Did Donald Trump just accidentally confess to having a heart attack?
Earlier this week the New York Times reported that Donald Trump’s November visit to Walter Reed was for a dire but unspecified health issue. Trump responded to the news by denying that he’d had a “series of mini-strokes” – something that no one was even reporting – and in the process, he seemed to be confirming that he’d indeed had a series of mini-strokes.
Now Trump may be giving away something else about his health. Last night Trump refuted the CNN report that he’d “had a heart attack.” But as CNN’s Brian Stelter pointed out, at no point has CNN ever reported any such thing. Trump is once again refuting an oddly specific report about his health that was never even reported.
So did Donald Trump actually have a heart attack? We have no way of knowing. But he now seems to be confessing to health issues left and right. It’s worth pointing out that Trump spent nine months displaying physical and cognitive symptoms consistent with stroke, before he ended up apparently confessing to it. Now we’ll have to start watching for signs that he may have had a heart attack. At this rate Trump could end up accidentally confessing to everything that’s wrong with him.
