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.

    Arguably, FDR during his 3rd term and Reagan during his 2nd were both possibly in similar situation of incapacitation (Biden near end of his term was also questionable). Neither was removed and the first ladies (Eleanor and Nancy) managed a lot of the work…since that is Melania it could explain the increased speed of Russian benefit actions coming from this administration. Additionally, the cabinet is corrupt and thus has no incentive for removal unless he starts getting in the way of the cabinets’ own goals.
