The president tweeted that he did not visit the hospital for “mini-strokes,” blaming “FAKE NEWS” for the rumor – although no news outlet reported that.
President Trump on Tuesday denied that the reason for his visit to Walter Reed Medical Center last fall was “a series of mini-strokes.” “Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate – FAKE NEWS,” he tweeted. Then, at Mr. Trump’s request, Sean Conley, the president’s physician, offered a fuller denial in a statement Tuesday. “President Donald J Trump has asked that I, Dr. Sean Conley, physician to the President, address the recent public comments regarding his health,” he said in the statement.
