That's what happened. Nobody said he did. An article was written asking why he went to Walter Reid. It said nothing about him having mini strokes. That idea came DIRECTLY from TRUMP. NO ONE MADE THAT ACCUSATION!
So, now we know.

(4,251 posts)mini strokes often demonstrate impairment in any or all areas of functioning: motor (gross/fine), cognition, emotion, social, sensory, mental.
Hell, Bunker Boy has poor control over his right (?) leg/foot. It flops and swings wide. He needs 2 hands to pick up and drink from a cup. He has difficulty walking down a ramp or up stairs. And the crap that he spews forth..... This is definitely when family members intercede and take the keys away from grandpa, consult specialists, and have someone come into the home to help with his care.

(1,296 posts)If a number of these symptoms are explained by strokes, then the evidence for PSP is weakened... and therefore the likelihood that he'll be in a wheelchair within a year, as would be typical if PSP were true.
IthinkThereforeIAM
(3,076 posts)... retired Air Force Master Sargent, MAC. She served in Guam and Okinawa in the early 70's and brought back POW's from Vietnam when stationed in California, by San Francisco. I mention her history as research we did found that there is a high incidence of PSP among those in Guam, the insects and bites...
She had trouble swallowing and her arms became frozen, she could not even reach to hold my nieces; two of us would hold her arms apart and another would put the child on her lap, her arms would, "fall back in place", with auntie hugging the child. I and her sister/my other aunt, took her Christmas shopping a few months before she passed. She could not even reach from her wheelchair to hold the items she wanted to look at as gifts.
She passed away in the nursing home.
So how would Trump become afflicted with PSP? I do not doubt that it could be a cause for his problems.

(13,058 posts)He may have and we know that his denial is not worth much. But to state that he had strokes as if it were a fact is inaccurate.

(2,981 posts)Am I conducting a trial or something WTF are you talking about? Why is he denying having a stroke when no one reported that until he started denying?

(13,058 posts)have evidence. As to why he is denying a stroke goes, I don't know. He says a lot of crazy things all the time. Of course I am skeptical of his denial, but again anything he says is not evidence.

(26,757 posts)You insisted in all caps that NOBODY else had said it... which simply isn't the case. DUers don't have to divorce themselves from reality in order to be "real" DUers, and pointing out clear error is not "defending" the subject of the claim. If you say he flew to Mars over the weekend and was replaced with a clone... do the rest of us have to buy that in order to remain real DUers?
Now you say that you've spent time in his mind and can tell what he was referring to?
Um... ok. Personally, I can't tell what he's tweeting about half the time. But perhaps you're more attuned to his thoughts.

So the president is denying something that no one has actually reported - that he had a series of mini-strokes.

It never ends! Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate - FAKE NEWS. Perhaps they are referring to another candidate from another Party!

President Trump denies he had a 'series of mini-strokes' that sent him to Walter Reed Medical Center
President Donald Trump denied on Tuesday that he had a series of ministrokes in November 2019 that resulted in him seeking treatment at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The claim stems from Michael Schmidt's forthcoming book, which says that VP Mike Pence was on "standby" in case Trump went under anesthesia.

(5,328 posts)I suggest claiming instead that "now we know" Trump is a Russian agent. Like the mini-stroke claim there's circumstantial evidence but it's not actually proven, but if it could be proven and accepted it would be much more effective in swaying the election, or could even result in Trump's removal from office.
