President Donald Trump made an unscheduled visit to a hospital near Washington this weekend, and the White House’s bizarre explanation has spurred questions over the true nature of the visit.
ETA: As @billyjoe points out below, his death in office might result in a positive public memory of him. I hearby renounce my sadness that he didn’t die in the hospital.
I seem to recall that at the height of the impeachment hearings in l973, President Nixon spent some time in the Bethesda Naval Hospital with what was described as pneumonia…maybe an attempt by both Prexies to demonstrate how much stress these horrible witch hunt investigators have put upon a hard-working chief executive?!
Trump departed the hospital approximately two hours later after “a quick exam and labs,”
For the POTUS a quick 2 HOUR exam and labs? Riggghttt. For a normal person maybe, but does anyone here thing he’d be cooling his heels in a waiting room like us mortals?
he merely wanted a “head start” on his annual exam
I took my 2019, 2020, and 2021 annual physicals all at once, just to make sure I’d stay healthy out into 2022.
lol. The purpose of an annual physical is to make sure you are still healthy. Its purpose as a monitoring evaluation is invalidated by the concept of getting a “head start”.
Multiple reports from people saying that People at Walter Reed told them Trump came in with major chest pain. This explains why the White House Dr. (one is on site at all times) made him go in to get tests.
This said, unclear how a guy without a heart can have heart attack symptoms.
