Oh I agree completely. It is incredibly stupid. So that's Jim Jordan's incredibly stupid defense of Trump's attempt to Bribe Zelensky. The attempt failed because he got caught. The Ukrainians got their money and they didn't announce a phoney investigation into the Bidens, ergo "it didn't happen." I heard Jordan say it, over and over, with my own two ears.
Ha ha ha, it just struck me how both hilarious and appropriate, in a couple ways, that name, Cheeto, is for Trump. If stress is a factor, Cheeto may not be with us by election time next year.
Looks like the secret service just rolls with unnanounced hospital visits: https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/24/health/trump-hospital-gupta-analysis/index.html The mystery of President Trump's unannounced hospital visit A surprise visit to Walter Reed Given that the White House had previously given plenty of advance notice about the President's past physical exams, last weekend's visit to Walter Reed reportedly took everyone by surprise, including much of the staff at the hospital itself. Whenever the President is planning a visit to Walter Reed, an institution-wide notice goes out, making staff aware of certain road and corridor closings. According to a person familiar with the matter, that didn't happen last weekend. Also striking: the fact that the president's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, rode with Trump in the presidential motorcade. Typically, the doctor rides separately from the President for security reasons. A former White House doctor told me it had never happened during their time there. Despite Conley's memo, there are reasons why questions continue about President Trump's unannounced visit to Walter Reed. For starters, all the tests Conley described could've been performed at the White House instead of the hospital. Many blood tests require the patient to fast overnight and are thus performed first thing in the morning -- not in the middle of the afternoon, as apparently happened with the President. I've reported in the past about doctors who seemed to cater to Trump's whims. One doctor who treated the President signed his name on a letter he later said Trump dictated. Another doctor said that he might live to be 200 years old. When Trump was running for office in 2015, his campaign issued a letter from Trump's then-personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, who wrote "His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary." Bornstein added, "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency." The letter stated that Trump "has had no significant medical problems" and called the candidate's blood pressure and lab results "astonishingly excellent." Bornstein wrote that his blood pressure was slightly better than average at 110/65 and that Trump had never had any form of cancer and only one operation in his entire life, when he was 10. The hyperbolic letter immediately raised flags. It wasn't a standard medical assessment of a patient's health, which is an objective record. Aside from the flowery writing, it was notable that there was very little medical history described aside from a note that he took a daily aspirin and a low-dose statin. It was hard not to notice the similarities between the over-the-top language used in the letter and the language that Trump was fond of using. Just over two years later, Bornstein alleged that very letter praising the candidate as a vision of health had been dictated by Trump himself. "He dictated that whole letter. I didn't write that letter," Bornstein told CNN. "I just made it up as I went along." President Trump's most recent full physical examination took place in February 2019, and it revealed that the 6-foot-3-inch Trump weighed 243 pounds, 4 more pounds than the previous year. It put his body mass index, or BMI, at 30.4, making him clinically obese by the guidelines from the National Institutes of Health. The results released by Conley also noted that the President had increased his dose of rosuvastatin, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, to 40 mg per day. His cholesterol levels showed a total cholesterol of 196 -- HDL of 58, and LDL of 122 -- a decrease from the year before.
I would love to see something like this at a Trump rally just to watch the media lose their damn minds. Extra bonus would be a shaved head Trump banging the drum.
