Video Emerges of Trump Being Rushed to the Hospital

MP4 Video

You may have heard that the president* made an unscheduled visit to the hospital yesterday; he then told the press it was a routine visit to “start” his annual physical exam. But if we know one thing about Trump and his cronies it’s that they constantly lie about everything, and Trump’s health is one of those things.

So now a short video clip has emerged showing Trump and White House physician Sean Conley leaving the White House for the hospital in what looks like a rush, and it doesn’t appear to be a routine event. It looks more like, “Get him to the hospital immediately.”

We get a brief glimpse of some sort of yellow object that Trump is either carrying or has attached to his jacket, which may be a clipboard or memo pad.

This doesn’t actually prove anything, of course. But it’s not a conspiracy theory to suspect Trump would try to conceal it if he had a serious health issue. Developing…

On weekends, hospitals are wired towards 2 things: emergencies and maintaining people already admitted. When I had my re-stent, I was admitted on Saturday and maintained until Monday, when my cardiologist was in. If I was in the hospital on Saturday, no procedures were done until Monday or the first open slot during the week. The only exceptions were emergency procedures done by people who were already on shift.

A routine exam would be done on Monday, when all of the specialists were back from being off on the weekend, and when the emergency crush was over. And when all of the experienced and senior support staff would be in as well.

The Trumpsters are lying about both things. If it were just chest pains, they would hold him over for examination and tests until Monday, when the specialists were back, or call someone in to look at him. No one would risk that he would have more problems at home , even with a resident doctor.

Honestly this doesn’t surprise me. We all know Trump doesn’t take good care of himself and he’s really stressed the fuck out by the impeachment hearings.

I’d be shocked if he DIDN’T have a heart attack in the next few years.

I can understand Gov. Cuomo’s ire:
(via NY Post)

The banners were hung from various Big Apple crossings — including the Queens Midtown, Lincoln, Holland and Brooklyn Battery tunnels and the Manhattan Bridge — with defiant messages including “no retreat!” and “no surrender.”

One posted above the Queens-Midtown Tunnel called Cuomo “Fredo” — an apparent reference to Fredo Corleone, the ineffective son of Vito Corleone in “The Godfather.”

Washington (CNN)Tim Morrison, the National Security Council’s former senior director for Europe and Russia official, testified earlier this month that he was told the transcript of President Donald Trump’s July 25 call with his Ukrainian counterpart was moved to a highly classified server by “mistake,” according to a transcript of his closed-door meeting with lawmakers released Saturday.
During his deposition as part of the ongoing impeachment inquiry, Morrison relayed senior NSC lawyer John Eisenberg’s explanation that his executive secretary mistakenly put it in the highly classified system.

re: #79 William Lewis

Were I a prosecutor in a locale that had a death occur because of this attitude, I’d say charges of Reckless Disregard of Life or possibly Accessory to Murder…

The problem here is that Red Colorado is DAMN red. Mississippi-level. Anyone being elected DA in the counties where the sheriff won’t enforce red-flag confiscation is going to be actively on the sheriff’s side because the DA is usually even more conservative. And yes, in Colorado, those are both elected positions.

re: #6 CarolJ

This. It was enormously frustrating when I took my brother to the hospital for the third and last time very early on Friday morning at the start of the Labor Day weekend in 2018 as he was choking again. But he wasn’t dying, so they maintained him, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and finally took out that damned vertebrae cage on Tuesday morning. Thankfully there was a legal settlement from the initial car crash in May 2017 which caused the whole damned matter and covered the hospital bill. But I was mightily pissed off that it took so long to deal with what had to be done.

So yeah, whatever Trump and his medical team were doing on a Saturday, it was NOT NOT NOT a physical. There was some sort of shit going down. But because this is upside-down world, it’s going to have to be leaked. Not like when I was in my late teens and the White House soberly announced Jimmy Carter was getting some hemorrhoid surgery so the stock market wouldn’t freak out.

ETA: It wasn’t hemorrhoid surgery. He was getting the hemorrhoids freezed off, which was considered novel at the time. But the announcement was still made.

He could have been playing for a camera, which I’m sure Trump thinks is all around him at times. You can have chest pain, especially from a panic attack, but even minorish heart issues compared to a full heart attack, and still be mobile.

