Trump Six Month “Annual” Physical Included An MRI (?)

Remember Trumpty’s recent visit to Walter Reed for an “annual physical” after having had one only six months prior? Attempts to spin it as an annual physical were brushed aside in an all too rare case of pushback from the WH Press Corps. Too many stories, with pictures showing bad, bigly bruising on the back of his swollen hand, severed ‘cankles’ (swollen ankles), clear signs of a leg catheter bag showing under his pants, frequent leg dragging, droopy side of the face and so on were already out there.  Now we learn a ‘regular check-up’ just so happened to include what was called ‘advance imaging.’ In plain terms an MRI.

When I was young I didn’t always get an annual checkup but I was pretty good about it. CAT Scans became a thing during my adulthood and then the more advanced MRI came along. I’ve had more than one, because my doctor(s) were looking for specific things, either to rule out certain diagnoses or to confirm what they thought might be going on and need treating. However while in the past few decades I’ve always had an annual physical not once has it included an MRI. I’d also like to point out that while yes, Presidents get (or should) an especially thorough workup during annual physicals I’m having a hard time remembering mention of an MRI or the results in the briefing presented to journalists afterwards.

However as an article from The Mirror US tells us an MRI, or as the WH initially described it ‘advanced imaging’ was part of Trumpty’s annual-six-month checkup it was no big deal. Really? REALLY? (thinking of Kyle in SouthPark in the Oval Office with Bush and Cheney) According to WH/Presidential Physician Capt. Sean Barbabella Trumpty underwent “advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventative health assessments conducted by a multidisciplinary team of specialists.” Ok. You know what? From where I sit a President, be it Trump, Biden (as it should be) or Reagan back in the day well into their 70s should probably had a through physical every six months.

What sticks out to ME is the part where this particular one include an MRI. That’s simply something not normally done during a routine annual (or semi-annual) physical UNLESS there’s a specific concern the doctor(s) wants a closer look at. Clearly Trumpty has phyiscal issues and has for a while now. It’s only because a-hole Democrats and journalists drove Biden from office and they don’t have him to kick around anymore Trump’s health (and mental acuity, or rather lack thereof) are getting at least some of the scrutiny Biden’s did.

It’s appalling but shouldn’t surprise you that all during the campaign (and before) Trumpy was exhibiting FAR more physical decline and mental flubs than Biden. Frankly, if Biden was seen to be dragging a leg periodically (instead of after breaking his foot in a bicycling accident no longer bounding about but walking carefully), or any of the other things I mentioned above it would be NON STOP coverage! Journalists would be incessantly SCREAMING. Even openly speculating on how many weeks (days?) it would be before we were watching his State Funeral.

I’m sure every journalist and news outlet would  hotly deny that but tell me I’m wrong. So a ‘concern’ gets raised. There is perhaps an article or two from print outlets, and a couple of minutes of discussion amongst pundits on some news show and that’s that. Everyone moves on as if it’s no big deal.  Now and then some journalist has enough gumption to ask Trumpty directly and he spouts off some bullshit and there’s virtually no pushback. And journalists wear out their arms patting themselves on the back for having “challenged’ Trumpty!  The truth is rather different. He denies anything is out of the ordinary, usually with typical Trumpian word salad:

While on board Air Force One before arriving in Japan on Monday, the president told reporters that he had an MRI. “I got an MRI. It was perfect…I gave you the full results. We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect,” the president said, according to CNN’s Kaitlin Collins. It comes after ‘terrified’ Trump feared there was ‘plot to deliberately infect him’.

See? SEE? it was all perfect. Trumpty himself said so and there’s never been a more honest and trustworthy person who has ever, ever EVER lived. Sure Donnie Boy. You’re so perfect you don’t even have bowel movements into your fake gold toilet. You emit Unicorn Sparkle Farts. (from you mushroom headed little ‘pee-pee’ too, WHAT catheter bag.  None needed)

Team Trump and the human shaped orange sack of sh*t we call Donald Trump himself can say it’s no big deal, and news outlets can report it and then try to bury it (let’s see if ANYONE mentions it even in passing tomorrow) but it’s not. Doctors had specific concerns and yes, enough that they ordered ‘advanced imaging’ as in an MRI  to get some answers to some very troubling (for anyone but especially a sitting President) questions. Given all we know of it was probably a full body scan.  I can only imagine Trumpty’s rage at being on that table for so long. Hell, because you have to lay still he probably went into withdrawal over not being able to sate his addiction to his phone.

We’ll never know of course all of the things doctors wanted to look at, much less what they found. However, since then Trump has actually acknowledged his mortality. THAT is a BFD because he’s always talked and acted (and gotten others to back him including former Dr. and WH physician Ronny Jackson) that his health was soooooooo perfect he could live for centuries!  I know most of the time he’s (still) in denial that Mother Nature will dispatch the Grim Reaper on his fat ass in not that many years. (Months?) But sometimes the awful (for him) truth does take over what’s left of his mind these days.

Dollars to donuts the doctors found some things. And told Trump even making drastic changes in his life will make what years he has left more and more comfortable he’s about done with his time on this earth. Of course, other than geeing out and cheating at golf every day there’s not much Trump can enjoy anymore. He sure as hell wouldn’t enjoy eating a more health conscious diet, or getting at least minimal regular exercise. Worse, and while this is Brain Bleach to think about stuff it’s  possible he can’t even have sex anymore. Boner pills might actually kill him! For me laughing about that is worth needing to flush my head with Brain Bleach.

In the end though we know Trumpty is falling apart in just about every way possible. Something WAS up that prompted that out of the blue trip to Walter Reed for what they tried to pass off as an annual physical. (Again ‘annual’ being just six months after having had one!) The REAL reason was the WH Physician wanted Trumpty’s fat ass in that MRI “stat” – medical slang for right effing now. The crap about annual/semi annual physical was just a cover. The fact Team Trump tried to keep the MRI part secret for so long is, for me proof something was raising a real concern.

I suppose it’s too much to hope Trumpty develops a paranoid delusion that RFK still has brainworms and that one slipped out of his HHS Secretary and into HIM. And he fires RFK. (Yes, I have weird thoughts and dreams of my own!) Well, I could go on about this but for once I’d like to stick to my self-promise to keep it short, if not sweet.  I’ll close by saying I know I shouldn’t wish for him or anyone to actually up and drop dead. But I will say if in the days, weeks or months (not years, months) ahead Trump succumbs to having lived the life he’s lived that’s include so many bad habits I won’t be the least bit surprised. Or upset. I’d simply wonder whether things would be better or worse with Vance.
