Nancy Reagan did for a while tbh
Melania doesn't seem to love power the way Nancy did... if I had to wager on any one in that shitshow of a cabinet taking charge honestly I would put my money on Pompeo. Pence is too stupid, no one's gonna take orders from Jared, etc.

If he had a stroke and can’t talk, sooner or later the public will find out.

It’s not the 1910s
idk he could barely talk as it was

i'm afraid to say the hospital visit is probably just a scheduling fuck up. there are probably dozens every day.
this whitehouse is extremely incompetent (so this makes sense) and can't keep a secret (we'd know if it was something more).

He scheduled a cabinet meeting during the break in the proceedings so we will all get to see how he's doing. I watched his last public speech and he was incredibly illiterate and winging the speech with a complete lack of focus, but not sure if that was any more than usual:

As many people have pointed out, the White House has a medical facility in the building. He could have gotten his cholesterol checked by walking down the hall. Instead, he was motorcaded to the hospital. This was absolutely not a "scheduling fuck up."

I can't say with certainty that I'd notice if he actually suffered a series of mini-strokes in the midst of a public appearance.

Xpost also reports stated that he had his NSC meeting in private quarters yesterday and hadn't visited the West Wing all day. And cleared much of his schedule.
A source also suggested he was hustled into the vehicle for the drive to Walter Reed, suggesting urgency.
I doubt dude is like, dying, but I really don't think it was a physical. Since when do you do it in six month spurts? I have minorly high blood pressure and I have one physical and three month checkins. Data from six months ago may no longer be very accurate.
― Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 19 November 2019 17:12 (four years ago) link
Xpost you're probably joking but you really don't always notice the TIAs.
My dad had a bunch of mini strokes and nobody knows when they happened. Rather gradually he just stopped talking and holding his hand funny over a period of a month or so

Yeah, an uncle of mine turned out to have suffered a series of small strokes over time. Not good, but at least it was caught and understood in retrospect.

At one point in the proceedings, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the top Republican on the intelligence committee, referred to Vindman as “Mr. Vindman.”
“Ranking member, that’s Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, please,” Vindman quickly responded.

Yeah, I know mini-strokes often fly under the radar. I just meant he could be speaking to the world on camera in medium close-up and no one would be able to say for sure whether that slurred neologism he just drooled out was the sign of a contemporaneous brain event or Trump being Trump.

No way. He spontaneously rushed out of the White House on a Saturday (with no tie on) to get a head start (?) on an annual physical several months early? This is not a thing. He could have had anything mundane done at the WH, the only reason to go to Walter Reed, let alone with no advance team or notice, was something alarming, emergency or not. And he has been isolated (literally, this time) ever since.

"i didn't have a heart attack. You did. In fact you're dead now"
He speaks!
Trump on his unscheduled trip to Walter Reed: "I went and did a very routine — just a piece of it, the rest takes place in January — very routine physical." He visited soldiers then returned to White House. "I get greeted with the news, 'We understand you had a heart attack.'"— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) November 19, 2019

Honestly this is my favorite bit, namely that Melania didn't even know.
On his surprise visit to @WRBethesda on Saturday, Pres Trump says he went for a very routine physical, though even the First Lady asked him about reports he had a heart attack. And when asked by his press office if he was okay, he said he responded, "okay from what?"— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) November 19, 2019
