The state of Donald Trump’s health has been called into question since the man announced his bid for the presidency way back in 2015 — which now, frankly, feels like a million years ago, but I suppose that’s the way it goes when you’re in a living Hell. However, it was an unannounced, unscheduled, rather sketchy trip to Walter Reed late last year that really got the public’s gears turning in regard to how well he’s really keeping himself together.

In November of 2019, Donald and a small entourage of his people made what appeared to be a completely impromptu trip to the hospital with little more than a handful of doctors at the facility earning a heads-up before his arrival — something that Trump and his team ultimately passed off as a kickstart on his annual physical as he expected a rambunctiously busy start to the new year.

However, here we are a little over two months into 2020 and Trump has yet to follow up for the “second half” of his traditional presidential checkup, which typically takes place in the month of January — February at the latest.

The whole ordeal was just fishy from the get-go. Presidential physicals are typically announced days ahead of time and certainly always get their own slot on the schedule, and it’s simply unheard of to “split it up” in the way that Trump and his posse are attempting to claim.

Ever since that odd day in November of 2019, Trump hasn’t been eager to talk about when he plans to finish up his annual physical, usually simply walking away when he’s questioned about his health or when he’ll be headed back, despite the fact that on numerous occasions since, it’s seemed as though his health was on a rapid decline.

That is, up until today, anyway.

As recently as this past weekend, Donald shied away from questions regarding his checkup. However, it seems as though he’s dodged the bullet as long as he can — as he finally gave an answer today, albeit a bland one.

Asked by a reporter today whether he’s finished the physical and when we could expect a report on it, Trump finally answered.

“I’m going probably over the next… Uhh… Ninety days,” Trump replied as he seemed to cook up an answer on the spot. “I’m so busy I can’t do it!”

Was it a good answer? Nah, not really. Do I expect to actually see any reporting on a physical within the next three months? Not a chance. But it is a good indicator that Donnie is starting to feel the pressure of election season squeezing in on him, whether he wants to admit it or not.

Frankly, he has to know he can’t get away with these non-answers forever. And this particular excuse for one felt like he was just trying to bide his time until he weasels into another four years.
