'It’s Time': Ex-Politico Editor Has 6 Blunt Questions About Trump’s Health

"There's enough smoke" for the media to ask tougher questions, said Garrett Graff.

Journalist Garrett Graff, a former editor of Politico Magazine, said “it’s time” for the press to start asking deeper questions about President Donald Trump’s health.

Graff said his column wasn’t intended to ignite any conspiracy theories so much as to “lay out visible obvious evidence” on several points, including some “curious questions” about the bruised hands the White House has blamed on aspirin use and handshaking.

“There’s reason to believe there’s more to it than that,” he wrote, noting that the bruises appear on both hands, not just the one he uses for greeting people, and that it’s not clear why Trump is taking aspirin given what’s known publicly about his health.

But the biggest issue may be the one that has caused a frenzy on social media in recent days: Trump’s decision to stay at the White House for the holiday weekend and remain largely absent from the public eye, with only brief and limited appearances since last Tuesday.

“Trump takes off for one of his golf resorts the first chance he can nearly every weekend of the year, and yet he’s just choosing to spend an extra-long holiday weekend hanging out at the White House? Why?” he wrote. “Is his medical team wanting to keep him closer to top secure medical facilities?”
