White House insiders just made a staggering 'confession' about Trump's health: analyst
Former Republican strategist Rick Wilson warned on Tuesday that President Donald Trump's health has been declining and claimed that White House insiders have been trying to hide it.In his Substack post on Tuesday, Wilson responded to Trump's scheduled visit to Walter Reed Medical Center — his third visit in the last 13 months of his second term in office. The founder of the anti-Trump organization The Lincoln Project identified that Trump's hospital visit could signal what's ahead, despite Trump's comments that his visit with doctors went "perfectly.""This is the most dishonest White House about the President’s physical condition since Edith Wilson was forging her stricken husband’s signature behind the curtains in 1919," Wilson wrote. "The parallel is not casual. The memos, the 'excellent health,' the 'sharpest president in American history,' the careful staging…the cover-up of Trump’s diminished physical and mental capacity isn’t coming.""The cover-up is already running. Karoline Leavitt, Stephen Chung, and the rest of the White House noise machine have lied to the media for years about Trump’s condition, and never once been held to account," Wilson explained.Wilson also argued that the media has been "flinching" from covering the reality behind Trump's health — and that it could be only a matter of time before that changes."Genuine power doesn’t need to be advertised this loudly," Wilson wrote. "The frantic, escalating, almost pornographic self-celebration is the tell. It’s a confession in plain sight. The man building his mausoleum while he’s still alive is the man who knows he’s running out of road."And although the White House has tried to offer explanations for Trump's bruised hands, it hasn't stopped the growing questions surrounding his health."So here we are. A 79-year-old man, swollen of extremity and bruised of hand, looking like the victim of a zombie bite by denying it until he turns, shuffling between Walter Reed and a half-built ballroom nobody asked for, with an approval rating in free fall, a base finally asking quiet questions about grocery prices, a press corps too cowed to say out loud what they all know, and a clock, biological, cultural, and political, that he cannot bully into stopping," Wilson wrote."He is not coming back from this," Wilson added. "There is no third act. There is only the long, undignified, makeup-smeared decline of a man and a movement whose moment has passed, narrating itself ever more loudly into an ever emptier hall, a frowzy barfly of a man, replaying past glories that never happened and hoping you won’t notice the bad wig."
