BREAKING: Trump Denies Stroke Sent Him to Hospital
The topic of Donald Trump’s health is finally going mainstream and it’s something that we’ve been talking about for years on this program. New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt alleges in his upcoming book that Mike Pence was told to be on standby to assume presidential powers during Donald Trump’s abrupt visit to Walter Reed Medical Center last year. At the time, the White House was saying that the visit was to get ahead of a routine physical for the President, something that just wasn’t believable. It is looking more and more like the visit was due to an acute medical event.
Trump responded to the story by revealing in a tweet something few had suspected and media outlets weren’t reporting. The President wrote, “now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate - FAKE NEWS.” Since this hadn’t been alleged, it seems like an admission from Trump out of the blue. If true, it could explain Trump’s numerous twitches and verbal glitches over the last many months.
Is Voting in Person The Safest Way?
A data firm is now predicting election “chaos” in America on the night of the 2020 election and in the days after. The political data agency called “Hawkfish” suspects that election night results will show Donald Trump in a stronger position to win than he actually is. That is because the initial results will largely come from in-person voting. As the days go on and more mail-in ballots get counted, Joe Biden is expected to close the gap and potentially win.
In the end, the correct results will probably come out but the trend away from Trump and towards Biden will make it look to some like the election is rigged. Trump supporters will likely take to the streets to defend their candidate and violence could ensue as a result. They could also try to stop the counting of absentee ballots through legal action. That’s why at this point, it could be better for people to vote in person if it can be done safely. Obviously there are caveats for those who are elderly and immuno-suppressed. However, my suspicion is that voting in-person and ideally early and in-person will best ensure your vote gets counted.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump Press Briefing Becomes Historic House of Horrors
Donald Trump held another one of his lie-riddled house of horrors press conferences on Monday. Much of the briefing was focused on protests and crime in “Democrat run” cities across America. Trump attacked Joe Biden for supporting violence, which he doesn’t, while at the same time defending one of his own supporters killing two people in Kenosha last week. Trump also admitted that the tensions and unrest could improve voter enthusiasm for him and perhaps propel him to reelection.
