Unless there is a cardiovascular crisis requiring surgery,

[PCIntern]

he does not HAVE to go to a hospital

You can bet whatever money you may have left after filling up your tank today, that virtually every condition, pathology, complication, and symptom can be addressed at the White House. I’m certain they have a surgical suite for emergencies and staff to perform life-saving procedures, as well as all medications and instruments required.

You can also bet that after his hospitalization for Covid back when, they instituted a full-court press so that those optics won’t have to be repeated unless there’s a crisis. After all, it’s all perception.

[Goonch]

1. ;-{) MRI

[PCIntern]

4. He's had multiple Mri's

and who knows what’s in the sub-basement that was brought in and installed. There is no limit to the possibilities

[Wicked Blue]

13. This

[Jilly_in_VA]

2. So where is he?

Mar-a-Lardo? Underground bunker somewhere?

[2naSalit]

9. Hopefully...

In a drawer in the morgue.

[Mountain Mule]

14. I like the way you think, 2naSalit!

[Joinfortmill]

16. Haha

[dem4decades]

12. My guess, heading to the Middle East to pin a medal on the pilot that didn't get captured.

Those are his favorite and he needs publicly bump.

[FHRRK1]

3. Unless the medical facilities were in the East Wing

In which case I will be playing Alanis Morriset.

[Tetrachloride]

5. "I'm Ready ". Star Trek Strange New Worlds

[CentralMass]

6. Hiding in bunker somewhere.

[Maru Kitteh]

7. He's also a panicky baby with dementia and all manner of strange beliefs.

He seems like the type, at this stage of his devolvement along with his history of privilege, age and background to INSIST on going to the hospital if he really feels he might be in trouble.

They simply won’t believe that the medical staff standing right in front of them, who obviously know them best, have the slightest clue what to do and the “real” doctors all work at the hospital.

[PCIntern]

10. Too rational...

But your point is taken. I think the last place he wants to go is Walter Reed

[Attilatheblond]

29. Emergency treatment at the White House would likely be 'leaky'

Walter Reed might be more leak proof

[surfered]

11. Here's hoping..

[LiberalArkie]

15. I am still betting on the monthly "Young Blood" transfusions. Maybe from some of the young ICE hostages.

[BigmanPigman]

17. The next time he appears he'll be dipped into a vat of make-up

to cover his entire body.

[GusBob]

18. They have a cat scan or MRI?

I don’t think so

[PCIntern]

19. On what basis do you make that statement?

Nobody on the outside knows what they have or don’t have in that huge subterranean chasm.

[GusBob]

21. Just from dealing with medical emergencies is all

Do they have an OCT?
He’s at the right age and weight for Giant Cell Arteritis

I don’t think they can diagnosis or treat virtually everything

For that particular problem requires hospitalization and biopsies

[BannonsLiver]

20. I don't think we know for sure.

We do know he’s gone to WR for MRIs in the past. We know when he got covid it was bad enough that they had to transport him to WR. But it’s not out of the realm that they’ve installed an MRI machine on site in the time that has passed since he was last reported to have visited WR for an MRI.

The benefit of doing that, beyond the ability to do one quickly, is that it would eliminate the need to go to WR, which cuts down on the risk of the kind of speculation that has occurred today.

[Strelnikov_]

22. Psychological crises?

Paul Krugman posted today that he has not sounded like himself.

Maybe the hopelessness of the situation he has painted himself into is sinking in.

[GoCubsGo]

27. That's what I'm thinking, too.

Everything is turning to shit around him, like his Supreme Court/birthright citizenship escapade. His poll numbers are at a record low. Nobody wants his damn war, including a lot of his supporters. His economy is in the crapper. People are finally catching onto his gaming the stock market... He's got to be flipping out at this point. They probably have him sedated somewhere.

[struggle4progress]

23. If I only had a heart

[BlueKota]

24. Tsf could fit the tin man, the scarecrow, and the lion.

No heart, no brain, and no courage.

[struggle4progress]

25. +

[LeftInTX]

26. He didn't go...

Not this again.

This is turning into the Labor Day, Trump is dead thing.

The WH told the press he was in executive session due to Iran. (Aka....He doesn't want to talk about Iran)

[orleans]

28. hey! we can dream can't we?

i know i am

[kerry-is-my-prez]

30. Until he is seen in person, I still have hope.

Anybody could have posted that truth social post. I don’t think he has died, but I think he could be seriously ill. They would not dare post something from him if he was dead.

[orleans]

31. on the other hand, it would buy them some time to figure out what to do next

like try to frankenstein him back to life
