Mike Pence and Milkgate

Washington DC – #TrumpStroke was trending last night, and President Trump was not happy about it. The commander-in-chief railed against the so-called fake news and stated if he had ministrokes, then they were mailed to him by no other than one of the lead members of the Coronavirus Task Force, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Dr. Fauci was immediately fired.

Politico reported the story Trump goes after Drudge over rumors of ‘mini-strokes’

An unannounced weekend trip to Walter Reed last November drew scrutiny on Trump’s health. The White House said at the time that the president had merely begun “portions of his routine annual physical exam.”

According to a forthcoming book by New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt, however, West Wing staffers were told to put Vice President Mike Pence on standby “to take over the powers of the presidency temporarily if Trump had to undergo a procedure that would have required him to be anesthetized.”

But, as Schmidt noted in response to Trump’s Tuesday morning tweet: “Book says nothing about mini-strokes.”

Drudge’s site led with a story by The Hill reporting the president’s morning tweet, running the headline “TRUMP DENIES MINI-STROKE SENT HIM TO HOSPITAL.” Trump later lashed out at Drudge, claiming that Drudge himself reported the president had had a stroke.
