Trump to make medical exam public after slurring words, White House says

[n2doc]

Source: NBC

President Donald Trump will have a physical exam early next year and will make the results public, the White House said Thursday, a day after the president appeared to slur his words in a public address.

Near the end of his policy remarks Wednesday on Israel, Trump, 71, began having difficulty with words that included the letter "s," voicing some of them as "sh." He ended by saying what sounded like "and God bless the United Shtesh."

Scores of people asked on social media whether the president had had a stroke or was struggling with dentures, which he isn't known to use.

1. Why wait until next year?

I wonder if this isn’t a pretext for new damaging news about Trump coming out?

[n2doc]

2. Delaying tactic

They want to get him all fixed up, like late stage Reagan, to keep the game going.

[Biggles53]

3. Or want to provide a medical excuse...

...for whatever Mueller brings against him...?

[bench scientist]

5. Thats what Im wondering.

[bench scientist]

4. Fair point.

You think he will resign for health reasons once they get their tax bill? Pence will surely do their bidding. Gleefully even, if it means stripping the rights of certain segments of the population.

[n2doc]

6. I don't think so

He is an excellent distraction for them, and the worse he gets the bigger the distraction. I guess he might resign if the heat gets too much and they need some sort of sympathy or revenge-against-the-'swamp' boost from their base.

[Rollo]

53. Hitler had a quack doctor keeping him going towards the end of WWII...

He was pumped up with amphetamines and then brought down with sedatives... over and over and over... and his decisions became ever more irrational and destructive (his last command was for what was left of his military to destroy everything in Germany)...

Good times.

[Thor_MN]

20. Because the ACA is such a disaster, it was the first appointment he could get.

Actually, a delay/distraction, just like his tax returns. Hoping that people forget over the holidays. Dr. Vinny Boombatz will give him a clean bill of health, saying Dolt45 is probably the heathyiest president ever.

[bench scientist]

30. And that Trump didnt slur his words at all.

I mean who are we to believe Trump,the most bestest leader of ALL time ever, or our lying ears?

[Thor_MN]

32. It has always been the United Shtatsh!!!

[bench scientist]

33. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

[treestar]

59. reminds me of the Spanish King who has a lisp

and therefore, everyone in the court started to talk like that and now it's part of the Spanish accent to pronounce an "s" as a "th." We could see Deploraples start to talk like that!

[lark]

44. It's what he always does with his lies.

He had proof of Obama "wiretapping" him and would show it in 2 weeks.
He'd release his taxes in a few weeks.
It's always a few weeks later and it never comes. This is just what he does with his lies, delay and destract. He knows the new year will bring a new budget resolution that he has to use to close the government and blame the 'dems. No one will remember to ask then, and if they do ask, "we'll get back to you later".

[still_one]

7. The way I feel, and the way the media went after Hillary with the walking pneumonia, f**k trump, the

republicans, and our illustrious press

If there is something actually physically wrong with him, I could care less

[J_William_Ryan]

8. And?

No one can believe anything coming from this WH.

[Phoenix61]

9. He said he was going to release his tax

returns. He said he wouldn't have time to golf because he would be too busy working. He lies every time he opens his mouth to do anything other than breath.

[BigmanPigman]

12. I immediately thought of the promised release of his taxes too.

[Scarsdale]

26. The ONLY way we will

be able to accept the results (IF they are released) is if the examination is done in front of several members of each political party. tRump is not the only one who needs a physical exam. Huckerbee Sanders seems to be delusional too. Kellyanne is a lunatic, and widdle Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is certainly "not right in the head". His memory is shot, can't remember what he did yesterday. If Hope Hicks steams tRump's suit while he is wearing it, eeewww! How can she do that without vomiting?

[Bob Loblaw]

10. Sure he will

And after that he'll apologize to all the people he's slurred.

[truthisfreedom]

11. I think its wonderful how hes been working so hard

To remove himself from the White House by eating complete garbage in mass quantities.

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Dental exam/orthodenture exam more merit-worthy.

[Solly Mack]

14. ...

Yeah, OK.

"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Bornstein wrote.

LMAO

[n2doc]

15. That pic should be on the wikipedia page for 'Quack'. n/t

[Solly Mack]

17. That "Doc" is a hoot.

And a quack.

[Dave Starsky]

41. It's like they went to Central Casting in Hollywood...

And said, "Quick, I need a quack doctor for an episode of Pee-Wee Herman's new show! Who can you send over?"

