undisclosed.

Hey Donald - the book never mentioned 'mini-strokes'. You're the one that first mentioned it. Oops!!!!!
Are you trying to tell us something here?

He’s right to be afraid. Donald Trump was very cruel to his own father when his faculties were failing due to dementia, and DT has raised his own viper’s brood to be just like him.