UPDATED TRUMP DOCTOR LETTER

“…President Donald Trump has no family history of cancer, diabetes, or death. The president’s family members are immortal beings that walk the earth without end, craving the sweet release of death that will never come unless they make a deal with a cool witch. Donald Trump will never die, he will just keep growing vertically forever until he lives in space. It’s really astonishing.

His physical strength is extraordinary. He can lift as much as a mother whose child is trapped under a car, but he’s more attractive than that mother and he hasn’t let himself go like she has. Have you seen the way she dresses lately? The hypothetical mother in this simile is a total chunk. 4 at best. As the famous doctor Hippocrates once said, “Would not hit.”

Since the Inauguration, Mr. Trump has kept an extremely active lifestyle. He starts every morning by walking straight up into the sky and then walking down again. He also visits me regularly for checkups. Mr. Trump doesn’t let me touch him because of gay, so I just eyeball it and give him a once over. I can usually tell just by looking how much blood is in him that day or which liver has taken the lead, so it’s not a super intensive process.

Mr. Trump is not only the healthiest president that has ever served, but also the most handsome. I usually want to kiss President Trump when I see him, but I would never break the doctor-patient trust, so instead I kiss the portrait of him I drew on my little note pad. There have been no presidents that even come close to President Trump in terms of overall health and hotness. Franklin Pierce was pretty hot, but his body wasn’t great. James Garfield was more cute than hot. President Trump is the total package. I know this because of my stethoscope.”

My mother walked both times she was having a heart attack…because she didn’t know she was having a heart attack at the time. The second time she calmly told my brother she had taken two nitroglycerin and he was all, “Get in the car, we’re going to the ER.” She had two stents put in that night. It really wasn’t until after the stents went in (she had a defined blockage) that the docs told us she’d had a heart attack, which they determined from the level of enzymes in her blood.

On the subject of cats, I was greeted with quite a surprise this weekend. I have an indoor cat with no front claws. He’s 13 years old, has thyroid issues, and has generally been a bit of a hobbled old man kitteh for the past year or so. This weekend, we went down to the basement to make sure he was fed and cleaned up after, and there was a dead vole on the floor, with half a tail. Apparently the old geezer had somehow managed to grab the thing and kill it with just his teeth and hind paws, and got as far as the tail before deciding that it didn’t agree with his diet. Nevertheless, I’m proud of my feline overlord.

Given that Trump walked unaided to his car, it’s more likely that the hospital visit turned out to be a false alarm or perhaps something minor. If he were seriously ill, wouldn’t he want the entire media focus to be on his illness to distract from the impeachment hearings? Instead of witness testimonies to his crimes, the TV would be broadcasting nonstop breathless reports on results of his tests and interviews with every specialist nationwide on the various outcomes of his ailment.

All of the lights were on Kanye West as he appeared at a Sunday church service in Houston, and the rapper didn’t hold back.

“The greatest artist that God ever created is now working for Him,” West said after taking the stage at Lakewood Church alongside pastor Joel 0$teen, according to Houston news station KTRK. “I’m here in service to God. No weapon formed against me shall prosper.”

The hip-hop star, 42, released a Christian album called “Jesus is King” last month and has hosted religious events called “Sunday Service” on the weekends.

“God has been calling me for a long time,” West told 0$teen on $unday, according to the TV outlet.

“The devil has been distracting me for a long time.”

I see cars like that with the very low clearance and think “nope” since they won’t survive the uneven roads around here. Potholes, construction, etc.

Yeah, that one is utterly impractical, though their regular Evora is fairly low slung too but is still usable on real roads :)

This is the first car I ever wanted, back before I was old enough to get a license.

Still the best taxis NYC ever had: huge bench seat in back with legroom even when the two jump seats were occupied. I still think of the old Checkers (or even the classic Ford Crown Vic) every time I have to contort myself to get into the back of the Priuses and other assorted mini-vehicles which comprise too damn many cabs in the City…

re: #61 mmmirele

My mother walked both times she was having a heart attack…because she didn’t know she was having a heart attack at the time. The second time she calmly told my brother she had taken two nitroglycerin and he was all, “Get in the car, we’re going to the ER.” She had two stents put in that night. It really wasn’t until after the stents went in (she had a defined blockage) that the docs told us she’d had a heart attack, which they determined from the level of enzymes in her blood.

