Trump’s health under scrutiny again after unplanned visit to Walter Reed
President Trump’s impromptu weekend visit to a doctor brought fresh questions about the status of his health after the White House released a memo late Monday denying “speculation” that he had been treated for a medical emergency.
Trump, 73, made an unscheduled trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., on Saturday, a visit that remained shrouded in secrecy for two days as Trump stayed away from the public eye and the White House dodged questions about his health.
In a memo released by the White House late Monday, Trump’s doctor, Sean Conley, wrote that Trump’s “interim checkup” over the weekend had been “routine,” and was only kept secret because of “scheduling uncertainties.”
“Despite some speculation, the President has not had any chest pain, nor was he evaluated or treated for any urgent or acute issues,” Conley wrote in the memo. “Specifically, he did not undergo any specialized cardiac or neurologic evaluations.”
While Trump claimed that he had begun “phase one” of his annual physical, Conley said Trump would have a “more comprehensive examination” next year. Trump described his condition on Twitter as “very good (great!)”; Conley’s memo did not characterize the president’s overall health. It did include cholesterol figures that had dropped since Trump’s last physical exam in February.
It is unusual for a president to undergo a physical exam in multiple stages months apart, and the circumstances surrounding Trump’s visit renewed questions about the White House’s handling of his medical information, according to several experts.
In a statement Saturday, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said that Trump had undergone a “quick exam and labs” and that he “remains healthy and energetic without complaints.” Grisham also said Trump had taken advantage of a “free weekend” in Washington to “begin portions of his routine annual physical exam.”

Two people who interacted with Trump late last week said that he seemed to be hoarse and have signs of a cold but that nothing serious seemed amiss.
Trump’s voice was occasionally subdued and raspy during a news conference Wednesday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. But Trump also spoke for more than an hour Thursday at a political rally, the latest in a string of campaign events that the White House has pointed to as signs of his energy and vigor.
On Monday, he remained out of public view, holding his meetings behind closed doors. He met with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell inside the White House residence rather than the Oval Office, according to a White House official familiar with the matter who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.
...There are other reasons Trump’s visit to Walter Reed was out of the ordinary.
During Trump’s previous medical examinations, the White House has announced the visit in advance, and the president has taken the presidential helicopter, Marine One. On Saturday, Trump’s visit was not announced beforehand, and the president used a motorcade, which is equipped with an ambulance.
“That’s one of the unusual things about the whole situation,” Peña said. “Not just the mode of transportation but also, traditionally, the physicals are announced and put on their public schedule. That’s why it doesn’t quite fit the profile.”
While there are other plausible explanations for the decision to forgo Marine One, the White House has not adequately communicated the circumstances around Trump’s visit, said Jonathan Wackrow, a former Secret Service agent. “The way that this was messaged from the White House just was poor,” he said Monday on CNN.
It's hard to pray with understanding because Trump and his cabinet lies so much. I don't agree with his politics, but pray for him, just the same. CM

Over here there was an article which mentioned that the food tester of the president fell sick all of a sudden and in connection with it the president was brought to the medical center to see if perhaps he would suffer similar symptoms ... but apparently he was not.
I suppose the practice of using food testers is still in use among presidents of countries ... and is not just something we read about in Biblical records ...
-
Yeah the media tried to use the medical trip to cast doubt on the President's ability to fulfill his duties. I hate the 24/7 fake news cycle.

Pray that Mr. Trump begins to face reality and reflect its truth. CM

seems like too many frogs in the swamp around him ... one needs the right people around in order to get the right people brought to justice and held responsible for their crimes ... surround yourself with the wrong gang and they will drain you instead of you draining the swamp
Some onlookers fall for the fake frog news and think right is wrong and wrong is right ...😉

Is President Trump is on the border of madness? Is America safe? CM
-
What on earth are you talking about?
-
Where are you getting this idea? The only ones who might be mad are the Democrats and this lunacy of impeachment without a cause.
-
Trump's overall behavior and tweets. CM
-
And what about his overall behavior and tweets signal losing his mind?
-
Where do you live? Do you have access to any news or cable channels?
Don't take my words. See below:
"So I read it again. Doing so has helped me see Mr. Trump more clearly. It made it harder to watch the debate, though, as I saw good people -- and many of the House Republicans are indeed good people -- kowtow to this malignant, malevolent man.
Trump's letter to Pelosi has been described in clinical terms. It has been called "deranged" or just plain "sick." But while I appreciate the need to understand Trump, I do not believe that understanding will be found in psychology".
President-electDonald Trump on Wednesday suggested intelligence officials were behind the leak of an unverified dossier full of damaging allegations about him, invoking Nazi Germany.
“I think it was disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake” to get out, Trump said during a press conference on Wednesday.
“That’s something that Nazi Germany would have done and did do.”
The charge echoed an earlier complaint by Trump on Wednesday morning, when he tweeted: “Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to ‘leak’ into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?”

Letter to the Editor: Trump’s behavior cause for dismissal
If the president had a cogent counter argument to make against the indictment by Christianity Today, one hopes he’d make it. Instead, he flails.
Last month a leading evangelical Christian magazine, Christianity Today, founded by the late Rev. Billy Graham, called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office, essentially aligning itself with the Democrats who have found Trump’s behavior with regard to Ukraine to be beyond the pale.
This is notable because Trump’s core support includes a lot of evangelical Christians who have been willing to overlook his obvious lapses. (Paying off a porn star to cover up an affair? Surely evangelicals don’t like that.) They’ve done so because he is fulfilling his promise to load the federal judiciary with conservative judges and to focus on religious freedom issues.
Since you don't believed Trump WAS impeached, the news clips above is tantamount to "casting pearls before swine". CM

I actually applaud the letter he sent, it was spot on.

Reformed,
"Birds of a feather flock together".
"There are none so blind as those who will not see".*
- NOTE: The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know. The proverb has been traced back in English to 1546 (John Heywood), and resembles the Biblical verse quoted (above). In 1738, it was used by Jonathan Swift in his 'Polite Conversation,' and is first attested in the United States in the 1713 'Works of Thomas Chalkley'..." CM

So instead of providing evidence you engage in ad hominem....

"Ad hominem...." or not, What I have written, I have written. It's the Truth! CM

And I'm the one that is delusional? Good grief.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump ....targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!
The REAL terrorists at work ...
Apparently, it makes no difference whom the US voters elect ... the swamp is too big? The Donald is turning out to be the opposite of what he promised (not really different than the "dark angel of 'nobel' peace" who was in office before him), and nothing better than the blond "lady of war promises" who ran against him in the election.
Targeting civil and cultural sites is a war crime ... but then, since when have the war mongers given a thought for people, peace, culture, etc. ?
America AWAKE! And don't sleep walk in thinking the problem is "just Trump" ... 😪 😥

Pray that Trump will leave quietly and orderly. Reformed, you can't help him at this point. He overplayed his hand. Love him, but he has to go. CM
PS. America, take back your country! CM

I pray the Senate has sense to acquit.
