Trump doesn't look healthy enough to climb up and down the

stairs from AF1. They'd better cancel the trip so he can get a checkup. "For health reasons," of course. He was looking pretty bad today. So, he'll probably be advised not to undertake that kind of travel.

It's a real possibility. He definitely doesn't want to go right now, anyhow. A health concern is an excellent excuse.

It would make him look weak, and Donald is never weak, see...

Maybe they'll convert a forklift into an elevator for him at some point. Put a throne on it and up he goes.

most cabins are pressurized at 10,000 feet. That might not be enough oxygen for him.

this was the best overseas trip by any President in U.S. history! Tremendous response from the European people! And he enjoyed every minute of it!

not to. He could check into the hospital for one of those executive checkups, you know.

However, if he does go, they'll just shoot him up with some corticosteroids and boost his energy levels a bit. A little prednisone, perhaps. That'd put the zing in his zinger, for sure.

He knows there's too many people "gunning" for him.

He's scared to go.... He's scared to stay.

That said, I do not wish for him to have a heart attack overseas. He is obviously very stressed over this upcoming trip and for all of our sake I hope they find a reason to cancel.

an international trip. See, just out of "an abundance of caution," it might be better if the trip were, you know, "postponed."
