Trump’s off-the-cuff disclosure that he underwent an MRI scan is raising fresh questions about the secrecy surrounding Trump’s health and the need for presidents to be more transparent.
Trump is the oldest person to be elected president, and his aides and allies have long projected him as the picture of strength and vitality.
Outside physicians initially raised questions after Trump visited Walter Reed Military Medical Center earlier this month for what the White House described as a routine follow-up visit, though it was his second visit in six months.
There are many reasons why an 80 year old could need frequent MRIs. My mother has them every 6 months. The question no one is asking is where are they looking. If it’s the head, the are tracking the rate of loss of brain volume. Regardless, Ronald Reagan had dementia while in office, it just made him quiet and submissive. Trump has senile dementia onset irritability. It’s why he flies off and spews nonsense.
Maybe the US should stop electing the oldest government in the world?
The problem is that the largest voting bloc is the Baby Boomers and they’re just electing their peers because they refuse to recognize that they’re old enough that they should have passed that baton about 20 years ago. Not that Gen X would be substantially better given their demographic’s track record and history of lead poisoning during developmental periods, but it would at least be a slight nudge in the right direction. It’s going to be decades before the Millenials and younger have enough votes to overcome the older, more conservative blocs, but that’s not accounting for the proportion of younger people that have been entirely brainwashed by monsters like Kirk, Tate, and Fuentes.
