The latest rumor to roil the political waters is that the President has been experiencing mini-strokes, and that is why he visited Walter Reed Hospital last November.
It’s just a rumor, not substantiated news, boosted by Trump himself.
But the statement by his physician was less than reassuring:
“I can confirm that President Trump has not experienced nor been evaluated for a cerebrovascular accident (stroke), transient ischemic attack (mini stroke), or any acute cardiovascular emergencies, as have been incorrectly reported in the media,” Dr. Sean Conley said in a statement. [Yahoo News]
Dude. If you haven’t evaluated someone for a stroke, logically you cannot say the patient hasn’t experienced one.
You cannot. You dispute that, you get to surrender your degrees in medicine and logic.
Is this a carefully worded denial, or a carelessly worded denial? Beats me. I suspect it’s just carelessness, the kind that characterizes an Administration of third-raters.
But keep it in the back of your mind.
