He is unwell but how would they keep it secret for so long when he’s at the White House / DC. I think it would have leaked by now.

...looks like construction.

If not, could be any number of things.

Need more confirmation, more info than a speculative tweet with a map.

Same with the one about a Oval Office speaking appearance tomorrow at 2:00. Parnas isn't a reporter, and he's the only one with a cut and paste of some press schedule.

news source mentioning an announcement tomorrow is the Hindustan Times.

There are several people claiming to be from the area near Walter Reed on Blue Sky saying that the roads are closed, but as to the reason, people are just guessing.

to sound more credible that trump may have had strokes. Multiple accounts have gone over his meds and what types(s) of strokes need the medication he’s on. The glaring hand bruising. His absence around the 25th of the last few/couple months might be for treatments.

Your thread title made me so happy. Free at last! Interesting developments.

Or the work force this country needs to keep the country running. He hasn’t worked a day in his life so why would he even care?

at the White House where he announced that he wanted to reopen insane asylums.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-mental-asylums-homeless-b2818106.html

There are numerous articles quoting him over the weekend. However, the insane asylum one on piqued my interest just because......So, I traced it back to the original source and the interview occurred on Friday.


Tuesday - Cabinet Meeting. It's on the White House YouTube Channel

Wednesday - nasty call to Utah, which they played on our local news. I verified the date of the call
Friday - interview with Daily Caller
Sat, Sun, Mon - Golf
