For the most powerful infusions to slow Trump's Alzheimer's the protocol is that you must have a brain CT scan before the first infusion and then before the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 14th. This is required because these drugs can result in swelling or bleeding in the brain. And that is especially of concern if Trump has been self=prescribing high dose aspirin. That, alone, can raise the odds of internal bleeding anywhere, including the brain.

Trump should simply release the scans, or at least give them to an independent panel of experts to interpret for the American people. But he cannot do that, because if they were brain scans, this would practically be a confirmation that Trump is receiving infusions to try to slow his Alzheimer's Disease.
