Did Dictator Trump Just Have a Stroke on Camera?
More likely a mini stroke, but still a very bad omen
You knew that I was gonna write about this, right? Because I am absolutely obsessed with Dictator Trump’s health.
Yesterday, during a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at the Pentagon, Dictator Trump was displaying a pronounced droop on the right side of his face. His right, your left. Now, I’m not a doctor, but doctors tell us laypeople that if we see someone with a facial droop, they are having a stroke and to call 911 immediately. Time is critical during a stroke.
So there he was with his mouth drooping at least an inch on one side, shaking his head, unable to lift his right hand. But then he got on with his day. As if nothing happened.
Again, I’m not a doctor, so I started googling. Turns out Dictator Trump was displaying symptoms of a TIA, a Transient Ischemic Attack, what we laypeople call a mini stroke.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a TIA is a brief blockage of blood flow to the brain. It only lasts a few minutes, and unlike a regular stroke, does no lasting damage.
So what’s the problem, you may ask. The problem is that if a person has a series of TIAs, that usually means that a full stroke is imminent. Kinda like a volcano. When scientists observe…
