This is where I weep.
A bulk order of his book would be a convenient way for a special interest group to buy a little influence in the administration.

In an unannounced visit, Trump is getting the first part of his physical exam today per @PressSec: “Anticipating a very busy 2020, the President is taking advantage of a free weekend here in Washington, D.C., to begin portions of his routine annual physical exam at Walter Reed.”
Trump's 2 previous physical exams in office were announced ahead of time by the White House and noted on his daily public schedule. This time, the President's motorcade drove to Walter Reed unannounced, w/ reporters directed not to report the movement until arriving @ Walter Reed
This seems a little odd...

“One day, from his sniper nest, Chief Gallagher shot a girl in a flower-print hijab who was walking w/ other girls on the riverbank. She dropped, clutching her stomach, & the other girls dragged her away.” Trump is preparing to pardon this war criminal.

Trump’s Doral resort was a last-minute addition in search for G-7 site, newly released email shows
Secret Service agents had identified four U.S. sites as finalists for next year’s Group of Seven summit — but then they were told to add a new finalist: President Trump’s Doral resort, according to an internal Secret Service email released late Friday.
“Our original itinerary included Hawaii, Utah, California and North Carolina,” a Secret Service official wrote, describing a trip that a team of Secret Service personnel took in July to examine the finalists. “By departure, they had already cut two (California and North Carolina) and added Miami on the back end.”
“Miami” meant President Trump’s resort near the Miami airport, which hadn’t been among the original 10 sites that the Secret Service team had vetted. Although vetting of possible sites had begun in late May, the official wrote on July 12 that “yesterday was the first time we put eyes on this [Doral] property.”

So the WH lied about this previously. Huh. I don't think anyone could have seen that coming.

I am reading in some places that his annual physical is supposed to be in February, so this un-announced visit certainly seems a bit off.
This was from his last Annual Physical in February 2019:
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump, a fast-food and red-meat connoisseur who eschews alcohol and tobacco, is in "very good health" his physician said Friday after a four-hour physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.
"I am happy to announce the president of the United States is in very good health and I anticipate he will remain so for the duration of his presidency, and beyond," Dr. Sean Conley, the president’s physician, wrote in a memo released by the White House.
Trump’s health has long been a subject of interest, despite a doctor’s assessment last year that he has “incredibly good genes” and was in "excellent health." The 72-year-old president doesn’t exercise regularly, beyond golf, and acknowledged last year he takes a statin drug designed to lower his cholesterol.
The president spent four hours at Walter Reed. He returned to the White House Friday evening and did not respond to shouted questions from reporters.
Now @NoahGrayCNN reports: Trump's trip to Walter Reed "was previously unscheduled, a source familiar with the matter told CNN." As of Saturday A.M., the source added, the visit was not on the president's internal schedule. W.H. declined to comment on when it was scheduled. (2/2)

Can you start posting these examples so everyone can see. I'm not sure everyone's definition of racism is the same.

No - seeing unconfirmed reports that it was due to "chest pains"
And, since he left Walter Reed, I think that this is nothing out of the ordinary. I imagine the stress he is under right now is rather high.
Politically, its been a very tough week - no matter how you think the impeachment inquiry is going, the fact that it is going at all is stressful. Stones conviction - stress.
ETA:
A contributor for the Hill who writes on veterans issues is claiming that President Donald Trump visited the hospital due to chest discomfort. That’s a different story from the White House statement on Trump’s November 16, 2019 visit to Walter Reed National Medical Center, which said Trump was undergoing “portions” of a routine annual exam.
“#BreakingNews Sources tell me from Walter Reed the President was being checked out for chest discomfort. No other information is available at this time,” Andrew Vernon wrote on Twitter on the evening of November 16, 2019. Vernon’s Twitter page profile says that he is “President & CEO. Opinion Contributor @thehill. @ColumbiaMSPH Alum & @UMaine Alum. @USArmy Veteran. #GoHabsGo.

I hope he recovers from chest discomfort, if that's the reason he went to Walter Reed. Interesting that just today, a major study showed that Heart disease patients with exercise-induced chest pain may not need stents. The normal procedure for someone like Trump would include EKG and enzymes to rule out a heart attack, like Bernie just had. I'm guessing those came out negative. It still could be signs of coronary artery disease, especially given his age and his calcification score; maybe the meds will be changed.

