They may be precursors to a major stroke. OTOH they may not be.
I can't believe that is something a president can hide.
I need more than rumors to believe he is having TIAs.

Now, lot's of people are saying it. Just saying.

(11,643 posts)Trump's redneck base isn't turning out for Mike clear gummy bear Pence. They want reality tv not the most boring person on the planet. The only ones that would turn out for them would be evangelicals.

(5,812 posts)But with my vast knowledge on the subject (ahem, several grains of salt here), I cannot believe having repeated TIAs is a good thing.
Can our real medical pros weigh in on this??

(11,643 posts)Whats he going to do start drooling on himself, slurring his speech, shuffling around like an oaf, and saying batshit crazy shit that doesn't make any damn sense?
I submit that he could be in the midst of a stroke during a press briefing and we may not know the difference...

(21,793 posts)This runs in my family and I have seen it many times.
Unfiltered thoughts, blurting out inappropriate comments, losing train of thought, rambling stories, paranoia.
It gets progressively worse.

(34,661 posts)Sucker. Seen first hand mini stroke persons in our family and each time this Sucker is on a Video,boy oh boy,sure appears to have the same symptoms as our rellies. The speech slurring is only one aspect. Watching him walk is the real give away.

(12,676 posts)If he's in a cycle of using/abusing uppers and downers without regulation and constant testing, he could be having a series of seizures that present as TIAs because of the neurological imbalance that sort of cycle causes.
Speaking as someone who has a loved one on prescribed and maintained psychotropics that has seizures that seem like TIAs if not controlled by the appropriate medication.

IMPOTUS gets rushed to the hospital, his people say it was a routine checkup and media say, Oh, OK.
