White House And Fox News Agree: Trump’s Health Is ‘As Good As Can Be, Almost Superhuman’
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham wrapped up the first week of public impeachment inquiry hearings in an interview with Fox News’s “Justice with Judge Jeanine” and commented on Trump’s unannounced exam at Walter Reed medical center.
“We’ve got a really busy year ahead as you can imagine, so the president decided to go to Walter Reed and get a head start with some routine checkups as part of his annual exam. That’s all it was, it was very routine. We had a down day today, so he made the decision to head there,” Grisham said.
“He’s healthy as can be,” Grisham continued. “I put a statement out about that. He has got more energy than anybody in the White House. That man works from 6:00 a.m. until, you know, very, very late at night. He’s doing just fine.”
“He’s almost superhuman,” Pirro agreed. “I don’t know how anyone can deal with what he’s dealing with. I get frustrated with what’s going on in Washington.”
Trump also tweeted that his unannounced visit to the hospital was no big deal:
Visited a great family of a young man under major surgery at the amazing Walter Reed Medical Center. Those are truly some of the best doctors anywhere in the world. Also began phase one of my yearly physical. Everything very good (great!). Will complete next year.

Maybe it’s true! Maybe it’s not! It’s almost impossible to know when it comes to Donald Trump, who has no relationship with the truth whatsoever. It certainly is unusual to complete “phase one” of a physical, which I am not sure is even a thing.
There are lots of unconfirmed reports that Trump was suffering from chest pain as well.
This guy, a CNN analyst and former Secret Service agent, also thinks something is fishy.
This does not add up; the White House Medical Unit has very comprehensive facilities at the White House complex that could easily accommodate most of what is needed in an annual physical. As a fmr USSS Agent assigned POTUS, I have never seen the annual formality occur in stages. https://t.co/32KGdf8yXR

True or not, Twitter isn’t buying it.
So Trump had a motorcade escort him
to #WalterReedHospital with no notice so he could visit a great family of a young man under major surgery, and since he was already there he began phase one of his yearly physical.Yeah, totally believable, just like all of Trump’s tweets.

When you've burned all your credibility on big, medium and petty matters you lose the benefit of the doubt on important stuff. And, right now, no one realistically can take at face value the WH word on the president's hospital visit yesterday.

Earlier today on CNN, Dr. Sanjay Gupta said it's "a bit curious" that Trump went to Walter Reed for an unannounced visit. The W.H. said it was for a physical. Gupta wondered if the medical team had time to plan for his visit. Did they know he was coming ahead of time? (1/2)

Now @NoahGrayCNN reports: Trump's trip to Walter Reed "was not on his schedule as of Friday, a source familiar with the matter told CNN." As of Saturday A.M., the source added, the visit was not on Trump's internal schedule. W.H. declined to comment on when it was scheduled (2/2)