[LisaL]

16. Early next year? Not like it's urgent or anything.

[safeinOhio]

36. I'll bet, by then he will have forgotten about it.

[HopeAgain]

18. He will release them as soon as the IRS is done auditing them

[Rollo]

54. After he has Barron supply the blood and urine samples in his stead...

Once a con man, always a con man

[JawJaw]

19. Yet another stalling tactic.

He'll release his medical record just after he release his tax records, and just after he sues all those women who accused him of sexual assault...

[Lucky Luciano]

21. A stroke?

[Pacifist Patriot]

22. I'll take "broken promises and lies" for $800, Alex.

[titaniumsalute]

23. If he doesn't stroke out by January...

[Vinca]

24. If he wasn't a teetotaler, I would have sworn he was drunk.

[Marie Marie]

25. Well, if there was ever a time for him to start drinking, this would be it.

After all, It's Mueller Time!

[treestar]

60. Yep!

[bettyellen]

31. You can't assume he doesn't do drugs though. Don Jr was coked up or

So something similar much of last summer. It appears his dad has extreme highs and lows too.

[Vinca]

37. Good point. He does have that odd sniff.

[bettyellen]

46. There's some seriously disturbing interviews w Don Jr I'm thinking of and it pissed me off that no

One discussed his demeanor or being aggressive and very speedy, shaky and sweating. HRC just sweating would have made headline though. But he was, as mom used to say "on something", most def.

[TheCowsCameHome]

27. Ignore them, Donald. In fact, think Supersize.

Just keep packing down the McDonald's garbage.

It's really good for you.

[rurallib]

28. Like so many of his promises it won't happen

just another comment to shut people up.

[Roland99]

29. Al Franken gets to pick the doctor.

[left-of-center2012]

34. He will again test positive for everything

cooties?

[jb5150]

35. His doctor looks like he's been busy

sampling the meds ...

[Nitram]

38. Trump will never make a physical exam public. Another onee of his lying empty promises.

A ploy to take the heat off for a while in hopes the public will forget about it.

[hatrack]

39. Oh, bullshit

They'll release the results right after the Titanic steams into New York.

[kwassa]

40. Right after his tax returns.

[Cold War Spook]

42. If the sluring went away

withing a couple of hours, it could be a TIA, of which I am very familiar. He is definitely bipolar, of which I am very familiar. He is also in at least the first stages of dementia, another thing of which I am very familiar. And I would not rule out sociopathy which again I am very familiar.

[dalton99a]

43. Exactly.

[davsand]

45. Will this one at least be written with a "big kid" pencil?

[maxrandb]

47. We'll see these records

Right after we see his tax returns.

[Akoto]

48. As much as it physically pains me to possibly defend Trump...

It *could* have just been a case of cottonmouth caused by not drinking enough.

When my dry mouth issues act up, it gets worse and worse the longer I don't have something to drink, and I sound just like that. I'm especially prone when I talk for a long time or when I'm in a situation which kicks up my anxiety.

[Grammy23]

63. It could also be a side effect from medications that he takes or

are being sprinkled on his pablum in the morning.

He does have some weird changes in his mood from calm to snarky. He CAN appear to be almost “normal” in some settings but put him at some of his rallies and he is a different guy. Nasty and full of piss and vinegar. In order to achieve the calmer tRump they could very well be secretly medicating him and as a result, he has the cottonmouth. You'd Think by now someone in that troop of clowns would remember to put a bottle or glass of water at the podium.

[blugbox]

49. He will just say

He lacks SUH-LIGH-VAHH

But I'm secretly hoping it's something worse. He's the only thing on this planet that I wish something bad upon.

[jmowreader]

50. He's not going to that quack that looks like Brent Spiner in Independence Day, is he?

No, children, he must do like every other president has done and get his physical done by a Navy surgeon. If he goes to Manhattan and sees Dr. Okung, he'll be given a clean bill of health then walk out the door and collapse with a brain aneuryism, a heart attack, asphyxiation due to acute rectocranial inversion, and terminal Domum Stercore Syndrome.

[Rollo]

51. And what's the downside to that?

[jmowreader]

55. Very little, if he did keel over dead

However! If the only thing wrong with him is Domum Stercore Syndrome (which means he's just crazier than a shithouse rat) and he's allowed to keep on presidenting, the damage he could do is immeasurable.

[treestar]

61. Exactly. And it has to be detail,

not just the doctor claiming he examined him and he's fine. BP numbers, Blood sugar, cholesterol, etc.

[olddad56]

52. don't be surprised if they find neither a heart nor a brain.

[Turbineguy]

56. Sounds like a job for Dr.

Feelgood.

[unblock]

57. Itll take him at least a month to detox

[pansypoo53219]

58. freudian slip. god bless amerussia.

[Bengus81]

62. You'll see those REAL results right along with his tax returns...........

They might toss out some BS but you'll never see the official version.
