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.