Same here. I started driving to work on a Monday morning and realized that I felt like I’d swallowed a whole hard boiled egg. I drove all the way to work and then called my doctor’s office. They said GO TO THE HOSPITAL!. One of my coworkers offered to drive me to the hospital but I didn’t want to leave my car at work so he followed me back home, where I went in to put more food out for the cat and called the doctor again to tell them my insurance had changed. They said GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!, and my coworker drove me to the emergency room. Because I walked in (rather than being carried in), the check in person told me to go take a seat.

After about a minute of sitting there, a crew ran in from the ER and rushed me back onto a gurney, and went to town on me. It was the first time I realized it was an actual emergency. It was very mild (enzyme testing gave it away), but I had a stent installed the next day and was back home pretty quickly.

Can anything modern survive a Detroit- or Minnesota-quality road anymore, though? I mean, no matter how high the clearance, everything is built with sidewalls less than about 15% of the entire wheel-and-tire diameter anymore, and that’s, y’know, kinda how rims didn’t get bent three times a year in the old days.

That started making the rounds on Facebook a few days back. There’s a subreddit that tracks the QAnon cranks; it’s called “Qult Headquarters”….I saw it there a couple days back, and it’d already started circulating on Facebook at that point.

Yeah, there’s definitely some crazy people out there.

re: #143 Belafon

What made you decide to go?

3 straight nights of not being able to breathe when laying down, trying to sleep. I checked my BP that morning. 189/139. So it was time to go. I hadn’t been feeling good for some time, but I chalked it up to stress dealing with my dad at home (dementia/incontinence/Parkinson’s). He’s now in a memory care facility. That’s a whole different story.

Turned my lifestyle around pretty quickly. I’m not done here yet. :)

Ick. My “just before I was old enough to get a license” targets were the Celica All-Trac Turbo and the GMC Syclone. Unlike you and that Checker, they kinda still are, though I’ll admit my congenital spinal stenosis probably means I can’t safely fit in the Celica and would get occasional referred leg pain when hitting pavement joints in the Syclone or the Typhoon.

re: #133 Hecuba’s daughter

Given that Trump walked unaided to his car, it’s more likely that the hospital visit turned out to be a false alarm or perhaps something minor. If he were seriously ill, wouldn’t he want the entire media focus to be on his illness to distract from the impeachment hearings? Instead of witness testimonies to his crimes, the TV would be broadcasting nonstop breathless reports on results of his tests and interviews with every specialist nationwide on the various outcomes of his ailment.

Not necessarily. Trump wouldn’t want to broadcast a serious illness because he would almost certainly view that as a sign of “weakness” (at least in his wacked-out thinking) and I suspect he’d be worried that even his cultists might hesitate at the thought of re-electing a seriously ill man as POTUS.

The new wave of conservatism is dangerous. And it’s all the GOP’s fault.

Promoting his new book, “Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us,” Donald Trump Jr. naturally assumed that any protesters at his event at UCLA on Nov. 11 would be coming at him from the left.

But the hecklers who shouted him offstage last weekend hailed from the right. They were booing his college Republican hosts for not being reactionary enough.

Which means: The next wave of American conservatism is further to the right than President Trump himself.

re: #170 BigPapa

So Michelle Malkin is openly siding with neo-Nazis/white supremacists like Nick Fuentes.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope both sides destroy each other completely. I’m fairly sure that American political discourse would be immensely improved if all of those assclowns (YAF, Proud Boys, Turning Point USA, etc.) went the way of the dodo.

‘64 cream-colored automatic. I installed its first seatbelts.

I learned in a VW bus. Flunked the drivers’ test twice. Once for killing it with poor clutch-work.

I learned to drive a standard in my parents baby blue ‘78 Chevy Luv that had a camper shell on it. By 86 it had a hole in the floor. I learned to adjust the points because they were easy to get to and got out of place easily. We would sometime pack four of us in the cabin, and I would have to have someone else shift.

The only thing I was nervous about before getting the LASIK done two years ago was the possibility of last minute jitters, sort of a “the only thing we have to fear” situation. So when they offered me an Ativan I took it. Figure it’s always wise to take all the drugs on offer when they’re going to blast your eyeholes.

You know, I had been given some fairly high-powered stuff to help with sleeping (Ativan, trazodone) and damn, if those drugs did NOT work for me. I’ve wondered if it was because I already take a cocktail of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. What did help with the sleeping was buying a gel-filled eye mask. Apparently I need to have it completely dark to really sleep.
