Well, now, ran across this interesting little article about Trump. It seems that he went to Walter Reed Hospital for a “just routine” visit, when he had just had one about 6 months ago. Do you like the parody picture? That’s led to a number of questions, and not just from doctors. How did this slip under the radar, anyhow? From Raw Story:
Medical experts have questions about Donald Trump’s recent hospital visit, which the White House has claimed was routine. The White House raised some analysts’ eyebrows when it announced Trump would be going to Walter Reed for an “annual” visit, despite the fact that Trump had an annual visit in April. The White House declared Trump to be in excellent health, but didn’t release all the details. Now, medical professionals are raising a red flag about the information provided after the visit.
We know he’s not in “excellent” shape, despite all he claims. Sharp-eyed folks have caught different things which lead us to think he’s *not* in “excellent” shape. We also know he loves McDonald’s, and he loves to serve that to guests. Let’s hope he didn’t serve this to visiting dignitaries! That would be a low blow. And horribly, horribly tacky. Ugh. There’s no way he’s in excellent shape, no matter what he or the White House press corps says. Let’s hear more from the article, shall we?
The Washington Post quoted a medical doctor for Dick Cheney. “Jonathan Reiner, a longtime cardiologist for former vice president Dick Cheney, said the White House should be more forthcoming about the results of the latest visit as some of the tests did not appear to be routine — and as he and other medical experts argue that the job of determining a president’s fitness is too important to entrust to a handpicked physician,” according to the report. Reiner is further quoted as asking, “Are they following up on concerns from when it was noted during the summer that his legs were very swollen, or are they following up on new symptoms?
How about the hand that Trump had ineptly tried to hide under the WRONG color makeup? That really stuck out, even more so than the legs. Why didn’t they speak to someone who has better knowledge of this? Any technical theatre person knows how to do that. What was he thinking? He hasn’t been that color for literally years.
But this is a good point. Most things his doctor can do at the White House, but you can’t move an MRI. You can’t move a CAT scan. So what in the hell IS going on? Trump likely won’t admit his health is failing or that he already has problems. We could bet that he won’t give up fast food, and he won’t exercise. How many times have doctors told him that already? He won’t do what he is told, so he can pretend he’s just fine, thank you. He’s not, and people have noticed!
Conservative George Conway also weighed in on Trump’s hospital visit on Sunday, saying on MSNBC early in the morning that he has questions about it. “Why aren’t we talking about that?” Conway asked this weekend. “Why did he make that trip up there? What’s going on with that?”
So you see, it’s not just physicians who have noticed. People outside the medical profession have, too. It’s a pity you can’t hack an MRI or CAT scan, or a CT scan. All of us intelligent folks want to know what’s going on, and people who are getting their intelligence back and leaving MAGA would want to know. But the unintelligent in MAGA want to believe that their god is in perfect health, no matter what they see. This is news *outside* of folks like us and Raw Story. But they choose to be willfully blind. That’s sad. It’s just … sad.
Friends, I know everyone asks you for money. I promise you, of all the outlets asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula

I *really* don’t like Dylan’s voice but I’ll agree he had some damn good lyrics.
It ain’t about the melodious voice…it’s his messages. Messages given to us in the early sixties that remain true a half century later.
