'Needs to be evaluated': Ex-White House cardiologist highlights worrying Trump health sign - Raw Story www.rawstory.com/trump-health...

A former White House cardiologist says Donald Trump "needs to be evaluated" after a recent appearance in the Oval Office.
The president was seen surrounded by a group in the office that included Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr., and Republican Party representative Ben Carson. Despite the large crowd around him, Trump was spotted seemingly falling asleep as he signed off on a policy to bring whole milk back into schools.
A clip of Trump seemingly closing his eyes and nodding slightly has gone viral on X, and Jonathan Reiner believes it is a sign the president needs a check up. Reiner, the former cardiologist to Vice President Dick Cheney, took to X and said an evaluation of the current president is necessary.
He wrote, "The president seems to be struggling with excessive daytime somnolence. Repeatedly falling asleep with a dozen people surrounding your desk is not normal. It needs to be evaluated."
It comes as a separate medical expert, Professor Bruce Davidson of Washington State University Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, suggested Trump may have had a stroke.
He said, "My impression is that President Trump has had a stroke, and I think there's several lines of evidence supporting that. I think his stroke was on the left side of the brain, which controls the right side of the body." On The Court of History, Davidson was asked what formed his belief about the president's health.

He definitely doesn't need to see medical professionals about this. As a matter of fact, he's such a manly man he shouldn't accept help even if he falls over and starts twitching.
It's not twitching, it's floor dancing. It's the newest thing, nobody did it before him. You're such a trailblazer, Donald! Many people are saying that. Remember, not getting medical treatment makes you a tough guy, a real man's man. Fred Sr. would never.
You wanna talk about evil???
