6. We know that Trump received a CT scan as part of his emergency hospital assessment

following the Butler shooting incident. That was mentioned in passing in Ronny Jackson's whitewashing of the medical report, and although there was obviously nothing relevant to the shooting, I wondered at the time why nobody questioned whether it revealed anything that might be related to his declining cognitive status, e.g. diffuse cerebral white matter disease. Maybe the doctors found something like that and recommended a followup or "advanced" (e.g. PET scan) imaging in the future (which is now). Also, an MRI is much better than a CT for detecting white matter disease, so it could have been recommended if some evidence was found on the initial CT. 🤔
If he had a "clean" CT scan at the Butler hospital, his handlers wouldn't have felt the need to filter it through Ronny Jackson. What have they been hiding for the past year, and what are they hiding now?
