All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[Conn Seanery]

Hey everyone. I realize that people can get fired up in a political thread, but I need you to understand that just because you're fired up it doesn't mean you have permission to treat other forum members like ****, make personal comments about them, or just generally deride/disrespect them. I don't care what the context is, you behave that way and you're out of here. I don't care how long you've been here, and I don't care if you're considered a staple of this thread/forum. Everyone had better make the extra effort to treat each other better or hold your tongue, otherwise you've got a booting coming.

And Trump is denying it, in his usual arrogant way.

Actually it came from a new book: Pence was on standby to 'take over' during Trump's unannounced Walter Reed visit, new book reports

As one article claims the moment he tried to say Joe Biden had this , its kinda confirming this did happen. Because it usually follows a trail of something happening and him blaming the other side.

Yeah, that story’s been making the rounds. Of course Trump denied it, hell, I found it fishy too.

You don't think it's possible?

I'm still baffled how Trump isn't dead, honestly. The stress of the job, even without empathy, should have flattened him by now

The think is, a stroke was speculates. Trump chimed in saying he didn't have a series of mini-strokes, which leads people to believe that is what he had. He didn't say, "I didn't have a stroke" he said series of mini srtokes, something only someo9ne who had mini strokes would say.

Trump's WH doctor just put out a statement saying that it didn't happen. Then again, we know what went on with the last WH doctor.

There are visual clues that suggest something is wrong, the way he talks, the way he walks, the way he holds a glass...but nothing conclusive.

The only way we'll ever know is if access is granted to Trump's medical records and/or something else happens to him.

Again I'm reminded of how in one movie, the president gets stabbed during an illicit affair, and can't go to the doctor because the public would have to be notified of the injury. How quaint that seems now.

To be honest, I don’t know what to believe anymore. I know the GOP and the administration has bent over backwards to protect Trump, but to hide something like that goes beyond mere coddling. Perhaps that’s why I’m skeptical, if that makes sense.

It does, but the GOP has demonstrated that they're all in for Trump. So covering this up, is well within their wheelhouse, IMO

Makes you wonder- if he were to suddenly die in office, do you think the Republicans would just 'Weekend at Bernies' him?

Nah. They'd make the best of it with Pence. The only reason they prefer Trump over Pence is because Trump's tweets provide a good distraction.

I think Trump would release his tax returns before he would his medical records. The former he could make up stories or just lie about to confuse everyone, but the latter represents an admission of weakness, something he hates.
