NY Times reporter Michael Schmidt's dropping his new book which includes the revelation that Pence was "on standby" during Trump's sudden emergency visit to Walter Reade for a 'cerebral event'. In other words, a stroke. And I'm just 1 of many folks saying he's been having them.

The book says nothing about a "cerebral event." It just says that Pence was on standby if they needed to anesthetize Trump for a procedure.

I'd believe it. Eisenhower had several health scares and a heart attack that were kept out of public knowledge at the time I believe

I thought that was the experts said as well.

He's not the healthiest dude either.

fake news. schmidt never said anything about a "cerebral event".



this is what he described in the actual article on his book:
Describing Trump's unexpected November 2019 visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he reports the White House wanted Mike Pence "on standby to take over the powers of the presidency temporarily if Trump had to undergo a procedure that would have required him to be anesthetized." (The vice president never had to take this step.)

We all knew it was a stroke. Unfortunately the ghouls in the administration would rather prop up a brain damaged dictator than do the right thing so...

The cat is out of the bag. It's no surprise, given the difficult tests he had to take following up. I think he was back in the hospital this last week even. He was slurring and stumbling.

I mean, even with Schmidt correcting the tweet I still wholeheartedly believe Trump had a stroke.

Oh. Here I thought they hospitalized him because he had a cogent thought for the first time in his life.

While it seems this is BS sensationalizing, if you're a reporter and hold back something like this for your book, you're part of the fucking problem. The entire political book complex is by and large absolute garbage, fueled by cable news giving them platforms to advertise and "provoke".

If he hasn't had a stroke he somehow managed to lose IQ during the last four years.

Either way, he's obviously unfit for office.

Considering the reporter is disputing that, and they're the one that wrote the book, we're locking the thread.
