40. Giving someone a new psychotropic is always risky with side effects.

Especially one given by IV.
And needing brain scan and testing.

They must be desperate.

Yes the new meds might explain his up and down mental status presentation.

But yes there are also other conditions requiring medical care.

I agree, it is highly unlikely Trump will go on a lengthy road trip again.
He is not capable of it.

Of course, Trump could pull a Putin and use a body double.
I know that Melania has used them.
