President raised questions by attending appointment with dentist in Florida – despite the White House having one available to him

Americans are questioning whether or not President Donald Trump is healthy enough to serve in the Oval Office, according to a new poll. The findings come amid Trump’s recent unannounced dental procedure over the weekend, where he chose to visit his local dentist rather than use the on-site dentistry clinic at the White House.

The president was in Florida over the weekend to attend regional events, including a PGA tour game at his Doral golf club. On Saturday, a report from the White House press pool noted that Trump went to visit his local dentist in Florida for a scheduled appointment. Back in January, Trump made a similar visit to his Florida dentist, even though the White House has its own dental clinic on-site, USA TODAY reports.

    Time to try it out that old Soviet joke again and just sprinkle a little American on it:

    A man goes up to a newspaper stand, buys a copy of the New York Times, takes one look at the front page, and throws it away with a disappointed look on his face.

    Every day, he comes back to the newspaper stand, buys a copy of the Times, looks over the front page, gets disappointed, and then throws the paper away without opening it.

    This goes on for a few weeks, and finally the man running the stand asks him, “Why do you keep buying a paper and not reading it?”

    He replies, “I’m just looking for an obituary.”

    “But there aren’t any obituaries on the front page.”

    “This one will be.”

      I don’t think the cons are prepared for how much celebration there will be if PEDOnald were to get the hamburger from heaven while in office…

      They have no idea right now. They think it’s just a handful of people with blue hair or nose rings or however it’s presented to them via Big Tech algorithms and Faux “News”.

      I don’t think America has ever had anyone so hated and had so much power. The cons think that they had to “suffer” under Obama or Biden, though, so they live in complete delusion.

    The dude is bragging about “passing” a dementia screening test because he thinks it’s an intelligence test.

    I think we’re well past “unfit”.

    Hate to disillusion you, but he will easily go another 5 years, and maybe more. His handlers will pump him full of steroids, opioids, hemorrhoids, and every other oid to keep him in power until Project 2025 is complete.

    Eh, I don’t care about him going to the dentist he’s been seeing for umpteen years; it’s more concerning that he keeps falling asleep in meetings and stuff.

    Although a friend points out he does less damage when he’s asleep. (And maybe if he didn’t stay up all night tweeting, he wouldn’t fall asleep during the day.)

    Any unavailability resulting from a medical episode drastically boosts his competence in my eyes.

    Hopefully the “dentist” is actually a cardiologist who has just told him his arteries are roughly 90 percent plaque.

    Press didn’t see him enter nor leave the dentist office. The White House has a dental office anyways, as it’s been used by every president since Hoover. So it’s all a lie.

    I’m not sure this is a good indicator of anything if taken at face value. Despite being out of network, I use the same dentist I have been seeing for 20 years because I trust the work they do and they do a good job. I know a lot of people who go to doctors in other states and schedule appointments when they know they will be in town.
