Reaction to learning that Trump’s unscheduled Walter-Reed visit last year was out of concern for stroke:

*If true* then it would seem more likely that Dr. Scott Atlas was added to Trump’s medical team, and later to the Task Force, not the other way around. (1/5) https://twitter.com/aynrandpaulryan/status/1300551844201025536

*If true*, then the ongoing mystery regarding Trump’s

slurred speech
gait instability
drooping eyelid

is solved: these are almost certainly signs and symptoms of a TIA (a mini-stroke)

*If true* the revelation that Pence was poised to assume Presidential duties raises the level of concern significantly.

This is suggests that Trump’s medical team had a strong suspicion that he may need anesthesia for a procedure to diagnose or treat *an acute problem* (3/5)

All that to say, there’s a lot we don’t know, but there’s enough to seriously worry about Trump’s health.

The scenario described by the story has sufficient detail to raise other questions:
- why was he allowed to take HCQ?
- is he on a blood thinner?
- what’s the plan?
(4/5)

Normally, I champion patient privacy, but this is no average patient.

As a country, we are owed a full explanation, and a list of medical interventions Trump has undergone since taking office.

This will help make sense of Executive Branch actions past, present, and future./end
