Sure, that’s a bit far-fetched, and they probably couldn’t get away with that for long, but look how much else trump and the trump admin has been able to get away with that would have seemed unthinkable, not that long ago.

The BBC quotes him as saying "He also noted the president had “strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and overall physical function” and was “fully fit to carry out all duties of the commander-in-chief and head of state”. Much as I like to diss the Trumpentwat, the word ‘strong’ is in the BBC quote, but not the ones mocking him for just HAVING a heartbeat. Which is correct? ---

The original ABC story left out the word “strong” - which in any case is a non-standard description applied by Trump’s chief medical fluffer. Remember though that Trump, according to the AI-enhanced EKG\* (😆) has the heart of a 65-year-old man. We just don’t know what that man’s condition is, or if he’s even alive. \*Cardiologists around the world are laughing or shaking their heads in disgust at that test, which apparently comes out of a single published paper but has not been accepted as a valid means of clinical evaluation. ---
