trump was taken to the hospital EIGHT DAYS AGO.

@drsanjaygupta: ‘What happened is unusual: an unscheduled hospital visit for very routine testing could‘ve been done at the White House... took everyone by surprise, including much of the hospital staff.’
cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“We know that Trump is 73 years old, has heart disease and is clinically obese. For any man of that age and medical history, an unexpected visit to the hospital is concerning.”

@drsanjaygupta

cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“Over the past week, I have spoken to doctors who've previously worked at the White House and those who are currently in touch with the White House. They all say that what happened last weekend is unusual.”

@drsanjaygupta

cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“Given 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.”

@drsanjaygupta
cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“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.”

@drsanjaygupta
cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“Also striking: the president's physician rode in the presidential limousine. Typically, the doctor rides separately from the President for security reasons. A former White House doctor told me it never happened during their time there.”

@drsanjaygupta
cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“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.”

@drsanjaygupta
cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“[He] had tests just nine months ago. Doctors wait a year to order labs for a routine physical to better assess the impact over a consistent interval of time. There’s no benefit to draw early — unless there is a concern about something.”

@drsanjaygupta
cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“In Conley's memo, he described the visit as a "routine, planned interim checkup," not a "physical exam." Dr. Jennifer Peña, who served as a physician to Vice President Pence said these two characterizations are significantly different.”

@drsanjaygupta
cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“Routine annual is where we do a comprehensive history and physical exam, with any necessary labs and studies, while noting an "interim checkup" suggests a "follow up" visit for a condition or medication that is being monitored.”

@drsanjaygupta
cnn.com/2019/11/24/hea…
“The official [White House] readout of the [2018] physical did not reveal trump also had a coronary calcium scan. The test uses a CT (computed tomography) to look for the buildup of calcium plaques on the walls of the coronary arteries.”

President-Elect Biden’s Victory

Doing anything last done by FDR isn’t easy. And while it’ll take time to process 2020, some results we have make a compelling argument: Joe Biden’s was the toughest of the four defeats of an incumbent seeking RE-election dating back 100 years.

Economy

In 1928 Herbert Hoover faced what to this day was the worst economic period in US history.

In 1980 & 1992, Jimmy Carter & George HW Bush faced steep economic downturns.

While 2020 is devastating and the worst since the Depression COVID made it politically distinct.
3/

Intra-party support:

In 1980, Carter had to fend off fellow Democrat Ted Kennedy.

In 1992, Pat Buchanan was a thorn in Bush’s side reflecting tension within the GOP.

In 2020, trump enjoyed complete fealty from ~90% of the Republican Party. No meaningful dissent whatsoever.

.@SavannahGuthrie is showing exactly how to handle donald trump.
A huge tell he’s intimidated by @SavannahGuthrie is that he hasn’t barked “excuse me” at her.
He’s losing 1/2 a point per minute. By 8:39pm he will be at zero.

6 months 28 days since trump was rushed to the hospital without explanation.

Which is in itself an explanation.
Struggling with the water glass was telling.

But what was on full display today was his longtime balance problem.

Specifically: negotiating stairs, slopes, ramps, uneven ground. All caught on camera on multiple occasions.

These are all symptoms of 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘆𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a first step. Thx @realDonaldTrump for daring the mainstream media to cover your health after your tweet...

This can’t just be the horror of the day with a new one the day after and the day after and in a week someone jokes “I’m old enough to remember when.” It can’t be added to the pile.

It’s its own category.

And yes, I’ve been paying fucking attention.
One would normally say it will take someone being killed before something is done.

But getting someone killed is exactly its purpose. It would be their mission accomplished.
Context from the @nytimes:

This video was shown at trump’s Miami hotel by an organization supporting trump. The weekend event was for trump supporters and attended by Don Jr and Sarah Sanders and what will certainly turn out to be many other rotten souls.

Giving @TheEllenShow shit for this is a new low in rabid puritanism.

People really aren’t sure where Ellen stands? Are they not sure where Mrs. Obama stands: elle.com/culture/celebr….

Grow up.
I for one have had enough with Ellen, Michelle Obama and Lady Gaga. They have all deceived us long enough as secret war-criminal enablers! Expose them all!
NEW damaging info:

The team owner OPPOSES MEDICARE FOR ALL. WTF.

He REFUSES to change the team name to the Dallas COWPEOPLE.

They’re in TEXAS — which REJECTED BETO.

Worst of all: the football is PIGSKIN.

It’s clear...

ELLEN IS ANTISEMITIC & ANTIMUSLIM!

We’ll keep digging.
