A little while ago, the WH released a statement denying the 'speculation' about Trump's visit to Walter Reed this w/e. Odd to release it at such a late hour, and as @lawrence points out, we haven't seen his face since the visit..& they lie #TuesdayThoughts washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
2-"It is unusual for a president to do a physical exam in multiple stages months apart, and the circumstances surrounding Trump’s visit renewed questions about the White House’s handling of his medical information, according to several experts.
3-"On Monday, he remained out of public view, holding his meetings behind closed doors. He met with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell inside the White House residence rather than the Oval Office, according to a White House official familiar with the matter..
4-"The White House Medical Unit has the ability to perform many medical procedures on-site, including most that can be done in outpatient settings, said Jennifer Peña, a doctor who served as Vice President Pence’s physician until May 2018.
5-"“The most informative question to ask about the current situation is: What is available at Walter Reed that is not available in the West Wing medical unit?” said John Sotos, a cardiologist who has studied the health records of previous presidents.
6-"There are other reasons Trump’s visit to Walter Reed was out of the ordinary. During Trump’s previous medical examinations, the White House has announced the visit in advance, and the president has taken the presidential helicopter, Marine One. On Saturday,

8-"announced and put on their public schedule. That’s why it doesn’t quite fit the profile.” While there are other plausible explanations for the decision to forgo Marine One, the White House has not adequately communicated the circumstances around Trump’s visit.." ~excerpts WaPo
