Do they think people are that stupid? [View all]

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/08/donald-trump-walter-reed-checkup

Donald Trump, the oldest man to be inaugurated US president, will visit Walter Reed national military medical center on Friday for what the White House said was a “routine yearly check up”.

“On Friday morning, President Trump will visit Walter Reed Medical Center for a planned meeting and remarks with the troops,” the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said in a statement on Wednesday. “While there, President Trump will stop by for his routine yearly check up. He will then return to the White House.”

This is the second time since returning to the White House in January that the president has gone to Walter Reed for an exam. Last time, it included cognitive and cardiology tests. It is not clear what exactly this checkup will entail.

There is nothing routine about his second medical check up this year.
They are lying.
