Donald Trump’s tiredness, recent MRI and hand bruise suggest he may be taking medication to treat Alzheimer’s disease, according to a “curious” California Democrat.
Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., tweeted that Trump is showing signs he’s taking the Alzheimer’s disease drug Leqembi.
“The Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi:- Is administered through an infusion (for example, through the hand)- Can cause swelling, bleeding, or fluid leakage in the brain, requiring regular MRIs- Can cause tiredness,” Kamlager-Dove tweeted along with a picture of Trump’s hand bruise. “Curious.”
I couldn’t roll my eyes harder at this level of zeroing in on random drugs based on someone getting an IV.
That’s a straw man argument, because that is not at all what is happening.
There are several factors, first the visible evidence of IV, then the MRI scans, which are used to monitor the effect of the treatment. Then multiple symptoms Trump is showing, like fatigue and dementia, some also claim Trump has a cycle of fatigue consistent with this treatment, also rumors of repeated cognitive tests, and almost but not quite finally that this is the best treatment that exist for the suspected circumstance, and would very likely be the one chosen for the president, and finally that this treatment was approved by FDA after Trump became president.
So 1. The obvious IV, 2. Multiple MRI, 2.Obvious Symptoms, 3. Cycle, 4. Cognitive tests, 5. Best known treatment, 6. Circumstances surrounding the approval of the treatment.
These are the ones I’ve picked up even without having great interest in the issue, so there may be more. Of course not all points are equally strong, and it’s all circumstantial. But it’s false to claim it’s just the IV.
And finally as u/dhork mention, the blatant lying is a clear indication it’s something serious.
