Trump to Get Second 'Yearly' Health Screening in Months

When President Donald Trump visits the military hospital Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday for a planned meeting and remarks with troops, he will also stop by for his routine yearly check up, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said yesterday. But for Trump, this yearly check up will come just six months after his last known medical screening in April, fueling already growing skepticism about the state of his health.
Trump and the White House have tried to dispel rumors about Trumps decline, but questions about his fitness and ability to lead the country have loomed, fueled in part by the appearance of bruises on his hands, swollen ankles, and apparent mental lapses. A September YouGov survey found that nearly two-thirds of Americans say that Trump's health and age are affecting his ability to govern, while some 49% say he is experiencing a cognitive and physical decline.
The concerns come after the now-79-year-old campaigned last year against rival President Joe Biden, highlighting concerns surrounding Bidens age and fitness. Trump set the record at age 78 years and seven months at his second inauguration in January for the oldest person to assume the Oval Office, beating Bidens age at inauguration in 2021 by five months.
Second annual physical this year
While the White House described the visit as a routine yearly assessment, Trump had already gone through a checkup on April 11. Before that physical, Trump posted on Truth Social that he was to undergo a long scheduled Annual Physical Examination, the first of his second presidential term, adding: I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!.............................

Something has to give --and maybe soon??
I am referring to the obvious inability of Trump to speak clearly without mixing up words and repeating himself constantly.

(111,664 posts)Especially when you have an immense number of knowledgeable clinicians and specialists, quite familiar with his obvious symptoms, seeing him display before our eyes every day. Albeit, I do admit that some "medical analysts" are so intent on giving him benefit-of-the-doubt that they swallow and try to accommodate the ridiculous explanations given at every turn. They infuriate me.

(25,543 posts)He's taking medicine for heart failure, his ankles are awful, he has to get intravenous meds daily (more?), can barely speak, can't walk a straight line, is confused and out of it. It must be really bad behind the scenes that he can't be treated at the WH and has to go to the hospital.
He's in awful shape, just needs to fall over in public, writhe in agony and die!!!

The way his eyes are all puffy it looks like he's in heart failure. One more greasy burger sir for your health.😊

(67,231 posts)That's an odd way to describe a visit to the hospital.
She's downplaying what's going on that's not right with tsf.

(7,294 posts)This sad and worn out sack of humanity is in dire straights, but the truth will be hidden at all costs.
The cult without its cult leader would disintegrate.
Death in the elderly is often caused by a combination of ailments, each of which by themselves in a younger person would be treatable.
Enlarged heart, partial kidney failure, hardening of the arteries, long term dementia - a lethal combination in the elderly.
Sad, but you must remember how he has negatively affected the lives of many, even led them indirectly to their deaths, how he has broken the rules of morality and the laws of the land, and any sadness will be but a fleeting feeling.
Of course true MAGAts will be in sackcloth and ashes, and cry tears of despair.
The rest of us will be too busy trying to repair the damage to care too much.

If it's every three months, it's not 'yearly'... and it's a sign his doctors are making sure his health gets monitored
