Do the people have a right to know if their president has a serious medical condition?

When did Trump last test negative for the coronavirus?

How serious was his condition when he was helicoptered to Walter Reed Hospital?

Did he have pneumonia?

What was the condition of his lungs?

Was it a mild or severe case of corona?

As of today, nobody knows except his doctors.

And they aren't talking.

This should not be acceptable to anyone.

about FDR's condition when he went to Yalta in Feb 1945. He had trouble breathing, blood pressure was astronomical and he should have been in a hospital, not at what Churchill called "the Rivera of Hades". In two months he was gone.

Just like when people were given practically no information when Chernobyl melted down.

It's ridiculous to think we don't. Who wants to vote for "dead man walking?" Frankly, you'd be voting for Pence at this point and holy crap, he's worse. No one wanted to impeach tRump for a very big reason: Pence.
