Knowing the truth about Trump's current state is a matter of public importance
carries a stack of nondisclosure agreements around with him like business cards, ready to hand one out whenever needed. Trump Organization employees, campaign and White House staff, women with whom he’s been intimate — he’s tried to silence them all with NDAs. With some, this has generally worked out for him in the past.
That’s odd. Medical professionals are already required to keep patient information confidential. Unless a doctor had Trump’s permission, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act would bar them from sharing details about his health, as spokesmantold NBC News. “Any physician caring for the President is bound by patient physician confidentiality guaranteed under HIPAA,” he said in a statement, “and I’m not going to comment on internal procedures beyond that.
That’s left us to piece together a picture of the president’s condition from what we do know, which is that he was hospitalized and that he received supplemental oxygen and experimental drugs, potentially signaling a more serious bout with the coronavirus than he and his aides have let on. His hospitalization and treatment could have been a precaution, as his administration said, or it could have been because his condition was more precarious than he’d have you believe.
Knowing the truth about his current state is a matter of public importance. For the 74-year-old president, though, there is likely a lot to gain from shrouding that all in uncertainty. Though he routinely questions the physical and mental health of others, he has hardly seemed like a paragon of fitness.

Overwhelmed White Nationalist Militia Spread Way Too Thin Plotting Attacks Against Everyone Trump WantsWAUSAU, WI—Complaining that it was unrealistic to expect their small, grassroots terror organization to foment civil war on so many fronts at once, overwhelmed members of a local white nationalist militia stated Friday they were stretched to the limit trying to attack everyone the president wants them to. “So, just looking at what President Trump would like from us right now, we’re supposed to kidnap several congresswomen in Washington, run over some protestors in Louisville, and blow up a mosque in Minneapolis—how is it possible for a handful of guys to do all that?” said Dennis Blanchard, commander of the Badger State Brigade, who stressed that his five-member pro-Trump vigilante group was still very committed to the ideal of a white ethnostate, but had really overextended itself by trying to oust 10 state governments at the same time. “Look, I’m a motivated guy, but if I’m locked and loaded and en-route to CNN headquarters in New York, don’t tweet about something that’s going on in California, because I just can’t be there. We’re exhausted enough as it is. We’ve already got training camps to run, weapons to stockpile, polls to watch, online recruits to groom. It would really help us out a lot if the president could stay focused.” At press time, the domestic terrorists had reportedly decided to just drive down to Kenosha, plant a half dozen incendiary devices in urban neighborhoods, and call it a day.\n
