President Trump tweeted Monday that he’d been to Walter Reed Medical Center over the weekend to begin Phase 1 of his yearly physical, which of course set CNN’s Brian Stelter on a tear, obviously not believing the story he’d been told. Well, it’s not that he didn’t believe it; he’s hurt because he just can’t trust what has come out of the White House since 2016.
Someone who hasn’t been paying attention at all at Politico decided to write up a piece suggesting that Trump drop out of the 2020 race (or be removed from office) if he physically isn’t up to the task. Maybe they wrote one, but we missed the Politico piece suggesting Bernie Sanders, 78, should drop out of the race after he had a heart attack on the campaign trail.
Opinion: The White House job requires someone who's physically up to the task. If Trump is not that man, he needs to exit the 2020 contest (or at the most extreme, let the officials around him activate the 25th Amendment) https://t.co/1oLwQJp3J3

Not only did Sanders have a heart attack — we all watched blood well up in Joe Biden’s eye during a town hall. And remember the scolding we got when we started asking questions about Hillary Clinton’s fainting spells and coughing fits.
So, Bernie is out. So is Biden.
Right? https://t.co/yDTsyyZDdW

So @JoeBiden is out then too. Right?

Now do Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders. Or even Elizabeth Warren. https://t.co/jNxmTRu66F

Now go back and find 2016 articles and opinion pieces like this one, except that the subject was Hillary and her various health problems that included falling or stumbling several times. Or just prove once again that you subscribe to the media double standards in our politics. https://t.co/jNxmTRu66F

GP I’m so old I remember when it was practically treason to ask about Hillary’s health when she literally collapsed on live TV and was dragged limp and lifeless into a Suburban and rushed to Chelsea’s penthouse. https://t.co/uJeZBgBa6f

You clowns. Where were you when Hillary was tossed into an SUV like a side of beef?

Your 25th amendment meme wasn’t scheduled til January, you jumped your impeachment, racist, sexist headline rotation. I’m sure the 8th time through is a charm.

Seriously, this is a bullshit smear piece.
Shameful to even publish.— AndrewStateCollegePA (@andrew16875) November 18, 2019
