President Trump needs you to know that he didn’t actually suffer a stroke last year; in fact, Trump was so adamant in his denials that he couldn’t help but talk about it over and over again on Tuesday, making it an even broader story.
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, Trump’s crusade suggested CNN fire political analyst Joe Lockhart after suggesting that Trump’s unforeseen stop on Walter Reed over last year was caused by a stroke, which the president called “fake news” in an earlier tweet in The Day.
“CNN fires Joe Lockhart, a lifelong failure who thought it was a wonderful concept for his compatriot Michael Dukakis to wear that stupid helmet, for knowingly pushing a conspiracy theory about President Trump’s health,” the Trump crusade said in an unsigned statement.
Trump’s crusade continued to tear Lockhart, who was in the past press secretary under the Clinton administration, for allegedly torpedoing John Kerry’s crusade on his own and predicting that he would do the same to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden “from a distance.”
“If any other CNN workers said similar things about Barack Obama, he would be fired immediately, so the same popular one deserves to be implemented here,” Trump’s crusade wrote.”It is, of course, unless CNN is complicit in the defamation crusade to target the game box against Joe Biden, someone who has missed a step.”
Trump’s diatribe about the suggestion that he was suffering from a stroke came after CNN reported that New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt wrote in his next e-book that Vice President Mike Pence had been put on “wait” privately to assume presidential powers “temporarily if Trump were to go through a procedure that would have required anesthesia” in Walter Reed.
Although the White House said that the president “is fine” and that his unforeseen scale at Maryland Medical Center in November 2019 included only a series of “quick reviews and labs” before a “very busy 2020,” according to a CNN source, He under pressure that Trump’s scale did not adhere to the protocol of an Array-regime presidential medical examination , which has fueled the hypothesis as to why the president made an unscheduled scale in.
Early Tuesday, Dr. Sean Conley, the president’s doctor, rebuked the suggestion that Trump had suffered a stroke that expired last year.Conley wrote that he may simply verify that the president has not suffered or been evaluated for a stroke, a mini stroke, any acute cardiovascular emergency.Conley added that recent comments about Trump’s fitness have been “misinformed in the media.”
Shortly after Trump’s crusade published his reinforcing the president’s refusal to suffer a stroke, the president continued with Matt Drudge on his ongoing diatribe opposed to the suggestion he vehemently denies as he proceeds to repeat.
