Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

except the last one, and probably at least a couple others, I stopped checking when I found the first one. And I didn't exactly have to go back very far
The last one requested one because of his frequent speech fumbles.
What?
The last doctor requested one from trump?
Or trump requested one because of his own speaking problems?
Is this the part people say Biden's childhood stutter reappeared in his 70s with completely different symptoms from a stutter or are you just flat out implying Biden has zero issues speaking?
That was not part of his physical; the White House just lied about that. On November 16 of 2019 Trump was suddenly and unexpectedly rushed to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. During this stay, he was administered the the Montreal Cognitive Assessment; a test regularly given to stroke victims to assess any cognitive impacts. Following this, Donald Trump displayed clear sings of having suffered from a stroke, most notably, an inability to properly use his right arm (remember when he couldn't lift a glass of water to his mouth?) and even further struggles with stairs and ramps than he had shown earlier.
Do you have a source that says that?
Not that I wouldn't believe trump lied about it, but if he did there's be a shit ton of articles.
A lots happened in the last 8 years, I'm sure I've forgotten some of it.
Three days later they were still changing the story so at least one the stories they gave was a lie. Most likely all of them were.
Your article is from the November 2019, mine was January 2018...
I don't think they're talking about the same thing since they're almost 2 years apart.
