Pence added that the public “can be confident that this President is in remarkable good health.”

Well, isn’t that why we’re all remarking about it?

Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday backed President Trump’s ongoing denial that he suffered a stroke late last year — a suggestion that the President vehemently denies yet continues to rehash.

I understand that one of the sure signs of having suffered a stroke is continuing to rehash old matters.

Remarkably bad health. And temper…

Even the President’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, hit back at the suggestion that Trump suffered from a stroke late last year by issuing his own statement.

What makes you so sure that it was “his own” statement? I think that this calls for a journalistic “allegedly.”

You do know that the more these wingnuts that work for tRump are marched out to stipulate what great health he’s in, the more it works against him, don’t ya? I mean, it tends to have the opposite effect. Rather than validate what great health he’s in, it makes one wonder why you have to go out of your way to make these declarations in the first damn place if he’s the epitome of good health. We ain’t blind Q-tip.

I say, I say, there’s something wrong with that boy.

Being put on “standby” is a routine maintenance practice with androids. Here’s a recent example:

Usually the “when did you stop beating your wife?” leading question at least, like, needs to be asked by your opponent. Trump just… did this. Clocked himself right in the nose. Now everyone is talking about Donald Trump’s strokes, which are very scary and incapacitating. Sick! Not well! Bad brain!

He’s just reminiscing about the time he very briefly saw Mother Pence’s uncovered ankle without her knowing it.

When pressed on whether it’s true that the VP was put on “standby” late last year during an interview on Fox News on Tuesday evening, Pence insisted that Trump is “in excellent health.”

In fact, he repeated it: “He’s in excellent health, in excellent health, in excellent health, brrr blip frizzle BANG!”

The denials are coming faster than Jerry Falwell watching from a corner.

Come to think of it, you’re right!

Still waiting for an explanation of how they know he didn’t have a cardiovascular event if, as the doctor claims, they didn’t evaluate him for one.

“But there was nothing out of the ordinary about that moment or that day.”

Holy shit! Does he mean that this happens every day?
