President Trump went to Walter Reed for his 6-month checkup. This seems like a very reasonable thing for a man who is 80 in a high stress job.

According to Trump, the physical went well. Chris Cillizza isn't convinced.
Three trips to Walter Reed in 13 months.

A visit every six months for a physical and one illness actually doesn't sound that dramatic.

Cillizza had a whole different take on this topic when Biden was President. As a reminder, Biden was legitimately impaired at this time.
Trump is being transparent and open about trips to Walter Reed. Chris likes secret doctor visits to Delaware with no visitor logs

Also, Trump is very active and always out and about. Trump talks with the press off the cuff for hours frequently. These are not things Biden did.
Kaitlin should learn that it’s standard practice for older adults to have lab work done and see a GP every 6 months instead of making it appear to be out of the ordinary. Not unusual especially for the Pres.

Some older adults on certain medications go every 3 months. None of it is odd or means death is imminent.

How is it unusual for an 80-year-old to visit the doctor multiple times a year? Get a grip. https://t.co/C0wwPHd5De

Tell me you have never cared for a near 80 year old parent without telling me - I DID, and these appointments are entirely normal for a person of his age, and do not indicate serious health issues.

This guy definitely put his parents in a nursing home because of inconvenient doc… https://t.co/7cDdYdXjj6
Chris has clearly never been around older people and doesn't realize what is totally normal.
Meanwhile, they hid Biden’s condition for years and…

THE PRESS: (shrugs) https://t.co/9cgrGKyaLQ
Pretty normal for 80 year olds to have 6 month physicals. You know what’s not normal? Secret visits by dementia specialists to the White House. Of course you weren’t concerned about that…
