One of the truly weird and unanswered questions of the Trump era is now resolved. But why was it ever a secret in the first place?
It was one of the great mysteries of his time in office. Why, exactly, did President Donald Trump make an unscheduled trip to Walter Reed National Medical Center one sunny Saturday afternoon in November 2019?
Former White House aides say they’re surprised the detail never got out while Trump was president. After all, just about everything else eventually made its way into TV chyrons and newspaper headlines. Trump explained to "Fox & Friends" the following Friday that White House physician, Dr. Sean P. Conley, noticed a break in his schedule and asked if he would come out to Walter Reed for a portion of his physical.
A reporter on pool duty later informed the public around 3 p.m. that the president had arrived at the hospital, about 30 minutes north in Bethesda, where they waited for almost two hours. No events were listed in advance on thefor the weekend, and the use of a motorcade on a clear day — instead of a Marine One helicopter — only added to speculation about Trump’s health.
“The question is less what did they do Saturday afternoon. The more important question is why was it done?” Dr. Jonathan Reiner, the former cardiologist to Vice President Dick Cheney, asked on CNN. “It doesn’t make a lot of sense to do that kind of testing at Walter Reed without provocation.”