Definitely...
And there is his out.
Due to health reasons from the stress caused by the dirty dems, I must resign.
Goes on to blame everything on democrats...and being so unfair.

Why does the administration feel the need to lie about Trump's health?

Under normal administrations...I could see the lie to not create panic.
This one though would lie about it anyway to protect the ego...he has to claim to be the healthiest ever (despite it being obviously untrue)

Edwards won in Louisiana. Another loss for Trump in a red state.
Of course we’ll get the tweet tomorrow that the only reason the Republican was even close is because Trump showed up.

I am pretty surprised that the President's health is not the top headlines of the day. I realize there is a lot going on in DC alone - but an unscheduled trip to the Hospital, followed by a dubious claim of "parts of an annual physical" and then a day of rest - should be the top story of the day.

I know some of us harbor tremendous animosity toward the President (and many of which believe that is, sadly, warranted due to behaviors, actions, policies...)
That said, this is neither the time nor place for jokes when we are dealing with potential serious health issues, especially as we collectively try to make this a better community focused on constructive discussion.
Hope this comment is ok by the mods - if not I’ll hide it. Just find it unseemly to joke about ones health.

White House Press Secretary says Trump has "more energy than anybody else in the White House" and Jeanine Pirro says "he's almost superhuman"
I don't think its "disturbing" - and I don't think the "cover-up", if any, is the story.
I think the story is the President might have a health issue that should be disclosed to the public. This is not a CEO (though even then, I think public companies have a duty to report key health issues to certain employees, like the CEO).

I believe we as a nation need to move passed the ### for tat “they did it” which only serves to help excuse whatsboutisms.
Just because Obama or the Dems did it doesn’t make something acceptable by Trump nor the GOP. And vice versa.
Someone needs to be the adult and lead. To do that we must move passed the transgressions on all sides and conduct ourselves as a democratic republic should, especially our elected leadership.

Maybe so, but I think it serves only as a distraction with everything else going on. Unless he at least stays overnight at WR or comes out with an IV and a backless nightgown, the focus should remain mostly on the impeachment proceedings.
With the CEOs - I think the concern is the potential for insider trading on the knowledge of a serious illness to a key employee. But, I am going on deep memories on this one - i.e. they may not be completely accurate.
With the President - I assume they have HIPPA protections - but at the same time, I think public interest is such that broad details of the president's health should be known.
At some point, Trump will need to release some info, otherwise the speculation will hurt him even more than the truth. He's 73, very overweight, has a high coronary calcification score and is taking meds to improve his lipid profile. The problem with Trump is that even when he releases some info, many people won't believe it, because of the way he dealt with the release of prior health info.

I sort of agree...but he was released from the hospital. We don't even know what the issue is. Since he was released Im going to assume he isn't in any immediate danger health wise. Sure, we shouldn’t wish poorly on him, and I don’t believe anyone has. But some jokes seems pretty tame. I get what you are saying and edited one of my comments out of my post.

I agree with everything you said here... but all that can (and should be) accomplished without resorting to jokes is my only point. If anything, joking about the matter convokutes the serious issues at hand with his ability to perform physically and mentally.

Agreed. Bernie’s heart attack killed my support for him as a presidential candidate. If Trump had a heart attack it would definitely have a negative impact on his support, so it would make sense they would want to keep it quiet, but it comes across as highly unethical

So there you have it:
Press secretary Stephanie Grisham on Saturday argued it was “dangerous for the country” for anyone to challenge the veracity of her claims.
Grisham made her argument after President Donald Trump went to Walter Reed Hospital for an unannounced doctor’s visit, resulting in a great deal of speculation.
Following the visit, Grisham claimed Trump was “healthy” and “without complaints” — a claim many found unlikely as the president has spent a good deal of time as president airing his many grievances.
“Further speculation beyond the extensive & honest info I put out is wholly irresponsible & dangerous for the country,” Grisham argued.

I get they don't want people making up stuff like "I heard he's got cancer". But the blanket "don't question us" is never well received.
On another note, please check your PMs from earlier this week. Thanks.

The recent Presidential pardons have not been discussed:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/11/15/us/trump-pardons.amp.html
The Pentagon advised Trump not to do this because these men are criminals who committed war crimes. I think Trump is trying to show voters how tough he is, that he won’t punish soldiers for “being tough.” This sends a terrible message to the few allies we have left; just another bit of American exceptionalism being chipped away by this President.
