…since he’s no longer POTUS, and didn’t serve in the military for five years.

I had also been thinking maybe its time for his colonoscopy, but it won't be at Walter Reed at this time.

My thoughts are:
--if it were a legal matter, he'd be wearing a jacket and tie. Projects power.
--maybe an urgent or unplanned medical thingy
--maybe he's getting lazy/depressed so didn't want to change out of golf clothes, like he normally does, when going from golf place A to golf place B when he's playing both in the same day. NJ to DC is a shorter trip than to/from FL. (yes, his FL place isn't a golf place, but he dresses down while there, but not en route usually)

He's most secretive about medical procedures that he thinks would make him look weak.

Like when he got his colonoscopy... kept it quiet. As a matter of fact, it's probably that, tbh.

…but, considering that, last week, he stated that he should be reinstated as POTUS, is there a possibility that his allies in the armed forces and congress might be about to attempt a(nother) coup?

Now maybe, he's constipated, with six days of cheeseburgers blocking the evacuation ramp. In D.C. Republicans are experts in bullshit so maybe he figures.....

Answering questions from the Jan 6th committee, or the raid on his home or
something that is insignificant, a family function or something.

He'd never answer their questions. And if he did, he would never keep quiet about the fact that he was going to.

He didn't plan to leave where he was, had no say in the decision.!.


Secret Service is delivering him to somebody's order, and Im thinking that the list of who can do that is short.

Doesn't her order go in on Monday, so he would have to be indicted on sunday.

Again the fact that he didn't do any message on truth social or release any statement
on the anniversary of 9/11, and the fact that no Journo or statement has been released,
I think it's something very bad for Trump.

Surly a medical emergency would have him taken by helicopter to Walter Reed?

Also no MSM have even mentioned it, you think it would be at least reported by now
that Trump has landed in DC.
